Canadians in the Field: Who to Watch
Six Canadians will tee it up at TPC Sawgrass, each hoping to make their mark on one of golf’s biggest stages. Here’s a closer look at the Canadian contingent:
- Nick Taylor (World No. 27)
- The Abbotsford, B.C., native is the only Canadian to win on the PGA Tour this season, claiming victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii. With four PGA Tour wins under his belt, Taylor’s aggressive putting and consistent play make him a contender.
- Corey Conners (World No. 30)
- Conners, from Listowel, Ontario, is in stellar form heading into The Players. With a solo third-place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T5 at The Sentry, his precision ball-striking could shine at TPC Sawgrass.
- Taylor Pendrith (World No. 41)
- The Richmond Hill, Ontario, native brings power off the tee and a growing confidence. Pendrith’s ability to attack long holes could give him an edge this week.
- Mackenzie Hughes (World No. 69)
- Known for his clutch putting, Hughes from Dundas, Ontario, is a dark horse to watch. His best finish at The Players was T-16 in 2021.
- Adam Hadwin (World No. 75)
- The Abbotsford, B.C., veteran has a strong track record at TPC Sawgrass, including a T-8 finish in 2021. His experience and iron play could propel him into contention.
- Adam Svensson (World No. 151)
- The Surrey, B.C., native is looking to build on his T-13 finish from 2023. Svensson’s all-around game makes him a sleeper pick.
- Ben Silverman (World No. 174)
- Making his debut at The Players, Silverman from Thornhill, Ontario, is a grinder with the potential to surprise.
