THE PLAYERS Championship takes center stage this week at TPC Sawgrass, and Gary Williams breaks down everything to watch heading into one of golf’s biggest events.

With the PGA TOUR’s flagship event returning to the Stadium Course, the show looks at why THE PLAYERS has become one of the most unique and challenging tournaments in golf.

Guests include Ewan Murray (The Guardian) and Nick Dougherty (Sky Sports) offering a European perspective on the event, while Taylor Zarzour and Arron Oberholser discuss course strategy, the evolution of the PGA TOUR schedule, and what makes TPC Sawgrass such a demanding test.
