Generally regarded as the “5th major”, the stage is set for the 2022 edition of THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass as 47 of the top 50 players in the world will be in action this week. With the largest prize purse ever of $3.6 million going to the winner, 2019 champion Rory McIlroy summed up what the tournament means by saying, "I wouldn't consider my career complete if I hadn't won a PLAYERS Championship."

Volatility is most definitely the word of the week. Golf is already the most volatile sport, and this week the game is being played on perhaps golf's most volatile course, TPC Sawgrass. On top of all that, we can sprinkle in some more volatility based on the miserable forecasted weather for the event.

The field contains 144 golfers this week with the top 65 and ties making it through the 36-hole cutline to play the weekend. The only top-50 players not scheduled to play are Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English, Kevin Na, and Phil Mickelson. Check out Ryan Noonan's Betting Card for his preview and best bets.
