The last time the 27-year-old was in action was at the recent 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational in Bay Hill, Florida, USA where he was crowned champion.
Scheffler is still placed at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings having first reached the position in March 2022.
Why Scheffler is among the favourites
The 2023 Best Golfer ESPY Award winner is coming into The Players Championship oozing with confidence after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational,
Thus far in 2024, Scheffler has recorded five top-10 finishes in five starts, including his triumph at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The former University of Texas student is currently number one in the FedExCup and he will be keen to consolidate his spot by winning The Players Championship.
"I just thought it was really hard. I mean, you just have to hit it so good around this place to play well," Scheffler said about The Players Championship's course, TPC at Sawgrass.
"and I think that's why you don't see the same winners every year is because it doesn't really suit one type of player. If you look at the golf course, No. 1 requires a fade (off the tee), No. 2’s a draw. Four is a fade, No. 5’s a fade, No. 7’s a draw.
"No. 9, you’ve got to hit a fade, then a draw; No. 10’s a draw, No. 12’s a draw, 13 is a draw. Then you get to No. 15, it’s a cut, 16 is a draw and 18 is a draw. It's very interesting how the course works like that, and so that's why … one guy just hasn’t figured this place out."
