OK, so this is a little early at about a week away, just bored with this week,s event I guess.
However, The Players again is set to be something special, in its position as possible 5th major.
2019 Format
As of 2019 the victor will receive OMG $2.25 million, the winner's share is (18%) of the largest purse in golf ($12.5 million), and receives 80 points towards his world ranking, the largest share aside from the majors, for which winners earn 100 points.
For comparison, the winners of the four individual World Golf Championships generally receive between 70 and 78 points.
The winner also receives a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour (formerly ten years),[6] a three-year invitation to the Masters Tournament, three-year exemptions for the U.S. Open and The Open Championship, and an exemption to the next three PGA Championship tournaments starting in 2018. The winner earns 600 FedEx Cup points, if a PGA Tour member.
As stated the 2019 Players Championship would include a $12.5 million purse, "the biggest prize professional golf has ever seen for a single tournament.
BTW, with the huge payouts it becomes a very important event in the WWFS TGN pool, missing out or doing badly in this one could cost you dearly in the season long prizes, so best to get in early with your best picks.
Final field is usually announced sometime after 5pm Friday on https://www.pgatour.com.
