The Players Championship is expected to take place at the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, starting on March 12 and lasting until March 17. The Players Championship has significantly increased in luxury from its previous iteration, with a $25 million purse and a $4.5 million first-place payout. The incumbent Players Championship champion, Scottie Scheffler, will try to hang on to the trophy. But considering that the players haven't been able to win titles or mount a solid defence on a regular basis, it might be challenging. Three of the first five events were won by Jack Nicklaus, but he did it in different years and at different venues. Since the 1982 transfer of the tournament to TPC Sawgrass, five players have won twice; the shortest interval between victories is six years (Steve Elkington: 1991, 1997).
