The 1999 Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held March 25–28 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the 26th Players Championship.
David Duval won his only Players Championship, two strokes head of runner-up Scott Gump. The victory moved him to number one in the Official World Golf Ranking, ahead of Tiger Woods, who finished six strokes back in a tie for tenth place.
Duval's father Bob, age 52, won the same day at the Emerald Coast Classic near Pensacola for his first victory on the Senior Tour. Both led entering the final round.
Duval's winning score of 285 (−3) remains the highest at the Stadium Course, the venue since 1982. The lowest is 264 (−24) by Greg Norman in 1994.
Defending champion Justin Leonard finished nine strokes back, in a tie for 23rd place.

The 1999 GMC World Curling Tour Players' Championship, the championship of the men's World Curling Tour (WCT) for the 1998-99 curling season was held March 17–21, 1999 at the Max Bell Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The total purse for the event was $150,000 with $20,000 going to the winning team, plus $1,000 per win and $250 per loss.
Ontario's Team Wayne Middaugh went undefeated en route to Middaugh's third tour championship title, and second as a skip. The team defeated the Russ Howard rink (also from Ontario, but with Howard living in New Brunswick) in the final, 9–5. The victory was helped by a three-ender in the third after Howard missed both of his draws, giving Middaugh an easy draw to take a 4–2 lead up to that point. In the fifth, Howard attempted to tie the game with a tap-back for two, but his rock hit a guard, resulting in a steal of one for Middaugh, who took a 5–2 lead. Middaugh did not look back from there. With the win, he took home $25,000 for the week, and Howard won $19,250.
The event was well attended, with over 18,000 spectators in total, a record for the WCT at that point. It was said more people were turned away from the sold-out final than had attended the entire event in 1997, which was held at Winnipeg's Granite Club.
Games were played in eight ends, instead of the usual ten so that all the games could fit into the schedule to accommodate the playoffs, which would be shown on television. This drew criticism from some of the teams, who preferred 10 ends. The semifinals were shown on CTV Sportsnet, and the final was shown on CTV. The semis and the final were played in 10 ends.
Teams
The event included the top 20 teams in the world, plus three European teams. Sweden's Peja Lindholm rink was the sponsor's exemption, after Mike Harris turned it down. Another notable missing team was Ed Werenich.
