How To Watch The Players Championship

The PGA Tour switches to the incredible TPC Sawgrass next week with the playing of the 5th Major of the year, the Players Championship.

Every year, a stellar field is put together and 2018 is no exception with every big name signing themselves up, such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, and Justin Thomas.

The course, as ever, will be a stern test with the closing three holes amongst the most famous in all of golf. The par-3 17th in particular, has produced some spectacular moments through the years.

Last years champion was South Korean Si Woo Kim who shot a final round 69 to beat Ian Poulter and Louis Oosthuizen by three strokes. It was his 2nd PGA Tour victory.
