Justin Thomas shot a 10-under-par round of 62 in the second round of The Players Championship, tying the TPC Sawgrass course record.

Rory McIlroy continues to sit on the front page of the leaderboard, but TPC Sawgrass still finds ways to put its claws into him at The PLAYERS Championship.

Forty-eight of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are in the field as the PGA Tour holds the 51st edition of the Players Championship, tournament officials revealing the field on Friday afternoon.

Moving Day at the 2025 Players Championship has arrived, and with it comes a number of star-studded pairings. Golfers will need to keep their games in order around TPC Sawgrass as an uptick in wind and a spicy golf course will give them everything they can handle as they aim to position themselves for final-round contention.

As first alternate at the 51st Players Championship, the 29-year-old PGA Tour rookie who has lived in Jacksonville area for five-and-a-half years assumed getting into the event on Thursday would be a long shot;

A day after he barely broke 80, Justin Thomas nearly broke 60. The 2021 champion at TPC Sawgrass has put his name next to another entry in the record books as he recorded a 10-under 62 in the second round of the 2025 Players Championship to tie the course record.

In 42 years at Sawgrass, that's an average of 24 golf balls going splash down each tournament. The field of 144 will hit about 430 tee balls on the 17th hole over the course of four days in 2026, so expect about five percent of this year's tee shots to end up in the drink.
