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.

Awkward stances you can get in out here leg stretch back right straight athlete good chance to make it a birning boy he missed a short one on the first he’d love to get out of here obviously with all that weight forward that guys want to get down into

That left leg so he felt better with his right leg way back and using it to help drive into that left leg even more use it as a break to SL one got away at the first not at the second for shop Le he creeps up there to

11 under difficult with all this changing wind direction with it every hole is playing different than how you PL in your head and your warmup yeah that’s exactly right you probably playing for some right to left here this is up the left side see if he

Took a short enough Club to stay in the Fairway he did smart play off that t John we’ve seen players Miss it left rough here right bunker here all over trying to use that slope it looks like boy hit their number dead on see if it comes back needed a touch more

Backspin there wood he getting better and better Shop’s got a good look at his second Birdie the first four holes downhill right to left you got to get your speed correct to keep the line had it all going there and shley who has had second most top 10 on tour

The last two years to a guy named Scotty sheffler Nails it and he is within three it Winks at you that’s for sure kids this is over the top of it on a good line see how far back it gets there that’s a strong wedge there making it look easy Xander shley indeed

With his third burdie of the first six to within two of Clark this is going to need to get over the top of that tree or through it started left didn’t it it did it did wow wow racing over the back should stay in the closely moan nope it’s going to get Them boy this is so good just can’t tell you how good that is almost looked weightless in transition it did yeah see he just got the club one right through and see how much descent there even in a lie out of the rough he’s taking dirt that’s going

Down double ditch’s angle of attack easily just flew it right on the front y almost a bunker shot from the grass a terrific up and down in Zander [Applause] shley left to right Breeze this is down the right side over cutting this is going to find the pine straw unless it

Kicks out that’s right to where mcne hit it looks like he’ll have a clear swing path going out to the right make sure this thing hooks boy good contact and exactly what he was trying to do turning left of the green towards that front bunker on the green for a

Second he’ll take that 99 and 100 times for sure y just a really baked out out lie there he just clipped it nice play for the pin straw so Xander will have a putt to get to 15 underp rough pin straw chip FL group it’s in the this is out to the right

A fast pitch but uh very playable just done that first cut yeah I think he’s got to land this one short as well get some spin on it there you go thought it would release a little bit more down that Hill I believe so he’s

Got a birdie putt Clark has a par putt breaks pretty good right to left here got to keep your speed up or it’ll dive down towards that L what a round curls around it end for shley and what around he’s got going that’s his sixth bird he might have the

Lead by himself if Clark can’t convert the parot kind of the same shot Fanning out to the right side of the green yeah be a bit disappointed with that this is not one you practice very often from this on this green but it’s straight downhill Hill this last half picking up speed and

Shly HS it they’re going in from everywhere Dan [Applause] Wow and his left that his towards the walkway oh he’s lucky that got On The Fringe right there it’s going to be really good that’s a complete circle what touch he’s done that with so many of his long putts

Today last year in this and Windam Clark and Xander schafle has just gone out there and played 17 holes and made no Bogies seven birdies it’s a catch Clark and he will be up there alone took it low trying to run something back there needs to bounce over those little Mogul doesn’t make

It judged it perfectly got a chance to go in far above the ball was from his feet too he’s dealing with a lot of stuff there yeah he’s got right to left slope right to left slope on the green right to left wi helping and I mean it landed just

Perfectly you couldn’t have drawn it up any better than that of release and and height on it the higher you have to hit a shot early the harder it is to judge how far it’s going to roll and this guy’s had to and shoy TAPS in for car 13 of 14 and
