The Florida swing continues at the 52nd edition of THE PLAYERS Championship, which returns to TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

The TOUR's best will tee it up, including two-time champions Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who will be defending his epic 2025 title won in a playoff, and other past champions like Adam Scott, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler.

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.
