WATCH: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, & other big name golfers arrive for The Players Championship 2025

The Players Championship is all set to take place at the Players Stadium Course this week. The tournament will see a star-studded line-up teeing off on Thursday.

PGA Tour recently took to X to announce the arrival of participating golfers for the event and titled it :

"The stars have arrived @THEPLAYERS 🤩"

The Players Championship will see the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Thomas, etc., competing this week.

Scheffler will arrive at TPC Sawgrass as the defending champion. After an extraordinary 2024 season, the ace golfer was forced to miss out on a bunch of early tournaments this year after a freak hand injury. He made his return to competition at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

However, after his comeback, the World No. 1 is yet to produce an exceptional performance. He will be looking to retain his title at the Players Championship this year.
