The 2010 Players Championship was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour that was contested from May 6–9. It was the 37th Players Championship. Tim Clark won the tournament with a Sunday 67 for his first PGA Tour victory.
Two unusual events occurred during the Players Championship in 2010. For the first time in tournament history, a spectator was arrested and forcibly removed from the course. An intoxicated fan who was screaming and being disruptive refused to listen to course officials, who then called deputies. The man resisted arrest and was tasered. In a separate incident, hours after the first round had ended a car was discovered parked on the 8th green with two occupants inside and the motor running. When the driver refused to follow instructions, law enforcement was called. The green was not damaged and the couple was issued trespass warnings, then escorted off the course.
The 2010 Players Championship was the 29th held at the TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
The field consisted of 144 players meeting criteria 1–12, plus the winner of the 2009 Senior Players Championship.
