The 2026 Players Championship begins this week at the iconic TPC Sawgrass course in Florida. Here’s everything you need to know to watch a PGA Tour tournament, including the complete Players Championship TV schedule, streaming information and complete times for the first and second rounds.
How to watch The Players Championship
This week’s tournament represents the PGA Tour’s biggest event of the season, and golf’s biggest purse. Whoever walks away with the title Sunday at TPC Sawgrass will earn a whopping $4.5 million from the $25 million Players Championship jackpot.
The top two golfers in The Players, and the Official World Golf Ranking, get top billing this week, and for good reason. The last time someone not named Rory McIlroy or Scottie Scheffler won The Players was back in 2022.
Last year, McIlroy claimed his second Masters title a month before winning his first green jacket at the Masters. Before that, Scheffler won consecutively in 2023 and 2024.
McIlroy and Scheffler aren’t the only stars in the field, however. This year’s players field the strongest field in golf. Among those threatening to win are two-time major champions, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, as well as rising stars Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth.
NBC and Golf Channel will provide TV coverage of the 2026 Players Championship, while PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide broadcast coverage and featured team coverage throughout the week. The Peacock will televise the NBC Players Championship.
