How to watch Players Championship on Saturday
Fans can expect some fireworks on Saturday at the Players Championship, where PGA Tour stars will be jostling to get into position for a victory worth $4.5 million.
Leading the way is two-time Tour winner Ludvig Aberg. Aberg came one short of the TPC Sawgrass course record in Round 2, settling for a 63 that vaulted him into the lead at 12 under.
Two-time majaor winner Xander Schauffele is his closest pursuer. Schauffele fired a 65 on Friday to get within two shots of Aberg.
Plenty of other stars are in the mix heading into the weekend, including Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Brooks Koepka.
