The 122-player field has been cut to 73. Now it’s time to play the final 36 holes at TPC Sawgrass and crown a champion.
Will it be Ludvig Åberg using a 9-under 63 on Friday to carry him to Players Championship glory or will Xander Schauffele avenge his 2024 loss to Scottie Scheffler?
Of course, there’s Cameron Young — driving the ball as well as any player on Tour. And Justin Thomas returning to form sooner than he or anyone else might have expected. The 2021 Players winner is in contention Saturday.
The Players Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, did its damage to the following players who failed to make the 36-hole cut.
Storylines are ready to be written, but before they’re set in stone there’s still golf to watch.
