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.
With THE PLAYERS Championship's move to March in 2019, it becomes the first mega-field tournament of the 2019 PGA TOUR season. 144 golfers enter the fray at TPC Sawgrass, and one comes out the champion. But with such a large field, it leaves the question of how one can gain qualification.
Surprisingly, there's a ton of ways that golfers can qualify for THE PLAYERS next year. Here they are:
