The 2018 Players Championship will feature a loaded grouping of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Rickie Fowler. With tee times for the marquee event beginning at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, fans will have plenty of star power to follow. Phil and Tiger haven’t been paired since the 2014 PGA Championship.
Another group features Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Rory McIlroy. All eyes, however, will be on Tiger. The 42-year-old mega-star is currently ranked No. 93 on the PGA Tour. Earlier this week, he tied for 55th at 2-over 286 at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte. It was only the 11th time in his PGA Tour career that he failed to record a birdie.
Having not played at the @WellsFargoGolf in six years, it really meant a lot to me to receive so much love and support from the fans all week. I won’t forget it, thanks again Charlotte.

Is Tiger really back or has his recent surge been a mirage? Fans will look to this weekend to help answer that question.
BetDSI Sportsbook is offering a lake-full list of props for The Players Championship. Naturally, most of the props are centered around the famous “Island Green” 17th hole.
After a pedestrian showing at Quail Hollow, oddsmakers at BetDSI have essentially positioned the chances of Tiger making the cut at TPC Sawgrass a tossup. He has 35/1 odds to win the tournament, which you can find below.
