The field for the 2024 Players Championship is set, with 144 golfers filling up the tee sheet.
There are 23 golfers, however, who are entered in the tournament for the first time. There’s a good chance many of them have played the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, before but this is the first time they’ll face tournament pressure there.
Four of them made the field by virtue of winning on the PGA Tour this season.
Everyone in the field has their eyes on the big prize, as the Players has the most official money up for grabs on the PGA Tour, with a $25 million total purse and a $4.5 million first-place prize. (The Tour Championship’s $75 million pool and $18 million first-place check is all considered bonus money and doesn’t count towards a players on-course official money earnings).
So without further ado, here is the list of 23 newbies teeing it up at the demanding, 7,275-yard test that is TPC Sawgrass this week. The golfers are listed in alphabetical order.
