Thomas entered the 2022 Players Championship as one of the favorites in the field, alongside Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy. Rahm is the No. 1-ranked player in the world, with Morikawa behind him at No. 2.
A competitive field is playing for a massive purse, the largest in golf history. While the winner of this event won’t get the bragging rights one of the four majors provides, the payout should be well worth it.

Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa are some other frontrunners among the field.

After rain on Thursday and Friday caused Round 1 to extend into Saturday, the Players Championship appears set for a Monday finish.
Play at TPC Sawgrass was suspended because of darkness Sunday at 7:32 p.m. ET. None of the 71 golfers who made the cut had finished Round 3, which began at 3:15 p.m. following the completion of Round 2.
The Players Championship has had seven Monday finishes before 2022, most recently in 2005.
