The tour stays in Florida for THE PLAYERS Championship and what many call the fifth Major and will now always be synonymous with COVID19. THE PLAYERS marked the start of isolation and no sport for many of us around the world. I am sure many of the players will recall that Thursday when the tournament was cancelled as they arrive here this week.

The Players is always a great event and Pete Dye’s Stadium course is a fitting venue that doesn’t disappoint. Every year this course throws up drama and none more so than the 17th, plenty has been said about this hole, but there is a true replica at Eagles Eye golf club in Michigan that you can play if you can’t make it to Sawgrass.

The Players now offers the highest prize fund on the PGA Tour at a staggering $25 million with the winner taking a $4.5 million cut of that. The tournament used to be a warm up to the Masters and played in March, but with the move to May as a lead up to the US Open, the course now plays very differently and is much dryer, harder and faster.

In 2006 the course implemented massive changes, they tore up the old course and then brought in 26,600 tons of sand, 2.6 million square feet of Bermuda grass, 116,600 feet of pipe for irrigation, 19 acres of sod for landscaping, 200 new trees made up of oaks, pines and palms, new natural waste areas, lower-level bunkers, greenside chipping areas and water hazards. From a spectators point of view it makes great viewing, the changes are seen as a positive move by both the players and the tour.


My tips to Win:

Rory McIlroy 14/1 – with BetVictor – hopefully the tweak in his back clears up for him to be able to compete this week and defend his title

Collin Morikawa 20/1 – with AKBets – has a win and two Top 10s in his last three starts

Ludvig Åberg 25/1 – with BetVictor – not a great start to the year, but has two Top 20s in his last two starts including his third-place finish at the weekend


Each-way tips:

Si Woo Kim 30/1 – with AKBets – only been outside the Top 15 twice in his seven starts this year, with a runner-up and third-place finishes in that run

Min Woo Lee 45/1 – with AKBets – has three Top 15 finishes in his last three starts including a runner-up finish


Longer odds:

Corey Conners 100/1 – with AKBets – has three Top 15 finishes in his last five starts at Sawgrass, two of which have been Top 10s

Marco Penge 160/1 – with AKBets – It took a couple of tournaments to settle down, but I think Marco’s Top 20 finish at the Genesis Invitational showed him that he can compete on the PGA Tour

As always good luck
