Golf’s unofficial fifth major traditionally boasts the best field of the entire year, and do not expect anything different come this Thursday at Ponta Vedra Beach for the 2021 PLAYERS Championship. THE PLAYERS often brings the most casual of golf fans into the sports for the calendar year, as the Masters is not too far off with the string of major after major each month throughout the summer after that.
Of course, we all remember one year ago, when after the first round of play, the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19 — the end of live sporting events as we knew it for the next four months or so.
