One of the highlights of the golfing calendar takes place this month at The Players, with round-the-clock coverage from TPC Sawgrass live on Sky Sports’ dedicated channel.
Sky Sports will once again be the home of golf's 'fifth major', where Justin Thomas returns to defend his title and almost all the world's top 50 feature in the flagship event on the PGA Tour schedule.
Rory McIlroy will be looking to win the event for a second time, having claimed a narrow victory in 2019, while Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa will continue their rivalry at the top of the world rankings.
The dedicated Players Championship channel, Sky Sports The Players, will have over 60 hours of live coverage from Florida during tournament week from March 7-13, including from before the opening tee shot during all four tournament rounds.
Coverage begins from 11.30am over the first two days and 12.30pm on Saturday, before switching back to 11.30am on Sunday, with extended live analysis after each round is completed.
