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 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 59, 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).
