The Players 2026 tee times: Full groupings and UK start times for second round of PGA Tour event at TPC Sawgrass

Groupings and tee times for the second round of The Players, the PGA Tour's flagship event held at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

Maverick McNealy, Lee Hodges, Sepp Straka and Sahith Theegala shared the clubhouse lead after the opening day, with Austin Smotherman also on five under with one hole of his first round to complete.

Former Players champion Justin Thomas made a strong start and FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood is also within in the early lead, with Rory McIlroy among the early starters on Friday morning as he looks to bounce back from his opening-round 74.

McIlroy resumes at 8.52am (12.52pm UK time) alongside Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele, while Scottie Scheffler is in the afternoon wave as he looks to build on a level-par 72 and win the event for a third time in four years.
