The Players 2024: Ranking favorites, contenders, hopefuls

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The PGA Tour finally got what it wanted at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill this past week -- a loaded leaderboard and familiar winner.

Scottie Scheffler won for the first time in nearly a year, capturing the API for the second time in three years for a 5-stroke victory. It was the largest victory at Bay Hill Club & Lodge since Tiger Woods in 2012.

Now, Scheffler will try to defend his title at the 50th Players Championship, the circuit's signature event.

Rival LIV Golf League players aren't the only ones who won't be teeing it up at TPC Sawgrass this week.
