The Players has yet to produce a successful title defense; victories in consecutive years. Jack Nicklaus won three of the first five events, but in alternating years on different courses. Since moving to TPC Sawgrass in 1982, five players have won twice, but the shortest span between victories is six years ( Steve Elkington: 1991, 1997).
The defending champion has missed the cut ten times, most recently in 2021, and has not participated (for health reasons) on three occasions ( 1983, 1998, 2014 ). The most recent top-ten finish was in 2005, a tie for eighth place.
