The PLAYERS Championship TV Watch Guide 2025

Often dubbed the fifth major tournament of professional golf, the PLAYERS Championship is one of the most highly anticipated events of the season. With its iconic location at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and a star-studded field, fans eagerly await this annual event, especially when it comes to the legendary Island Green at the 17th hole.

This year, history is on the line as Scottie Scheffler looks to become the first player ever to win three consecutive PLAYERS Championships. After securing back-to-back victories in 2023 and 2024, Scheffler is chasing a feat that would further cement his status among golf’s all-time greats. He’ll face a stacked field featuring Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and other top contenders, all eager to end his dominance at Sawgrass.

For those who can’t make it to Sawgrass to experience the action in person, DIRECTV has you covered! This post will break down how you can watch every swing, chip and putt live on TV from March 13-16th.
