The PGA TOUR continues its Florida Swing at the 50th edition of the THE PLAYERS Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. THE PLAYERS will be contested at TPC Sawgrass' Stadium Course from March 14-17.

Defending champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler highlights the field. Past champions, including Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler return, while new faces look to capture the coveted trophy.

The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
