The Players Championship – 3 PGA Players To Watch

Rory McIlroy – The defending champion has fallen outside the top 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time since 2018. Rory is looking for a spark. He remarked after Sunday’s round at the API: “I need something and I just don’t seem to have it.” In looking at the positives though, McIlroy posted a 66 in round 1 of the Arnold Palmer invitational. Despite some recent let downs, he is confident he has some great golf in him.

“The good golf is in there, and I feel capable of going out and shooting good scores any week that I play on any golf course that I play, but it’s the days where you don’t feel so good that you need to manage it and get it around in a couple under par. That’s the challenge for me right now.” – Rory McIlroy

Tony Finau – One of these days, Finau will get his second PGA Tour win. Why not this week! Here is what you need to know about Tony, if he tees it up, he’s a shoe in to finish inside the top 10 seeing as he’s done so in five of his last seven worldwide starts.

Patrick Cantlay – If you look at strokes gained, he’s been the best player in the world in 2021. He has been consistently excellent over his last six starts with six top-20 finishes, including three top-five finishes, plus a win. He has finished top-25 in two of his three starts at TPC Sawgrass. The Stadium Course at Sawgrass requires precision ball striking and approach play.
