The 2019 Players Championship was the 46th Players Championship and was played March 14–17 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It was the 38th edition held at the Stadium Course and the first in March in thirteen years.
On January 28, 2019, it was announced the 2019 Players Championship would have a $12.5 million purse, "the biggest prize professional golf has ever seen for a single tournament." It was a 13 percent increase from the 2018 Championship.[1]
Rory McIlroy shot a two-under 70 in the final round for 272 (−16) to win his first Players, one stroke ahead of runner-up Jim Furyk. Defending champion Webb Simpson finished six strokes back, tied for 16th place.[2][3]
