The second round of the 2026 Players Championship begins Friday, March 13, at TPC Sawgrass\u2019 Stadium Course<\/a> in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. You can find full Players Championship tee times for Friday\u2019s second round at the bottom of this article.<\/p>\n

Featured tee time for Round 2<\/p>\n

Two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas<\/a> is showing some signs of life at the Players Championship. <\/p>\n

Thomas missed the first part of the 2026 PGA Tour season while recovering from back surgery<\/a>. His first start back at last week\u2019s Arnold Palmer Invitational did not go well. He shot back-to-back 79s to miss the cut<\/a> by a wide margin.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d think that treacherous TPC Sawgrass would present an even bigger problem for Thomas as he works to re-find his form. But based on his early play, you\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n

Thomas shot out of the gates Thursday morning, making birdies on his first three holes to quickly move to three under<\/a>. That put him ahead of playing partner Scottie Scheffler<\/a> in the early going. By day\u2019s end, Thomas signed for a 68, putting him at four under and tied for second. The hot start sets him up nicely for Friday\u2019s second round.<\/p>\n

JT started on the 10th tee for the first round, so on Friday he\u2019ll switch to a 1st-tee start and an afternoon tee time. Thomas will tee off for Round 2 on Friday at 1:42 p.m. ET alongside Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n
