PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler returns to the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass this week after becoming the first back-to-back winner in the event's 50-year history in 2024.
This year, Scheffler will look to join Jack Nicklaus as only the second three-time winner; the Golden Bear won the Players in 1974, 1976 and 1978.
A year ago, Scheffler battled neck pain early in the second round and wasn't sure he could keep playing. He battled through the injury and found himself six shots behind Wyndham Clark at the halfway point.
