The Players Championship

The Players Championship (often styled as THE PLAYERS Championship or The PLAYERS) is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour. Originally known as the Tournament Players Championship, the tournament began in 1974. The Players Championship offers the highest prize fund of any tournament in golf ($10 million in 2014). The field usually includes the top fifty players in the world rankings, but unlike the three major championships staged in the United States, it is not an official event on the European Tour.
