Can Scottie Scheffler defend his title? Will Rory McIlroy return to the winner's circle? Could we see a shock winner at TPC Sawgrass? Storylines to follow at The Players this week, live on Sky Sports... Will Scheffler defend his Players crown? Scottie Scheffler is bidding to become the first golfer in Players Championship history to successfully defend his title, with the world No 1 arriving as the overwhelming favourite for back-to-back victories.
The divide at the top of the men's game means many of the sports' biggest names won't be able to feature since joining the LIV Golf League, with major champions Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka - along with 2022 champion Cameron Smith - among those to miss out. The Players has delivered high-profile champions in recent years, with McIlroy, Scheffler, Smith and Justin Thomas all lifting the trophy, although the PGA Tour has seen plenty of unlikely winners so far this season.
