The PGA TOUR heads to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida this week for the 50th anniversary of the THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler returns to TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course looking to become the first golfer to go back-to-back at THE PLAYERS after his impressive win last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. This was his seventh victory on TOUR since the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. He has also claimed four top-10s across his five starts so far this season. Rory McIlroy will also be in the field this week. He is without a top-20 this season but will take confidence from his victory here in 2019. Viktor Hovland returns to TPC Sawgrass following two straight top-10 finishes at THE PLAYERS, including a solo third last season. Others to look out for are 2021 PLAYERS winner Justin Thomas, 2023 U.S Open champion Wyndham Clark, Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele.

Until the 4th round. This guy will choke, like always.

Please win, please win

If he keeps cheating like he did yesterday, he has a shot.

[@simontemplet4023]

He will just complain that it’s not a major

[@chrispalmer9952]

He's choking a little early this time round.... The Australian Open should be a major over this tournament.

I will say Rory makes me watch when he is playing. There is nothing I enjoy more than watching him fold in the last round, just like he will do this week.

Good Time with Rory

[@glenmaragon5201]

EVERY time I put money on him (did after 1st round @ evens to finish in the top 10) he f***s up! Now, if he just paid me NOT to bet on him he'd be quids in!!!

[@mrtibbz10]

Don't gamble, watch a sport you enjoy. Just because you're a degenerate and can't take your gf or bf out. Get over it bum.

let's see if rory can keep it up and win this one!

Got to show the water balls! That's the story of the round!

[@John64125]

The sound his club makes against the ball is so pure. It’s like a whip cracking. If I could do that for just one day of my life I would be happy!

GRANDE RORY 🇲🇽

Absolutely love it when his game falls apart.

I absolutely love it when you shut your mouth

[@andreasaristotelous4369]

looks like rory is playing more open to target. Definatley playing like old rory!!

[@oceanyt8]

Among all golf players, I really want him to win badly. So much of patient and golf etiquette. A true role model.

[@TheHalo14aus]

Not many can keep pace with Rory when he's on his game.

[@1kJae]

His swing reminds me of young Tiger. Just like Tiger , when his iron game is on he's just so damn good. I'd love to see Rory walk away with one this weekend.

[@gasperstarina9837]

He is animal and his mentall game, if it was strong he would be chasing Tiger and Niclaus @Majors if he ONLY on avg won one a year+4he has (17) and he is most dominant player 2012-2022 and still is when playing good

[@JJG86]

@@1kJae He gets away with cheating, just like Tiger.

@@gasperstarina9837 if Scheffler putts well, he’s better than anyone on the planet. Second, would be Rahm.

Rory gonna crumble as the course firms up. He's fighting the hooks this year

Brad Faxon should move in with Rory. Putting 100% better!

Only 8 min lazy editing ?

[@philiprea8340]

He always falls apart… I don’t know maybe he’s not that good… I always root for him and most of the time he lets me down… what happens to him

[@mikerogers1949]

Solid round. Could have been a 60. All birdies on par 5s were two putts… could have made an eagled and that double was a school boy error

[@brianyu1104]

shut up scrub

[@sssandhu78]

That simple…

[@blackheart7886]

Not up against so many good players now, so he has a chance to win something. Ho Ho ho !

[@JJG86]

He’s very good at taking illegal drops. Spieth and Hovland, wouldn’t even talk about it when they got off the course.

[@dankool688]

Always good start but not closing in these big events..shocking he haven't won any majors in a decade..

[@JJG86]

For most of the past 10 years, he’s been a poor wedge player.

[@CDubRealTalk]

He cant putt on Sundays

[@olympiaaa3020]

He is really good at golf, he should try going pro!

[@garyknight8432]

Pity the last two rounds were thrown away. This draw/fade swing ain't working, he's trying to muscle this course. It ain't doing him any favours. Play the way you used to.

[@sergioacuesta6042]

is he alone in the leaderboard?

[@stang4747]

looks like Morikawa is going to have another average performance this season. What happened to his game?

He got married

No, he's tied for the lead.

And he lost 4 shots (3 bein' in water and a putt) if he wants to win he cannot do it again (we 'seen it in Dubai, recovered from first quadripple, almost from second but wasn't enough

If everyone turned up to a tournament with their A game, I think Rory wins.

[@JJG86]

Scheffler wins, not even a close second.

[@turdferguson2839]

It would be a shame if he won, especially since he cheated on #7

[@JJG86]

100%

[@TL-rl9xk]

So we get an edited censored clip? Rory finds trouble with hazard, water ball and controversy, but, it’s deleted from the clip like it never happened? Ridiculous.

[@GolfLifer67]

There's literally a whole video on that one thing lol

[@JJG86]

Just like Tiger, he gets away with skirting the rules.

[@TheDhauladhar]

If only he could shut up, stop peddling career advice to other adults about their life choices, and focus on golf. Rory, don’t be Jay’s lacky. Go with your golf.

[@Cutlerypotato]

Rory put the Patrick Reed rulebook in his bag this week

rory should be ejected with cheating. The spot is completely wrong.
