Who is playing at 2025 Players Championship field: No Tiger Woods, but Scottie Scheffler will headlines lineups at TPC Sawgrass

Karl Vilips waited until the last possible moment to snare the last possible spot in The Players Championship.

Vilips, a Stanford University graduate, native of Indonesia and a current Jacksonville resident by way of Perth, Australia, won the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday with a final-round 64 at the Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, P.R.

Tiger Woods has passed on his final chance to play in The Players Championship.

Woods' name was absent when the Players field was released shortly after 5 p.m. by the PGA Tour. It’s his final year of eligibility off his victory in the Masters in 2019.

Woods, an 82-time PGA Tour winner, 15-time major champion and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, won’t be eligible in 2026 unless he wins a PGA Tour event over the next 12 months, gets into the top 50 on the World Golf Rankings by the end of next year’s Cognizant Classic or finishes among the top-70 on the 2025 FedEx Cup points list.

Scottie Scheffler leads stout Players Championship field 2025

However, every other big PGA Tour star will be at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass when the Tour’s flagship event begins on March 13.

Scottie Scheffler shakes hands with chair members of the tournament at the 2024 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.

Led by two-time defending champion Scottie Scheffler, 2019 Players champion Rory McIlroy, two-time 2024 major champion Xander Schauffele and current FedEx Cup points leader Ludvig Aberg, the Players field includes 48 of the top-50 players on the world rankings and 86 of the top 100.

Also in the field will be past Players champions Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day, Si Woo Kim and Matt Kuchar as well as 97 of the top 100 players on the FedEx Cup points list through the Cognizant Classic.

When did Tiger Woods last play at TPC Sawgrass?

Wood has made 18 starts in The Players and has never missed a cut. He won in 2001 and 2013 and has five top-10 finishes.

He last played in 2019, tying for 30th.

Tiger Woods Expected Return Date & Tour Event.?

Woods is expected to play at the Masters April 10-13 at Augusta National, where he is a five-time champion.

Can anyone else get into The Players Championship field 2025?

The winner of the Puerto Rico Championship, if not otherwise eligible, can get into The Players Championship. The PRO is an opposite-field concurrent with the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The entire field at the Arnold Palmer, a PGA Tour signature event at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, is already eligible for The Players, except amateur Jackson Koivun.
