Defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler began with a 5-under round of 67, as did debutant Ludvig Åberg.

    Ryan Fox became the first player since records began to make back-to-back eagles at The Players Championship; doing so by scoring a three at the par-5 16th and a hole-in-one at the par-3 17th hole.[7][8]

    Saturday, March 16, 2024

    Xander Schauffele made seven birdies in a bogey-free round of 65 to take the 54-hole lead by one shot over Wyndham Clark.

    Brian Harman made five birdies on the back-nine to shoot the lowest round of the day with a 64 (–8) and climb up to third place at 15-under, two behind Schauffele; with second and third rounds of 65 and 64, respectively, Harman recorded the lowest two-consecutive-round total in Players history, with a 129. Maverick McNealy chipped in for birdie on the 14th to get within three of the lead, but he hit his second shot on the 16th into the water and made bogey. He finished at 13-under and in a tie for fourth place with Matt Fitzpatrick. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler was one-under on his round before finishing with three straight birdies to shoot 68 (–4) and move into sixth place.
