How to watch and stream The Players Championship: TV coverage, tee times

One of the best fields in golf will tackle TPC Sawgrass on Thursday as The Players Championship begins in its new slot on the calendar, and players are expecting an entirely different course to the one they normally played in May. The 7,189-yard course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is playing significantly longer this week, and Tiger Woods said Tuesday that he’s hitting much longer second shots.

Tiger asked about the difference between Sawgrass in March vs. May.

Last year he hit 3-iron, 9-iron on 18. This morning, 3-wood, 3-iron.
