The Players Championship is one of the most prestigious events in golf. Only 156 of the world’s top golfers are invited to play. In 2009, the winner received $1.7 million out of a $9.5 million purse. Players Championship winners also are granted invitations to that year’s U.S. Open and PGA Championship, three-year invitations to the Masters and British Open and a five-year exemption from qualifying for the PGA Tour. Qualifying criteria, set by the Professional Golfers’ Association, adjust yearly. This set of qualifications is for the 2010 championship.
