Scottie Scheffler is going for the three-peat.
The top-ranked golfer in the world will look to make history by winning golf's flagship event for the third consecutive year when the Players Championship is held this week.
Unofficially golf's fifth major, the annual tournament at TPC Sawgrass draws the world's top players and offers the largest purse in golf. There will be 144 players in the field, including 48 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
The top three -- Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele -- will compete in the same featured group for the first two rounds of the tournament. With another victory, Scheffler would join Jack Nicklaus as the only golfers to have won three Players Championship titles.

Players Championship defending champion
Scheffler, who last year became the first ever to win back-to-back Players Championship titles, took home the $4.5 million prize last year. He shot a minus-8 in the final round to finish at minus-20 for a one-stroke victory over Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman, who each finished at minus-19.
Clark and Harman missed the cut heading into the week.
