It is often referred to as the fifth major.
The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida is clearly one of the highlights of the PGA Tour. It may not be as big as the Masters or the U.S. Open, but this tournament attracts one of the most high-profile fields of the year. It also features the famous island green on the 17th hole and the dangerous finishing par-4 18th hole.
The first round belonged to British golfer Tommy Fleetwood and American Keegan Bradley. Both golfers finished the opening round at seven under par, one stroke better than Brian Harman and Byeong Hun An.
