The Players Championship hope to have two-time champion Tiger Woods in the field for the upcoming tournament at TPC Sawgrass.

The world of golf would love to see Tiger Woods in action at The Players againCredit: GettyThe 15-time major winner was set to play at the recent Genesis Invitational but withdrew to focus on processing her loss.
Woods did make a TV appearance at Torrey Pines during Sunday's final round and said he is ‘looking forward to playing some bigger events’ soon while he has also been competing in TGL recently.
But his first appearance back in competitive golf could come at the 2025 Players Championship which starts on March 13.
Lee Smith, Executive Director of The Players, is hopeful of seeing Woods tee it up at Sawgrass in what would be ‘an amazing moment’ for the sport.
Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT.com, Smith said: “As a two-time Players Champion, we would love to have Tiger back in the field at TPC Sawgrass this year.
“His presence at any event elevates the global awareness of even the most premier championship, and to see him walk these fairways again would be incredible for our fans, partners and even his fellow players.
“As we’ve seen with TGL, just getting some glimpses into his greatness and shot-making ability for a brief moment here and there brings the internet to a halt, so to have that experience for a week at The Players would be an amazing moment for our game.”
Woods has not featured at The Players since 2019 but is no stranger to TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course having claimed victory twice around the famous Florida track.

Woods won The Players in 2013Credit: US PGA TOUROther former champions include Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Phil Mickelson with the showpiece tournament often seeing the best of the best come out on top.
Smith told talkSPORT.com: “This is an event our players take extreme pride in, and build their schedules around in order to make sure they are prepped and ready to go.
“There is a lot of course knowledge with The Players Stadium Course, which makes it tough for someone to win their first time around, or even contend in a few short years.
“Every tee shot, every approach shot, requires the utmost respect and thought, and that is something world-class players own in spades.
