Elliott Heath
The Players Championship is the PGA Tour's flagship tournament and one of the biggest in world golf - commonly referred to as the men's game's unofficial fifth Major.
The event at TPC Sawgrass features the best of the best from the PGA Tour, who are battling it out to win the huge $4.5m first prize and earn some of the other incredible perks of winning The Players Championship.
The Ponte Vedra course is one of the toughest tests faced all year, so even making the cut is an accomplishment for pros who haven't quite got their 'A' game.
What does it take to make the weekend?
The 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass could dictate whether or not some players make the cut
A cut at the halfway stage is becoming more of a rarity among the most prestigious tournaments on the PGA Tour, with five of its lucrative Signature events now no-cut affairs.
That’s not the case at The Players Championship, though, which has kept a cut at the 36-hole stage.
Players Championship cut rule
In total, 144 players will compete at the 2025 tournament, with the top 65 and ties progressing to the weekend’s action and the chance to claim a big payday.
This is the PGA Tour's usual cut rule, with The Players Championship cut historically tending to be somewhere between level-par to four-over-par depending on conditions.
While the player who ultimately lifts the trophy has played some unbelievable golf, the first priority will be ensuring they are still in with a chance after 36 holes on Friday evening.
