The PGA Tour is set to move to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, for The Players Championship 2025. The premier event of the circuit is scheduled to take place from March 13 to 16 at TPC Sawgrass.

The Players Championship will feature 144 players competing for a whopping $25,000,000 purse. Since the event is also regarded as the fifth major, most of the top players on the PGA Tour will be in action at TPC Sawgrass.

Scottie Scheffler is the defending back-to-back champion and will be looking to register a three-peat. Tiger Woods, who was expected to make his comeback this week, will continue to remain out of action on the PGA Tour.
