All eyes will be on TPC Sawgrass this week for the Players Championship – the flagship event of the PGA Tour season.

Though Rory McIlroy's title defence is in question due to a back injury, there will be no shortage of star power in what is golf's strongest field outside the four majors.

After a difficult few weeks, world No.1 Scottie Scheffler will relish his return to the Players, where he won in 2023 and 2024.

Among those tipped to compete with Scheffler in the 123-player field are Tommy Fleetwood, a revitalised Collin Morikawa, and Chris Gotterup, who has flown up the world rankings this year.

The arrival of the Players Championship means golf's major season is nearly upon us. Fans can tune into extensive coverage from Thursday to Sunday as the world's best players take on TPC Sawgrass and each other.

Radio Times brings you all the details about how to watch the Players Championship 2026.
