The biggest names in golf have assembled for the 51st installment of the Players Championship, each with an eye on ending Scottie Scheffler’s already-historic success as he sets his sights on a third consecutive victory at the tournament.

NBCUniversal platforms offer saturation coverage of the tournament throughout all four rounds, as a stellar field of top-rated golfers on the current PGA Tour takes aim at toppling Scheffler — the world’s No.1-rated golfer for almost two years running — from his seemingly unshakeable grip on the trophy.
