Hello friends.

My name is Jacob and I have the wonderful privilege of guiding you toward all the great content CBS Sports has in the tank for you. We'll keep you up to date week after week on all the happenings both on and off the course on the PGA Tour and beyond.

Let's get into the (Florida) swing of things and take you inside the ropes at the Players Championship.

World No. 1 and defending champion Rory McIlroy is on an absolute heater heading into the Players. It's no surprise that he is the 7/1 favorite seeing as he's finished in the top-5, including a win, in his past seven PGA Tour starts. Can Rory close out and notch his second victory of the 2020 season? Check out Kyle Porter's top storylines to follow this week at TPC Sawgrass.

19 of the world's top 20 players will be in the field. That player missing? Tiger Woods. Big Cat's agent told ESPN, 'Back just not ready. Not concerning long term, just not ready.' How troubling is this for Tiger's 2020 Major hopes? Kyle Porter gives his take on whether or not it's time to press the panic button on the PGA Tour's biggest star.
