The 2001 Players Championship was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour, held March 22–26 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the 28th Players Championship.
Tiger Woods won the first of his two Players Championships, one stroke ahead of runner-up Vijay Singh. Because of bad weather, the tournament was completed on Monday, March 26. In the final pairing with 54-hole leader Jerry Kelly, Woods played the final nine holes on Monday.
Woods had won the previous three majors in 2000; he won the Masters Tournament two weeks later to hold all four major titles at once, the Tiger Slam, as well as this Players, an unofficial "fifth major." He won his second Players a dozen years later in 2013.
This was the 20th Players Championship held at the TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course; its 2001 setup measured 7,093 yards (6,486 m).
