2025 Players Championship Features 144 Top Golfers in Florida

The 2025 Players Championship is scheduled for March 11-16 at TPC Sawgrass, featuring a field of 144 top golfers, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who aims to achieve a historic three-peat. Notably, Tiger Woods will not participate, marking the absence of the only significant past champion from the event. The tournament holds a $25 million purse, with 48 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking competing. This year's event is particularly significant as it will be the last with a 144-player field, as the PGA Tour plans to reduce it to 120 players in the following years. Additionally, there will be 24 debut appearances, including former LIV Golf player Laurie Canter. The Players Championship remains a highlight on the PGA Tour, providing a major-like atmosphere with numerous attractions for spectators beyond just golf.
