Celebrate six days of world-class golf at THE PLAYERS Championship, the PGA Tour’s premier annual golf tournament, Tuesday, March 10 through Sunday, March 15, 2026. Located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, THE PLAYERS is hosted on the renowned and iconic golf course, TPC Sawgrass. It’s been one of golf’s most exciting events since 1974 – and it’s right in your backyard. While the full schedule for 2026 has yet to be released, practice rounds for the professionals are on Tuesday, March 10th and Wednesday, March 11th. The first round of competition kicks off on Thursday, March 12th, the second round on Friday and the third on Saturday. The final round of competition is on Championship Sunday, marking the end of the tournament, where the winner will take home $4.5 million of the $25 million purse prize. The pros playing in this year’s THE PLAYERS are some of golf’s biggest names, including Keegan Bradley and Brooks Koepka. Scottie Scheffler, 2025 PGA TOUR Player of the Year, current World No. 1, and two-time PLAYERS champion, will be back again this year to compete for the title. 

Not only known as a legendary golf tournament, THE PLAYERS hosts an array of local restaurants, food trucks, charming venues and so much more. Relax with the tournament’s signature cocktail, the “Sawgrass Splash,” and enjoy live entertainment and dedicated fan zones. Tickets range from $44 to $284 per day, depending on the day, with the Stadium Pass providing admission to the tournament grounds and golf course. With this pass, fans are just steps from the rope line. The Deck admission offers a vantage point of the approach shots, on the 16th and 18th Holes, and features comfortable seating indoors and out (with shade), televisions and complimentary beer, wine and soda. The Intracoastal Club admission is an exciting, new place to unwind, situated between Holes 12 and 13. This open venue has abundant televisions, high-top seating and upscale food and beverage available for purchase. If you have kiddos, two children (15 years of age and younger) receive free grounds admission with each ticketed adult. And if you’re in the military, THE PLAYERS offers complimentary and discounted ticket options for service members, veterans and their families.

To help celebrate local service members, THE PLAYERS will also be hosting Military Appreciation Day on Tuesday, March 10th. The Military Appreciation Day Ceremony will begin at 4:30 p.m. on the Island Green at the 17th Hole. Immediately following will be an epic concert, with three-time GRAMMY award winner Ludacris taking the stage! Admission to Ludacris’ concert is free with the purchase of Tuesday’s ticket, and a VIP Concert Experience ticket is also available, which includes all-day access to the grounds (beginning at 7:30 a.m.) and entrance into the hospitality venue from 3-7 p.m. The VIP ticket also includes food and beverage, full bar and hor d’oeuvres. The ceremony and concert are family-friendly.

And don’t forget about parking! Parking passes must be purchased in advance and are required for each day of the tournament. Parking passes are digital and no parking will be sold on-site. Rideshare services will be available, as well as complimentary bicycle and golf cart parking. Parking passes range from $24 to $54, which you can purchase here.
