The 2015 Players Championship was the 42nd Players Championship, held May 7–10 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and the 34th Players Championship held at the Stadium Course.
Rickie Fowler won the tournament, beating Kevin Kisner and Sergio García in a playoff.
Trailing by 5 shots with 6 holes to play, Fowler played the last 6 holes at 6-under-par, going birdie-par-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie to force a playoff. After the 3-hole aggregate playoff (holes 16–18) ended with Kisner and Fowler still tied, they returned to the 17th for sudden-death. Fowler put his tee shot to 5 feet on the island green 17th, and made birdie to win.
