The 2020 T-1 Players Championship will be the 3rd T-1 Players Championship, originally scheduled to be held April 2-5, 2020 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, the first edition at the Lower Course. It will be the first event of the 2020 T-1 Golf Tour, and the first major of the season. On March 16, the T-1 Golf Federation announced the postponement of the event in response to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic. The new date for the tournament has not been announced, but T-1 President Darren Tridle said the T-1GF is trying to have the event played sometime in the summer.
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.
