No fans are allowed at THE PLAYERS Championships, but the show is going on. The field consisted of 144 golfers Thursday at TPC Sawgrass, but Louis Oosthuizen was forced to withdraw after suffering a shoulder injury early on. Most of the participants finished the first round before the event was suspended because of darkness. Here’s how things are shaking out so far.
Hideki Matsuyama is the favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook (+300) following round one. He notched a nine-under par performance and carded a 63, tying a course record. Patrick Cantlay (+1100) has the second best odds, despite being four strokes back and sitting in fifth place. Jon Rahm’s odds (+1100) are even with Cantlay’s, but he’s tied for 22nd at three-under par.
Harris English (+1400) is two strokes back from Matsuyama and tied for second place overall, but he has the fourth best odds to take home the hardware. Fifth place Marc Leishman (+1800) rounds out the top five on DraftKings Sportsbook. THE PLAYERS Championships will resume Friday morning at 7:40 a.m.
