The 2011 Players Championship was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour contested from May 12–15 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It was the 38th Players Championship. The tournament was won by South Korean K. J. Choi, who defeated American David Toms on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to claim his first PGA Tour title since 2008.
Traditionally, the flag of the defending champion (2010 winner Tim Clark of South Africa) would fly at TPC Sawgrass over the Tournament of Champions. As a tribute to the recently deceased Seve Ballesteros, per Clark's request, the PGA Tour flew the Spanish flag in its place.
This was the 30th Players Championship 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 2010 Senior Players Championship.
