The PGA TOUR heads to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida this week for the 50th anniversary of the THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returns to TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course looking to become the first golfer to go back-to-back at THE PLAYERS after his impressive win last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. This was his seventh victory on TOUR since the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. He has also claimed four top-10s across his five starts so far this season. Rory McIlroy will also be in the field this week. He is without a top-20 this season but will take confidence from his victory here in 2019. Viktor Hovland returns to TPC Sawgrass following two straight top-10 finishes at THE PLAYERS, including a solo third last season. Others to look out for are 2021 PLAYERS winner Justin Thomas, 2023 U.S Open champion Wyndham Clark, Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele.

He likes it and he should indeed he should right over the flag took a little off it controlled the spin third for coocher down in that area where Jason day was at the 11th earlier oh little different result though how about that stop 33 and former champ shley will have a crack at

The 11th here from 231 and hit the high cut front hole location trying to get it land softly oh how about this shot magnificent wow hoblin at 11 well wedge in hand use the back stop oh look at this yeah M Michael Kim next to take on the

17 this just this anticipation building every shot got a chance to go in come down the slope it’s going to come to the right come to the right wow tell you what Folks up on the hillside at 17 are going to get their money’s worth today that is pretty that is

Pretty oh he took a lot of spin off of that one Billy perfect shot underneath the hole there for Rory 199 left you almost love to play a little lower flighted shot to one skip it back there oh or just flyed in the hole almost 16th earlier and he made Eagle

Now has the tea at the island green come on down the hill about a little three did he do it 3 no way ah do it big man kiwi magic right there off for your birie Ryan fox has joined a very exclusive list becoming just the 14th

Player in tournament history to Ace the 17 now this would be for four birdies in a row can’t make this one can you uhoh x marks the spot nice SL done exactly SE straa bunkered here at 11 oh a lot of speed no what’s going on you

Know what to me on this is a very penal Golf Course when you miss it in the wrong spots Justin Rose out of position at the first this was his third shot a moment ago oh no no longer out of position to become number one in the

World uh talk to his CAD a Joe scin earlier in the week on the Range he said look this guy has absolutely no weaknesses in his game whatsoever he drives it long he drives it straight good short game good Putter and he said the best thing of all 150 yard yards he’s

Lucky knowing where that t- shot comes from he would have had to drop back maybe 280 yards oh my goodness you were saying holy [Applause] C oh did he pull it off what a shot what a shot get it 20 yds from the front of the green that’s how to spin beautifully how

About that from Sam Burns get back on the birdie train in the middle of the Arnold Palmer Invitational this for birdie and a share of the lead and a little bit of history at the players as well melroy’s ninth birdie four players have had 10 and he

Has 10 with that one so add to it Harris Singlish is just beginning his first round pretty manageable bunker shot here sand is fairly predictable and when it’s predictable Steve you can make some magic that is how you start the 50th players Harris sish makes it from the

Bunker of 10 part three Nikolai board back left location here Mike you can utilize the slope that’s in the middle of the green land it to the right of the hole and let it trickle a little bit like that done mhm he’s done done such a wonderful job

Of elevating his game coming off the corn fairy tour you can see that huge power is this going to go down did he do it oh it rims out but he’s going to have a tap in at the 12th coming off that Eagle at 11 here’s Cory Connors

301 eagled 11 and oh hello well back to backles there man at the 12th here’s Cameron young thinking the lofted club going to get a little spin on it [Applause] bingos looking to throw that past the hall bring it back a little there you go fala at the fifth his second shot

Yeah if the line is okay in this bunker it’s not that bad because you’re playing to a good angle to the front left hole location there you go and there’s no real lip on the bunker to worry about to three M Schmid has a good start going

Started on 10 here he is on the par three third aggressive line um and great distance control as well say wow 516 yd hole familiar pause at the top high ball hitter one of the highest on tour this will not bounce very far when it lands oh it hits the

Down slope this is good that’s fantastic right at the flag setting up the third shot here at the par five wow there’s an indication of how strong and deep and thick that R look at this shot boy look at this keep coming strength doesn’t matter wow what a shot from wind Windam Clark

Max Hol is over here at 11 he’s in the pine straw but we’re going here well 248 they we get plenty of Club on it watching it anxiously oh boy look at that oh man he pulled it off wow oldest rookie ever at a Players Championship at age 42 well we saw him

Getting the contention of the cognizant and had some impressive speed oh and that’s an impressive shot and bounce oh wow that is awesome we saw the terrific second from Schmid one of the rare players to get to the ninth and two chance to finish with an eagle putting down through the low back

Up to the upper level this looks really good man that is the first eagle of the day at the ninth and someway to finish off the pin straw Matthew Fitzpatrick at the 15th second shot at the par for contact sounded good he likes to turn the ball a little from right to

Left yeah guess [Applause] wow right there it hits that down slope it gets a little fast but it doesn’t seem to be too fast today for these players oh yes yes Eagle lands for the Frenchman and Ricky Fowler who’s missed a few Fairways to the right today yes he

Certainly has there’s been a TR a trend and with a good lie though a great angle to the whole location here on the left yeah wow just a good for iron trying to hit at the center of the green this is on an aggressive line right at the flag stick

I don’t think he likes it heeling a little right and right of the stick he look like sheffler after Sheffer shot on 14 well Gary’s got a great look here I don’t think he’s missing this one wow just too easy 14 the G over on this

Left side of the Fairway up and over the Oaks yeah it’s not really hard to get it over those Oaks G he uh Dan you just can’t see the flag stick you’re right didn’t bother him slight movement to the right yeah Windam Clark is tied for the
