How To Watch The Players Championship - don't miss any of the action from the 'fifth Major'

How To Watch The Players Championship

We head to TPC Sawgrass this week on the PGA Tour for one of the best tournaments of the year, The Players Championship. As you would expect there is a stellar field of players down to compete, (sadly no Tiger Woods though), such as world number one Jon Rahm and two guys chasing him down Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. In fact 43 of the world's top-50 are down to compete and there are a lot more players looking to show some form as we approach The Masters next month. In fact some guys in the field will look to get into the first men's Major of the year with a strong showing this week. 

Of course, the course itself is a star of the show, chief among which is the final stretch of holes. The par-5 16th, par-3 17th and par-4 18th are water laden and is one of the toughest closing stretches in golf, especially with the tournament on the line. 

So to make sure you miss none of the action, below are the details on how you can watch the event via ESPN+, one of the best places to watch as much golf as possible! (We have also included some selected tee times below if you wanted to see when the big guys tee off this week).
