Featured grouping for Round 1
It was just over a month ago that Rory McIlroy was still No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking, a position he had held since winning the CJ Cup late last year. But then he was overtaken by Scottie Scheffler, who in short order was topped himself by Jon Rahm.

Rory nearly pulled off a win at last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, eventually finishing T2 one shot behind winner Kurt Kitayama. Now Rory is looking to get back in front of his rivals at the Players, which he won back in 2019.
For Thursday’s opening round at TPC Sawgrass, McIlroy will tee off at 7:56 a.m. ET, and he’ll play the first round alongside Scheffler and Rahm. You can stream Thursday’s first round via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ or watch the action on Golf Channel.
