2023 Players Championship: Know how to watch on TV, stream online and more

The 2023 Players Championship has begun on Thursday morning at TPC Sawgrass with 44 of the top 50 players in the world competing in the PGA Tour’s signature event. This comes after a scorching hot stretch on the tour and a couple of tremendous designated events. The tournament takes place just under a month before major season starts with the 2023 Masters.

Rory McIlroy, who finished second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, is favored to win alongside Scottie Scheffler, with Jon Rahm following closely behind on the Caesars Sportsbook odds board. Although defending champion Cameron Smith will not be in attendance after joining LIV Golf, the two prior champions, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa, are among the top names in the field. However, Thomas needs to improve his recent inconsistent form if he hopes to win for the second time in three years.

While attending the Players is a dream for many, CBS Sports will bring the event’s wall-to-wall coverage to those who are watching from home or the office.

Will DeChambeau’s US Open win change golf? Rivals divided

US Open

Bryson DeChambeau has just won the American golfing tournament, with quite an unorthodox playing style, while players and spectators are wondering if the sport is on the cusp of revolution or if this is just a flash in the pan.

Unorthodox

What differentiates DeChambeau from the other winners of the tournament – from Woods to McIlroy – is his penchant for gaining distance rather than staying away from the rough.

Straight shot

DeChambeau’s quite unlike other golfers, choosing to bulk up – veering away from the spry frames of most golfers – and focusing on using brute force. It has certainly paid off, with DeChambeau jumping to fifth in the world ranking.

Humbling the course

With his approach to the game, DeChambeau became the first player since 1955 to win the US Open with the only sub-par score in the last round; during the course of the tourney, he only hit 23 fairways, instead choosing to slug it out in the rough.

Right way, wrong way

While DeChambeau’s style is certainly unorthodox, current and former players are all for it, with many touting it as an effective way of winning, even if it is not how they would play. DeChambeau’s scientific approach could be a new age for a game generally considered to be quiet and measured.
