I’m going to start doing this for BIG EVENTS (non-major editions too).
Unless I forget.
Or don’t want to.

2019 PLAYERS Championship |
|
| Status |
144 contestants – From Worst to First |
| DQ | Wyndham Clark: Rookie came in on fire (T7, T10) but signed an incorrect score card in Round 1. |
| WD | Cameron Champ: Rookie hit it all over the shop before calling it a day with a peristent bad back. |
| WD | J.J. Spaun: Completed 18 holes, shot 76 and then didn’t give a reason for not continuing. Bad in our business. |
| 9-over | Kiradech Aphibarnrat (T23 at API; T3 WGC-MEX) 84-69 dug a hole too deep. Nice bounce-back but too little too late. |
| Rafa Cabrera Bello: T3 last week, T25 or better in six straight (TOUR); T17, T4 last two trips to Sawgrass = shocker | |
| 8-over | Michael Kim: His win at JDC last summer gives him plenty of time to figure it out. MC in all six 2019 events. |
| Paul Casey: Entered on T3, T25 and 2nd but his feast or famine career here continues; now MC in 8 of 12. | |
| Danny Lee: Red-hot beginning cooled in ’19 as T41 is the best of the bunch; T7 last year in May didn’t translate. | |
| Charley Hoffman: MC in 4 of 6 heading in and only one top 25; one top 25 in 13 starts now at Sawgrass. | |
| 7-over | Adam Hadwin: Sick this week, past winner at Valspar; streak of 3 in a row ends here. |
| Andrew Putnam: Solo second at Sony followed by 3 MC from 5 with nothing inside T34; tough debut. | |
| 6-over | Brandon Harkins: Opened 69 and followed with 81 so somewhere in the middle is the answer; T26 is best in ’19. |
| Harold Varner III: Led the field with 25 birdies last year; now MC, T7, T35 and T57 in the last four years. Trended. | |
| Grayson Murray: His last top 25 was Valero last April. | |
| Satoshi Kodaira: Defends at Harbour Town but MC in 4 of 6 in ’19 with T51 best of the bunch. | |
| Zach Johnson: Just his second MC in 15 tries so this one stings. | |
| John Huh: Played 13 this season MC in 9. | |
| 5-over | Bronson Burgoon: MC in 8 of 9 after solo second at CIMB. |
| Vijay Singh: Just goes to show you how incredible he was at Honda. | |
| Charl Schwartzel: Bizarre pattern of WD or big finish crashed this week; only top 25 in 9 tries here was T2 last year. | |
| 4-over | Phil Mickelson: Nope, not even you could fix him or his record here. Trust the numbers. |
| Kevin Tway: MC in 5 of his last 6 in ’19 | |
| Danny Willett: Rattled off three straight before MC at API last week. Bermuda allergy? | |
| Ted Potter, Jr.: Nice start in Hawaii has cooled as he’s MC last 4 of 5. | |
| Lucas Glover: Top 10’s in three straight including the last two on Bermuda makes this a total shocker. | |
| Scott Brown: Made three straight before 78-76 at Bay Hill and 73-75 this week. Savage volatility. | |
| Tyrrell Hatton: Entered with 3 of 4 T30 or better but he’s never broken 70 in 3 tries at Sawgrass. | |
| Sam Saunders: No top 25 this season. | |
| Aaron Baddeley: Sawgrass the cooler for this heat check; MC in 6 of last 7. | |
| 3-over | Peter Uihlein: WD at WMPO and Honda; T60 best result of ’19. |
| Austin Cook: Reverse #NappyFactor | |
| Talor Gooch: All-or-nothing so enjoy the ride if you subscribe. Hardly a surprise with young dudes. | |
| Shane Lowry: Won and T12 in Middle East; North America has produced MC, T62 (no-cut), MC and MC this week. | |
| Stewart Cink: 11 makes, 9 misses at Sawgrass. Hasn’t found the form of 2018 this season. | |
| 2-over | Harris English: Made 29 pars and didn’t make the cut. Not snowman season, sadly. |
| Alex Cejka: Made 7 of 9 here career including his last three; Now 7 of 10. | |
| Ryan Armour: Now MC in 6 of 8 but the other two are top 25’s. | |
| Patrick Cantlay: Four doubles. Yikes. Massive surprise. | |
| Chesson Hadley: Continued his every-other-year trend (MC, T24, MC, T11 and MC ’19). | |
| Ryan Blaum: Rattle off three straight with a season-best T17 at API prior. | |
| Martin Laird: Disappointing winter for annual course horse in multiple events; no top 25 in ’19. | |
| Alex Noren: You let me know when I should pay attention again. I have no idea what’s wrong here but it’s bad. | |
| Brian Stuard: Streak of six in a row crashes out. I’m back on board next time out. | |
| 1-over | Nick Watney: Made 4 of 5 in ’19 but nothing inside T39. |
| Sam Ryder: Made five straight with T33 best last week at API. | |
| Aaron Wise: Plenty of talent requires patient invetors. | |
| Ryan Palmer: 63 on Sunday at Honda didn’t carryover. Solid record at Sawgrass makes this disappointng as well. | |
| Jordan Spieth: He exclaimed he’s found his putter and it’s “back”. It isn’t until it is but I hear you, brah. | |
| Henrik Stenson: 2 caddies and T17 last week. One caddie and MC this week. | |
| Russell Henley: Recent momentum didn’t carry but that’s clutching for straws. Quiet season at best so far. | |
| J.B. Holmes: There is no REQUIREMENT to kick-on after winning. MC X 2 for Holmes. | |
| Dominic Bozzelli: Usually makes for a great wild card in deep formats but not at Sawgrass. | |
| Chez Reavie: Solid ’19 has cooled on tough Riviera, Bay Hill and Sawgrass (MC, T65, MC) | |
| Even | Scott Stallings: Big finish at Pebble (3rd) has been the exception, not the rule. |
| Kevin Streelman: His annual top 10 at Pebble is it this season. | |
| Haotong Li: 76-80 last year followed by 69-75 this year. | |
| Marc Leishman: Ended his T3-best streak on TOUR with 16 made cuts. | |
| Xander Schauffele: 11 straight makes now over. Didn’t have a result outside T25 in ’19. Tough break. | |
| Brendan Steele: False hope with T17 last week and 68 to open. MC in 6 of 11 this season. | |
| Sungjae Im: Not even an ace could push him into the weekend. Tons of talent to drive gamers mad. | |
| Trey Mullinax: Streak of 7 straight busted but playing solid week-to-week | |
| Beau Hossler: Not sure if Bermuda is his favorite. Nothing spectacular, just solid 2019, 5 top 40’s. | |
| Kyle Stanley: Opened 2019 with T22 and has followed with MC in 6 of 7. | |
| Troy Merritt: First event since Sony and missed by a shot. Missing part of a rib as well and now back playing. | |
