The Players Championship 2019: TV schedule, live stream

Here’s the how, when and where you can watch the 2019 edition of The Players Championship on TV and by live stream.

The Players Championship, back in its March spot on the calendar for the first time since 2006, is the flagship event of the PGA Tour and for years has been considered golf’s unofficial fifth major. Annually boasting one of the strongest overall fields of the year, the 2019 edition of The Players Championship also boasts the largest purse in the history of the game with a cool $12.5 million on the line, $2.25 million going to the winner.

144 of the top players in the world, including the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, have made their way to the famed Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass this week for four days of drama-filled golf and there are plenty of ways to keep up with all the action.

For those going the television route, Golf Channel and NBC will have you covered on that end with 22 hours of coverage over four days.
