The 2019 T-1 Players Championship will be the 2nd T-1 Players Championship, to be held April 1-4, 2019 at Whistling Straits Golf Course in Kholer, Wisconsin, the first edition at the Straits Course. It is the first event of the 2019 T-1 Golf Tour, and the first major of the season.

The T-1 Golf Federation, under the leadership of new President Jonathan Rogers, announced on August 30, 2018 that the T-1 Players Championship would become a major championship, replacing the cancelled T-1 Puerto Rico Open, which wasn't generating enough revenue, along with the destruction of the golf course during Hurricane Irma.

Straits Course

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 T-1 Augusta Invitational champion and 2-time Order of Merit champion Noram Lower called the change "a sham to fair and balanced golf".
