The 2014 Players Championship was the 41st Players Championship, held May 8–11 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Martin Kaymer won his first Players, one stroke ahead of runner-up Jim Furyk.
The tournament was the first to feature a $10 million purse; the winner's share was $1.8 million.
With defending champion and world number one Tiger Woods out of competition due to back surgery in late March, four entered this Players Championship with an opportunity to ascend to the top of the world rankings. World number two Adam Scott needed a 16th-place finish, third-ranked Henrik Stenson a top-six finish, number four Bubba Watson a solo runner-up, and fifth-ranked Matt Kuchar a win. They finished at T38, T34, T48, and T17, respectively, and Woods remained number one.
This was the 33rd Players Championship held at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, and the first year for the new playoff format, a three-hole aggregate beginning on the 16th hole, which was not necessary. After a 90-minute rain delay late in the final round, Kaymer finished with a par in near-darkness. If he had bogeyed the final hole, the playoff would have been played on Monday morning.
This is the 33rd Players Championship held at the TPC Sawgrass, Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
