The '''2019 T-1 Players Championship''' was the 2nd {{wp|T-1 Players Championship}}, held April 1-4, 2019 at {{wp|Whistling Straits Golf Course}} in {{wp|Kholer, Wisconsin}}, the first edition at the Straits Course. It was the first event of the {{wp|2019 T-1 Golf Tour}}, and the first {{wp|major}} of the season.  
The '''2020 T-1 Players Championship''' is the 3rd edition of the {{wp|T-1 Players}} and was originally scheduled as the first of the {{wp|T-1 Tour}}'s four major championships to be held in 2020. Originally scheduled for April 2–5 at {{wp|Baltusrol Golf Club}} in {{wp|Springfield, New Jersey}}, the tournament was postponed due to the ongoing {{wp|COVID-19 pandemic}}. On May 27, the T-1 Golf Federation announced the tournament would be held June 25–28.


The {{wp|T-1 Golf Federation}}, under the leadership of new President {{wp|Jonathan Rogers}}, announced on August 30, 2018 that the {{wp|T-1 Players Championship}} would become a {{wp|major championship}}, replacing the cancelled {{wp|T-1 Puerto Rico Open}}, which wasn't generating enough revenue, along with the destruction of the golf course during {{wp|Hurricane Irma}}.  
The first two years of the championship gained much attention from spectators and golf writers, who credit the event as the most prestigious on the T-1 Golf Tour, due to its large purse and consistently difficult venue choices. As of 2019, the T-1 Players Tournament has been named the {{wp|flagship}} event by the {{wp|T-1 Golf Federation}}, overtaking the {{wp|U.S. T-1 Open}}, which held the status since 1985.  


Frenchman {{wp|Benvolio Pagòn}} won the tournament with a 9-under par score, taking advantage of the final round collapse of 36 and 54-hole leader {{wp|Noram Lower}}. The win marks Pagòn's first professional golf win.  
Defending champion {{wp|Benvolio Pagòn}} is expected to make his 5th T-1 Tour major start. In those starts, he has accumulated one win and four top-25s. {{wp|2018 T-1 Players Championship|2018 champion}} {{wp|David Duval}} will also be in the field.

The T-1 Golf Federation announced on February 2, 2019 that they would be "significantly lengthening" the golf course for the tournament. Later in the month, President Jonathan Rogers announced that the 11th hole would be changed from a par 5 to a par 4, bringing in mixed reactions from the players. The hole will become the longest par 4 in T-1 tournament history, playing at just over 570 yards for each day of the tournament. 2001 {{wp|T-1 Augusta Invitational}} champion and 2-time Order of Merit champion {{wp|Noram Lower}} called the change "a sham to fair and balanced golf".


Tradtional T-1 major layouts have excessively-long par-70 setups. This year's championship will feature a 7,428 yard par-70 golf course. It will be the shortest course the event has been played on since its introduction to the circuit in 2018.

''Monday April 1, 2019''
''Thursday June 25, 2020'' <br>


The first round commenced with the first tee shot honor going to Frenchman and 2018 T-1 {{wp|Rookie of the Year}}, {{wp|Benvolio Pagòn}}. Pagòn held on to the lead for most of the day, being challenged only once after falling victim to the par-4 11th hole, which had a day one scoring average of 5.45, nearly a shot and a half over par, making it by far the hardest hole on the golf course. Conditions were more favorable than originally thought, seeing 9 players break par, including 2018 T-1 {{wp|Order of Merit}} winner {{wp|Norman Xi}}, {{wp|Tiger Woods}}, and the 2018 T-1 Players champion, {{wp|David Duval}}. Nearly 75 players were between 2-over and 5-over par, making it one of the densest field days of T-1 golf. As the day continued on, the golf course progressively played more difficult, with only two players in the afternoon breaking par, versus a much friendlier amount in the morning wave. 2001 {{wp|Augusta Invitational}} champion, {{wp|Noram Lower}}, who expressed his immense discontent with the golf course setup finished the day in solo 2nd place. After the round, he said he discredited the T-1GF and how they anticipated the setup for the golf course through the duration of the tournament. He also apologized for his harsh words to T-1 President {{wp|Jonathan Rogers}}.  
The 2020 T-1 Players Championship got underway in the morning hours of June 25, 2020. In the morning wave, scoring conditions were favorable for players to shoot low, and many did. As the day progressed, conditions toughened up, still heeding low scores for the day. {{wp|2019 T-1 Players Championship|2019 T-1 Players}} champion {{wp|Benvolio Pagón}} shot an opening round 67, good enough for a tie for fifth going into the second round. {{wp|David Duval}}, the {{wp|2018 T-1 Players Championship|inaugural T-1 Players}} champion, who closed out the 2018 event with a stunning 12-under 58, shot a 73, putting him in a tie for 96th at +3, failing to take advantage of the relatively forgiving scoring conditions. 19-time T-1 major champion {{wp|Trey Cranfield}} also failed to go low, settling for a 2-over 72, putting him in a tie for 88th place. {{wp|Marcus Smart}} and {{wp|Alexander Pierce}} set the pace for round one, both firing 5-under 65's. Neither Smart nor Pierce have ever held the lead in a T-1 major championship event. Pierce won the 2019 {{wp|T-1 McDonald's Open}} with a score of 262 (−26).

===Round 2===
===Round 2===
''Tuesday April 2, 2019''
''Friday June 26, 2020''


On day 2 of the tournament, players enjoyed much better scoring conditions, playing nearly five shots better than day one with an average of 69.78, just over one under par for the day. Overnight leader {{wp|Benvolio Pagòn}} got off to a strong start, birdieing his first three holes to take a four stroke lead over {{wp|Noram Lower}}. He quickly then fell off the pace, bogeying the 7th hole and making a quad on 11. He finished with a birdie on 18 to shoot a 1-under 70 for the second day, putting him in a tie for 7th place. Lower, who started the day one behind Pagòn got off to a much slower start, yet found his rhythm headed into the back nine, where he birdied the 10th and 11th holes, becoming the only player thus far in the tournament to birdie the two holes, and becoming only the third to birdie the 11th over the course of the two days. Notables such as {{wp|Trey Cranfield}} (+9), {{wp|Steve Scott}} (+6), {{wp|Fin Duberjakamj}} (+3), {{wp|Maxum Durocvich}} (+3), and {{wp|Henrik Ilgin}} (+2) all missed the 1-over cut-line.
The second day of the tournament continued to yield low scores. {{wp|Mike Weir}} of {{wp|Canada}}, the {{wp|2003 Masters Tournament|2003 Masters}} champion, carded the championship low round of 62 to jolt into the solo lead at 11-under par. Weir's 36-hole score of 129 is the lowest in championship history, surpassing {{wp|Noram Lower}}'s 135 in {{wp|2019 T-1 Players Championship|2019}}. Round one co-leader {{wp|Alexander Pierce}} continued his solid play, shooting a 4-under 66 to give him second alone at 9-under (131), two behind Weir headed into moving day. In a tie for third, {{wp|2017 T-1 Augusta Invitational|2017 Augusta Invitational}} champion {{wp|Syo Yin Yee}} carded a 64 in the second round to backup an opening 68.

===Round 3===
===Round 3===
''Wednesday April 3, 2019''
''Saturday June 27, 2020''


Day three of the tournament brought more tough conditions for the players, although not too evident on the first page of the leaderboard. Notables such as {{wp|Tiger Woods}} and {{wp|Norman Xi}} fell victim to the cross winds and speedy greens among others. The round three scoring average was 73.45 (+2.5). 36-hole leader Noram Lower did not falter in the tough conditions and easily soared to a 3-under 68 on the day, opening up a three shot gap between him and round one leader Benvolio Pagòn. Also in a tie for second is 2018 T-1 International Cup breakout Swede {{wp|Simon Coldnorg}}, who also found his way in the tough weather, firing a 68. The low round of the day went to {{wp|Idickson Lowell}}, who sat at -5 headed into the final round of the tournament.  
The third round of the tournament commenced around 9 am EST. As players made their way out onto the course, scoring was considered to favor low scores for moving day charges. {{wp|Alexander Pierce}} shot the lowest round of his T-1 career with a 6-under 64, giving him a three shot cushion headed into the final round of the championship. It is the first time Pierce has held a 54-hole lead in his T-1 career. {{wp|Marcus Smart}}, who held the co-lead with Pierce after the first round, shot a 5-under 65, to give himself a reasonable chance at catching Pierce on Sunday. 36-hole leader {{wp|Mike Weir}} was stationary most of the day, making 14 consecutive pars, starting at hole 2 and concluding on 16. He made a bogey at the first hole, and two closing birdies to finish with a 1-under 69, which wouldn't be enough to hold on to his lead as players continued to go low. {{wp|Blake Stone}} tied Weir's second round 62 on Saturday, jolting him from the back of the pack to within striking distance. In total, 63 players were in red figures at the conclusion of the third round, the most in tournament history.

===Round 4===
''Thursday April 4, 2019''
''Sunday June 28, 2020''
 
The final round began at 8:30am on April 4, 2019. As the early groups went out, it was noticed that scoring would then again be trouble to the later pairings. The scoring average for round 4 was 74.06 (+3.1), the second hardest of the week behind round 1 (75.20). Noram Lower, the 54-hole leader got off to a bumpy start, bogeying the first hole and allowing Benvolio Pagòn to close within one with a birdie at the first. Simon Coldnorg also pulled out a birdie at the first. Pagòn went on to birdie the second as well, tying Lower at the top. At the 5th hole, Coldnorg made eagle to pull ahead by one over the two.
 
As the final two pairings made the turn, Simon Coldnorg held a one shot lead over Benvolio Pagòn who had pared the remaining holes on outward nine. Noram Lower bogeyed 6, 7, and 9 to fall two behind the leaders. On 12, Coldnorg made a bogey to fall back into a tie with Pagòn at -8. By the time the leaders reached the 15th, {{wp|David Duval}} had closed the gap to 1 with a birdie at 17. Duval went on to bogey the 18th to finish at -6, or solo 4th.
 
Lower went on birdie 17 and 18 to finish at -8, a tie with Simon Coldnorg who hooked his drive off the 18th tee, where he was tied with Pagòn at -9. Coldnorg bogeyed the hole and Pagòn pared it, giving Pagòn his first T-1 major championship win, first T-1 Tour win, and first professional win in his career.

The 2020 T-1 Players Championship is the 3rd edition of the T-1 Players and was originally scheduled as the first of the T-1 Tour's four major championships to be held in 2020. Originally scheduled for April 2–5 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, the tournament was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On May 27, the T-1 Golf Federation announced the tournament would be held June 25–28.

The first two years of the championship gained much attention from spectators and golf writers, who credit the event as the most prestigious on the T-1 Golf Tour, due to its large purse and consistently difficult venue choices. As of 2019, the T-1 Players Tournament has been named the flagship event by the T-1 Golf Federation, overtaking the U.S. T-1 Open, which held the status since 1985.

Defending champion Benvolio Pagòn is expected to make his 5th T-1 Tour major start. In those starts, he has accumulated one win and four top-25s. 2018 champion David Duval will also be in the field.

Round Summaries

Round 1

Thursday June 25, 2020

The 2020 T-1 Players Championship got underway in the morning hours of June 25, 2020. In the morning wave, scoring conditions were favorable for players to shoot low, and many did. As the day progressed, conditions toughened up, still heeding low scores for the day. 2019 T-1 Players champion Benvolio Pagón shot an opening round 67, good enough for a tie for fifth going into the second round. David Duval, the inaugural T-1 Players champion, who closed out the 2018 event with a stunning 12-under 58, shot a 73, putting him in a tie for 96th at +3, failing to take advantage of the relatively forgiving scoring conditions. 19-time T-1 major champion Trey Cranfield also failed to go low, settling for a 2-over 72, putting him in a tie for 88th place. Marcus Smart and Alexander Pierce set the pace for round one, both firing 5-under 65's. Neither Smart nor Pierce have ever held the lead in a T-1 major championship event. Pierce won the 2019 T-1 McDonald's Open with a score of 262 (−26).

Round 2

Friday June 26, 2020

The second day of the tournament continued to yield low scores. Mike Weir of Canada, the 2003 Masters champion, carded the championship low round of 62 to jolt into the solo lead at 11-under par. Weir's 36-hole score of 129 is the lowest in championship history, surpassing Noram Lower's 135 in 2019. Round one co-leader Alexander Pierce continued his solid play, shooting a 4-under 66 to give him second alone at 9-under (131), two behind Weir headed into moving day. In a tie for third, 2017 Augusta Invitational champion Syo Yin Yee carded a 64 in the second round to backup an opening 68. Joining him were Nicholas Patterson and Darrell Pollard, neither of whom have held a position in the top 10 of a T-1 event after 54 holes. Patterson is playing in his second T-1 major, his first resulting in a DQ in the 2016 T-1 British Open. The other co-leader for round one, Marcus Smart settled for a 2-under 68, landing him in a tie for 6th place headed into Saturday. 2017 U.S. T-1 Open champion Cole Carllsson also found himself in the mix after firing a 5-under 65 in the second round, his best score in the second round of a major in his career. Defending champion Benvolio Pagón shot a 1-under 69 on Friday, which dropped him from joint fifth to a tie for 16th place. 2018 champion David Duval would fail to get any momentum before the weekend, settling for a missed cut and a tie for 99th place. He shot a 143 (+3). 19-time major champion Trey Cranfield settled for the same score as Duval, and missed his 5th consecutive cut in a T-1 major event.

Round 3

Saturday June 27, 2020

The third round of the tournament commenced around 9 am EST. As players made their way out onto the course, scoring was considered to favor low scores for moving day charges. Alexander Pierce shot the lowest round of his T-1 career with a 6-under 64, giving him a three shot cushion headed into the final round of the championship. It is the first time Pierce has held a 54-hole lead in his T-1 career. Marcus Smart, who held the co-lead with Pierce after the first round, shot a 5-under 65, to give himself a reasonable chance at catching Pierce on Sunday. 36-hole leader Mike Weir was stationary most of the day, making 14 consecutive pars, starting at hole 2 and concluding on 16. He made a bogey at the first hole, and two closing birdies to finish with a 1-under 69, which wouldn't be enough to hold on to his lead as players continued to go low. Blake Stone tied Weir's second round 62 on Saturday, jolting him from the back of the pack to within striking distance. In total, 63 players were in red figures at the conclusion of the third round, the most in tournament history.
