The Players Championship 2026 will air in the US on Peacock.
Golf's unofficial "fifth major" is upon us as the world's best players head to Ponte Vedra Beach in Florida for the Players Championship.
Current world No. 2 Rory McIlroy comes into this year's tournament as the defending champ. However, the Irish star's hopes of matching Scottie Scheffler's recent back-to-back triumphs at Sawgrass have been cast in doubt due to a back injury that forced him to pull out of last weekend's Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite his disrupted preparations, McIlroy remains among the main favourites, with Scheffler and Collin Morikawa currently leading the betting with the bookies.
Up for grabs at the PGA's flagship tournament is a substantial $25 million prize pool and a tidy $4.5 million for the overall winner.
