There is some good news for the fans. Started in 1974, The Players Championship 2025 is just around the corner! The 51-year-old Championship saw its first successful defense in 2024 with Scottie Scheffler. If he registers another win, he will be the only golfer alongside Jack Nicklaus to win at TPC Sawgrass. The stunning Championship will feature a total of 144 players at the 7,275-yard Par 72 course, including the famed island Par 3 at No. 7.
You will also see former LIV golfer Laurie Canter teeing off on March 13. This opportunity comes thanks to his world ranking (42) and the fact that he hasn’t attended any LIV event in a year. With so much excitement on the greens, you must be looking forward to the games! And we have a solution for you.
Without further ado, take a look at your complete viewing guide for The Players Championship 2025. If you can’t make it to the greens to watch the action in person, you can rely on The Golf Channel and NBC Sports app. On the first day, these channels will air the scheduled games from 1 pm to 7 pm (ET). Similarly, the Golf Channel and NBC Sports app will broadcast Round 2 (March 14), from 1 pm to 7 pm (ET).
The next two days are pretty straightforward as well. However, there are major changes in the final two days of the Championship. Firstly, Peacock will replace the Golf Channel. The second change involves the time itself. Since Round 3 is scheduled for 2 pm, NBC and Peacock will broadcast the games from 2 pm to 7 pm (ET). On the last day, the same channels will air the games, with NBC and Peacock broadcasting the final round from 1 pm to 7 pm (ET). Easy!
The live-streaming information will likely be updated closer to the event. However, now that you know the televised times, you can prepare all your snacks for the big hours featuring your favorite golf stars! What golf stars, you ask? Well, let us give you a glimpse into a few!
Star golfers to watch out at The Players Championship 2025
Before we take a look at the golfer teeing off on March 11, let’s explore the special course offering this opportunity! Originally a swampland, former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman purchased the land for just $1! Sounds intriguing? Later, Pete Dye and Alice Dye designed the course, which has hosted champions like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. With such a rich history, which golfers should we watch out for this season?
Last year, Scheffler had the most stunning season of his career. With seven wins in PGA Tour events, including victories at The Players Championship and the Masters Tournament, the young golfer attracted a fanbase rivaling only the big names in golf. However, looking at his 2025 season, Scheffler has had a moderate start this year. His best finish came at the Genesis Invitational, where he placed T3. Based on the 2024 season, we know that if there’s one player you can put your faith in, it’s Scheffler. How about the next golfer?
It’s Rory McIlroy. McIlroy’s season has fared better than Scottie Scheffler‘s, with the World No. 2 securing a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He is currently tied for T11 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. World No. 4 Ludvig Åberg is also doing well, having won the Genesis Invitational. He is currently tied for T32 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
With golfers like Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Lucas Glover, and more teeing off at TPC Sawgrass, it’s going to be exciting indeed. With so many skilled players to look forward to, we’re sure you don’t want to miss any action! So, make sure to mark your calendars to join in on the excitement!
