The latest episode of Out of Bounds previews the 2026 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, where a $25 million purse and 750 FedExCup points are on the line. The conversation centers on the tournament’s biggest storylines, including Scottie Scheffler’s pursuit of a rare third Players title and defending champion Rory McIlroy’s status after withdrawing from the Arnold Palmer Invitational with back spasms but planning to arrive at Sawgrass ahead of the event. The show also examines the PGA Tour’s ongoing generational shift, with schedule chatter, major status, and much more in play. The episode also touches on the unique challenge of TPC Sawgrass — particularly the iconic island-green 17th — and what it typically takes statistically to win one of golf’s most demanding tournaments.
