The stage is set for one of the highlights of the golfing calendar, with the 2020 Players Championship getting under way at the iconic TPC Sawgrass on Thursday.

Rory McIlroy is back as the defending champion and many experts' favourite to win golf's unofficial fifth major again. The Northern irishman moved to the top of golf's world rankings earlier in the year. There's a stellar cast of players who will be in contention for glory, though.

In addition to the title itself, the winner picks up a sizeable $2,700,000 in prize money.
