Justin Thomas, who charged on Friday in the Players Championship with a record-tying 62, spoke a lot after the second round about his attitude and focus. On Saturday, that will be heavily put to the test as the wind howls at TPC Sawgrass.

There were nine players tied for the course record prior to the 2023 playing of the Players. Now there's two guys tied for the mark.

The stars are out bright and early Thursday morning for the first round of the 2025 Players Championship. Featuring a full field of 144 players, the PGA Tour's flagship event has many of those big names playing alongside one another across the first two days at TPC Sawgrass.
