A year ago, the PGA Tour shut down amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the first round of THE PLAYERS Championship, the Tour halted play and postponed the season until a June restart. A year later, we’re back at TPC Sawgrass for arguably the most prestigious non-major tournament on the calendar.
Dustin Johnson is the favorite to win at DraftKings Sportsbook, installed at +1200. Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are next at +1500, followed by Rory McIlory at +1600, and Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas at +2000.
While DeChambeau has the most Tour wins this season, Johnson is on a roll. He only has one win toward FedExCup points, but he has three tournament wins since the 2020-2021 season got underway. He won the 2020 Masters that was rescheduled for November, then claimed the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January, and followed with a European Tour win in early February at the Saudi International. He then finished second at The Genesis Invitational and fourth at the WGC-Workday Championship.
A year ago, Hideki Matsuyama finished the first round of THE PLAYERS Championship with a two stroke lead at -9. Harris English, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, and Si Woo Kim followed him at -7 for the round. That leaves 2019 champion Rory McIlroy as the reigning defending champ at TPC Sawgrass.
