Does the 2025 Players Championship clash with a LIV Golf event? Schedule explored

The 2025 Players Championship is scheduled to be held in the same time frame as the 2025 LIV Golf Singapore. The Players Championship is scheduled to take place from March 13 to 16 at TPC Sawgrass and the tournament has a $25 million purse.

At the same time, LIV Golf Singapore will take place from March 14 to 16 at the Sentosa Golf Club, Singapore. NUCLR Golf shared a post on X writing about the thoughts of Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard, who had reported that LIV golfers may be able to play at the Players Championship this year. The post read:

“Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard reports that a LIV golfer told him the PGA TOUR could be open to seeing LIV Golfers competing at PGA TOUR events as early as the 2025 PLAYERS Championship. The meeting which began at 12 PM is reportedly wrapping up.”

This post was reshared by Flushing It, which countered it by mentioning that LIV Golf Singapore is set to take place in the same week and all the LIV golfers were contracted to play there.

“One huge bit of context is missing here, LIV Golf Singapore is that same week and all LIV Golfers are contracted to play.”

Scottie Scheffler won the Players Championship last year with 20 under and the defending champion will return to compete at the event this year.
