Last updated: Tuesday 8th March<\/em><\/p>\n Rahm is the world No.1 and once again the man to beat at The Players Championship.<\/p>\n He finished up with a career-best T9 in 2021 and has improved in each year he has featured at the tournament since 2017.<\/p>\n Thomas is the reigning champion at TPC Sawgrass having triumphed in 2021.<\/p>\n The seasoned star also finished T3 in 2016 and remains an ever-present threat to his competitors in key golf championships.<\/p>\n Morikawa enjoyed a -4 opening round \u2013 which placed him in T7 \u2013 during the cancelled 2020 tournament but disappointed with T41 in 2021.<\/p>\n Overall, he has enjoyed a terrific couple of years with victories in the PGA Championship and The Open in the COVID era and remains a contender here.<\/p>\n McIlroy has a love-hate relationship with The Players Championship. He has missed the cut on five occasions and reached the top eight on four occasions, including one victory in 2019 and a cut in 2021.<\/p>\n He isn\u2019t coming into this tournament in particularly strong form in terms of major tournaments, but he will be determined to turn the tide here.<\/p>\n 2021: Justin Thomas<\/p>\n 2020: Not finished<\/p>\n 2019: Rory McIlroy<\/p>\n 2018: Webb Simpson<\/p>\n 2017: Si Woo Kim<\/p>\n 2016: Jason Day<\/p>\n 2015: Rickie Fowler<\/p>\n 2014: Martin Kaymer<\/p>\n 2013: Tiger Woods<\/p>\n 2012: Matt Kuchar<\/p>\n 2011: KJ Choi<\/p>\n 2010: Tim Clark<\/p>\n 2009: Henrik Stenson<\/p>\n 2008: Sergio Garcia<\/p>\n 2007: Phil Mickelson<\/p>\n 2006: Stephen Ames<\/p>\n 2005: Fred Funk<\/p>\n 2004: Adam Scott<\/p>\n 2003: Davis Love III<\/p>\n 2002: Craig Perks<\/p>\n 2001: Tiger Woods<\/p>\n 2000: Hal Sutton<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our TV Guide<\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
