PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The opening round of the 2026 Players Championship fell short of completion with a handful of players remaining on the course following a day filled with rain, wind changes and temperature fluctuations. With Mother Nature exiting stage left for Round 2, players should be able to zip through their 18 holes early Friday with some eyeing contention and others attempting to avoid the 36-hole cutline.
One man who will be hoping to maintain his place on the leaderboard is Sahith Theegala, who was the last of those tied for the lead at 5 under to complete his round. Theegala will experience a quick turnaround alongside Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth as the trio tees off at 8:40 a.m. ET on the back nine.
Following this group will be Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama and Rory McIlroy. McIlroy struggled to shake off some rust after not hitting balls for the last few days because of a back injury. The 2025 champion will look to claw his way back into the mix following an opening 74.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon, as TPC Sawgrass continues to dry out from the Thursday rains, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will attempt to find his footing. The two-time Players Championship winner had the highest score in his threesome (even par) along with Tommy Fleetwood’s 69 and Justin Thomas’ 68. This group will play at 1:42 p.m. off the first hole.
