Golf’s unofficial fifth Major, The Players Championship, takes centre stage at TPC Sawgrass this week and talkSPORT will be in Florida to bring you all the action.
A stellar field will take to the iconic golf course at Ponte Vedra Beach as they gear up for the first Major of the year at next month’s Masters.
World number one and reigning Players champion Rory McIlroy will be among the favourites to claim glory on the PGA Tour’s flagship event.

Rory McIlroy claimed glory at The Players last year
TPC Sawgrass is infamous the world over for its Island Green, the par-3 17th that has produced countless memorable moments over the years.
McIlroy finished a stroke ahead of Sawgrass-native Jim Furyk last year as the northern Irishman enjoyed a stunning 2019.
The 30-year-old will be eager to complete his career grand slam at the Masters and a good showing this week will stand him in good stead.
But he’ll be up against the likes of Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Tommy Fleetwood at the 47th edition of the tournament.
Two-time Players champion Tiger Woods has had to withdraw from the competition due to a back injury.
