Odds to Win The Players Championship

The Players Championship is widely regarded as the top non-major golf tournament on the PGA Tour, and the 2020 edition of the tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is shaping up to be a classic. When it comes to odds lists, Rory McIlroy is the man to beat.

Who is Going to Win the Players?

The Players is Back in March

As a result of the major format shakeup in the 2018-19 season, The Players will be returning for the second year in a row to its March roots, when it was held for its first 33 editions. That means weather is expected to be more of a factor than in its previous May setup, so be careful about backing golfers who’ve notoriously struggled in rough conditions.

Dustin Johnson is returning to action for the first time since playing at the WGC-Mexico Championship. The American posted a T-5 here a year ago – his best finish at the tournament. Each of the top 10 players in the world rankings will be teeing it up at Sawgrass.

Good Luck Going Back to Back at the Players

McIlroy kick-started his FedExCup-winning campaign with a win at the Players last season, going on to win the RBC Canadian Open and the Tour Championship along with the WGC-HSBC Champions in the 2019 calendar year. Last year, the final round was marred by rain and strong winds.

The Players has become an event full of international success, as the tournament has been won by golfers from six different countries in the last 10 years. In its history, no one has won the Players in back-to-back editions.

The course, a 7,189-yard par 72, is one of the most recognizable venues on the tour. The hole that gets the most attention is its shortest – the 137-yard par-3 17th water hole.
