The biggest event of the first quarter of the golf year has arrived with the best field of 2022 thus far set to put on a show at The Players Championship. The pristine TPC Sawgrass course will serve as host with the first 18 holes prepared to set the stage for what should be a tremendous tournament on Thursday in Round 1.
This week could be a slog. Tons of rain is expected, including over the first two days, and howling winds could descend over the weekend. That should favor ball-strikers, the players who can flight their golf ball underneath the gusts and hold it against some of the heavier stuff on the slew of water holes TPC Sawgrass has to offer.
Regardless of the weather, this week’s Players should rock. It’s a massive event with huge career implication and a trophy (not to mention first-place prize money of $3.6 million) that may crown someone as the Masters favorite. Between the island green at No. 17, the loaded-up leaderboard and a handful of golfers attempting to overtake Jon Rahm as the No. 1 player in the world, the next four days are going to absolutely rock.
What will go down at TPC Sawgrass on Thursday? Check out the scores at the top of the page, and keep on reading for live updates and highlights from the first round of the 2022 Players Championship.
