THE PLAYERS Championship tees off this week from TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The tournament oft referred to as “the fifth major” will bring together a talented and elite field of golfers from the PGA TOUR to compete in the signature event. The golfers will compete for a share of a $25 million purse, with the winner taking home $4.5 million.
Scottie Scheffler enters as the favorite to win, installed at +550 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Scheffler switched putters last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational after having issues on the green all season, and put together a dominant win at Bay Hill. Scheffler also won last year’s PLAYERS, defeating runner-up Tyrrell Hatton by five strokes.
Rory McIlroy follows at +1200, and Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas enter at +2000 apiece. Viktor Hovland is installed at +2200. Will Zalatoris, Max Homa, and Patrick Cantlay come in at +2500.
