Business has picked up significantly on the PGA Tour as the league’s best players have taken to TPC Sawgrass for the 2025 Players Championship. Following a tremendous signature event that created a ton of momentum to start the season, the PGA Tour’s flagship event is underway in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, one month before major championship season begins at the 2025 Masters.
Scottie Scheffler, the two-time reigning champion at The Players, entered as the favorite to become the first golfer in history to three-peat this tournament. Scheffler has not been playing his best golf to start 2025, but there have been signs of life lately. Rory McIlroy sits just behind Scheffler seeking his second win of the young season coming off a victory five weeks ago, while Collin Morikawa is fourth on the oddsboard after falling one stroke shy of a huge win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Jordan Spieth made waves early Thursday in Round 1 with a vintage up-and-down effort including everything from eagles to double bogeys. He entered the clubhouse among the top 10 on the leaderboard but has since been surpassed as the opening 18 holes drag onward.
There was hope that Tiger Woods would suit up for The Players; however, not only did he previously choose not to play in the tournament, the 15-time major champion announced Tuesday that surgery for a ruptured Achilles will keep him out of action indefinitely.
While attending The Players is a dream for many, simply being able to watch the event live from home or the office is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBS Sports are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall action throughout the week.
