Let's talk money.

Actually, let's talk about A LOT of money. 

Since 1974, THE PLAYERS Championship has proved that you don't need to win a major to be considered one of the best players in the world. For a championship that is less than a half century old, THE PLAYERS has proven to be one of the most prestigious titles in the sport with its combination of playing field, course history at TPC Sawgrass and record-breaking purse. 

As we approach THE PLAYERS Championship 2019, the potential field is starting to shape up. Golfers can qualify for golf's unofficial 'fifth major' through a myriad of ways, including wins from even five years ago. We detailed how a golfer can qualify for THE PLAYERS previously, and with the tournament move to March this year, we know most of the names who have earned a bid into the championship. 

With a recent move to March, THE PLAYERS Championship has taken back its place as the golf tournament that kicks off an eventful summer of action. Often considered golf's unofficial "fifth major", THE PLAYERS Championship will set the pace of play that we will see at The Masters® 2019, The 2019 Open and beyond. 

Change is coming to the PGA Tour in 2019... a lot of change.

After a wild and unpredictable 2018 campaign, the PGA is reshuffling it's schedule, rules and championship qualifiers in an attempt to help the sport continue its annual growth. 

Often considered the 'fifth major' on the PGA TOUR, THE PLAYERS Championship has something in common with the four official major championships — they all boast the deepest playing fields that the sport has to offer. 

THE PLAYERS Championship is often considered the unofficial “fifth major” of golf, and will be making it’s triumphant return to March next year! For an event that has only been around for less than five decades, THE PLAYERS Championship is still rich with history and has a fascinating story of its own to tell.

On Mother’s Day 2018, May 13^th, Webb Simpson clinched THE PLAYERS Championship 2018 title. After losing his father last November, during an emotional interview Simpson said, “it’s been a tough few months for my mom, my brothers and sisters. This is a little beacon of light for my mom, to get this done on Mother’s Day.”

THE PLAYERS Championship is well underway and with one round of the tournament in the bag, fans and players alike are very confused. It may have been one of the most unpredictable first rounds with legends and former winners tied for last (yeah, we see you Lefty), and a few players tied for first have never won a major championship. It sets today and this weekend up for an exciting event when no one is quite sure what is going to happen.
