Alex Hunter provides his top golf bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for the 2026 PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The PLAYERS Championship features a $25 million purse and will be held at the par-72, 7,352-yard TPC Sawgrass course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Hunter highlights bets on Ludvig Åberg and Adam Scott as his top picks for the event.

Why it matters

The PLAYERS Championship is one of the most prestigious events on the PGA Tour, featuring the largest purse of the season at $25 million. TPC Sawgrass is a challenging course that has hosted the event since 1982, making it a key stop on the PGA Tour calendar.

The details

Ludvig Åberg, a two-time PGA Tour winner, has been playing well lately with three straight top-20 finishes in big events. Åberg lives in Ponte Vedra Beach and plays TPC Sawgrass often, which should be an advantage. Adam Scott, a 14-time PGA Tour winner, is also playing well with four top-12 finishes in his last seven starts. Scott has won at TPC Sawgrass before and has an impressive track record at the course.

What they’re saying

“Aberg's season got off to a rough start. After withdrawing from the American Express with an illness following the second round, he missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open the next week. However, Aberg has turned a corner since, improving in each of his last three starts, finishing T-37, T-20 and T-3.”

“Scott is playing well right now and overdue for a win. The 14-time PGA TOUR winner has made 14 cuts in a row worldwide and four of his last seven have been top-12 finishes. While gaining strokes both on approach and with his putter, Scott has finished fourth at the Genesis Invitational and T-11 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in his last two starts.”
