Sawgrass Storms & LIV Records - March 13th, 2026
On March 13th, 2026, severe weather suspended the opening round of The Players Championship as Maverick McNealy took the clubhouse lead, while over at LIV Singapore, Jon Rahm and Richard T Lee made history.
- Severe weather and "sideways rain" suspended the opening round at TPC Sawgrass, leaving Maverick McNealy with the clubhouse lead at five-under while Collin Morikawa suffered a devastating lower-back injury on the 11th tee.
- Rory McIlroy silenced back-spasm doubts with 187 mph ball speeds, joking "the drugs are working wonders," while McNealy noted he survived "all four seasons."
- Amateur David Ford made a thrilling alternate debut replacing Ryan Fox, calling it "sweet to experience The Players as a player," while the 17th hole claimed a "three for three" water-ball victim group of Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Davis, and Kevin Yu.
- Off the course, PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp pitched a promotion/relegation system and a match-play Tour Championship to "just think like a fan," a proposal strongly backed by Max Homa to create a "Super Bowl" feel.
- Jordan Spieth is pushing to ban arm-bar putting to ensure the putter remains the "shortest club in your bag."
- The tournament faces a glaring systemic diversity issue with zero African American players in the field for the second consecutive year, while on the course, Scottie Scheffler reverted to his old driver and hit a legendary blind approach on the 15th.
- Richard T Lee made history as the first Wild Card to lead a round, while Jon Rahm set a LIV record with his 22nd consecutive under-par round despite a near-miss with a Pacific swallow.
- Lee admitted he felt like a "little loner" out on the course while sharing the fairways with a massive monitor lizard.
- A delirious Bryson DeChambeau battled the heat with new Bettinardi wedges, joking his major championship prep consisted of "chocolate milk and a lot of drivers."
Jhonnattan Vegas makes a quad on the menacing 17th hole • Ludvig Aberg hits a near hole-in-one at the island green • Tommy Fleetwood makes a late eagle charge before the weather horn blew
