The Players Championship begins Thursday at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, with weather playing a major role. Rain is expected Thursday and Sunday with wind gusts up to 20 mph daily. Our top betting picks include Si Woo Kim at +2500 to win outright — he's the youngest Players Championship winner ever. For a top 5 finish, we're backing Ludvig Aberg at +520 after his strong recent form, and Brooks Koepka at +4500 is our long-shot pick after returning to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf. Weather conditions favor accurate, wind-tested players at TPC Sawgrass's challenging layout, especially on the famous island green at the par-3 17th hole.
