Notes: The Players Championship has the biggest purse in golf at $25 million. ... The tournament has been referred to casually as the fifth major as the biggest event on the strongest tour. But it has lost the claim for having the strongest field because of all the defections to Saudi-funded LIV Golf. ... Tiger Woods has decided not to play. He would have been exempt from his 2019 Masters victory. ... This is the 50th edition of The Players. ... No one has ever won back to back at The Players, although Padraig Harrington was a runner-up in consecutive years. ... Victory comes with a three-year exemption into the four majors. ... Steve Stricker is in the field as the Senior Players Championship winner. ... This is the 30-year anniversary of Greg Norman setting the tournament record of 264. ... The Players has been held at the TPC Sawgrass since 1982. No one has won more than twice on the Stadium Course. ... Woods is the only player to have won The Players and the Masters in the same year.
