The field is starting to take shape for the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass for the 53rd Championship, which promises to be a cracker.
This golf tournament at Ponte Vedra Beach has been graced by the greats: Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Tiger Woods. All of these players have won the event in its illustrious history.
It is a golf course that every PGA Tour fan is familiar with – one of the many reasons why it is regarded as the sport’s fifth major championship.
There might be a $25 million purse and a field littered with golf’s biggest stars but, unlike the PGA Tour’s Signature Events with limited fields and sometimes no cuts, this tournament is a full-field format, offering plenty of opportunities for glory.
Cameron Young is the defending champion after narrowly beating Matt Fitzpatrick, following the Englishman’s final-hole bogey. The World number three made an impressive birdie on the famous 17th, to draw level heading down the last.
There will be much anticipation to see Young and the rest of his PGA Tour colleagues take on the island green on the 17th hole and the rest of the challenges that Pete Dye’s TPC Sawgrass presents.
The field is made up of winners of PGA Tour events through the final week before The Players and many other players from the FedEx Cup rankings and various other permutations, as well as the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
