Due to lack of daylight, play was suspended at 6:30 pm EST Thursday with 21 players yet to complete their opening rounds.
Chad Ramey, ranked 225 in the Official World Golf Ranking and making his Players Championship debut, recorded a bogey-free round of 64 (8 under par) to take the first-round lead. He birdied the par-5 16th hole to tie for the lead, before hitting his tee shot on the 17th hole to within two feet, setting up another birdie and moving him atop the leaderboard.
Collin Morikawa also did not make a bogey in a seven-under par round of 65, that included an eagle on the par-5 second hole. He finished alone in second place, one stroke behind Ramey.
The top-three players in the world rankings: Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy; were drawn together, but only Scheffler made his way into the top-10 at the end of the round. After beginning his round with nine straight pars, Scheffler birdied three of his final four holes to finish at four-under par (68). Rahm did not make a birdie on his back-nine that included a bogey on the par-3 eighth hole, his 17th, finishing at one-under par (71). McIlroy, the 2019 champion, double-bogeyed his opening hole in a round of 76 (4 over par).
Hayden Buckley made a hole-in-one on the 17th during his round of 73 (1 over par).

Adam Svensson birdied the par-5 ninth hole, the last of his round, after getting a free drop from the hospitality tent on his second shot to finish off a five-under round of 67 and take a two-shot lead through 36 holes at nine-under.
Scottie Scheffler made three birdies on his back-nine and shot 69 (−3) to move into second place at seven-under. Christiaan Bezuidenhout shared the lead with Svensson when play was suspended but bogeyed two of his final three holes on Saturday morning to fall back to a share of third place at six-under, three behind.
Overnight leader Chad Ramey birdied two of his first three holes and led by as many as three shots early in his round before putting two balls in the water on the par-3 17th, leading to a quadruple-bogey. He ended up at five-under, four back, after a round of 75 (+3).
Jerry Kelly became the oldest player to make the cut in Players Championship history, surpassing Arnold Palmer, who had held the record for making the cut in the 1985 Tournament Players Championship at 55 years, 6 months and 19 days. Kelly was 56 years, 3 months and 16 days old.
The cut came in at 146 (+2), with 75 players making it to the weekend. Notables to miss the cut included 2019 champion Rory McIlroy, 2018 champion Webb Simpson, and 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick. World No. 1 Jon Rahm withdrew before the start of his second round due to illness.
Due to heavy rain and thunderstorms, play was suspended at 4:27 pm EST Friday. It was the second year in a row that the second round play was not completed on the Friday due to severe weather. The PGA Tour announced that play would resume on Saturday at 7:00 am, with the third round starting around 10:45, with players in groups of three, instead of the usual two, and commencing from both the first and tenth tees.

=Saturday, March 11, 2023
Scottie Scheffler moved into the lead with a birdie on his first hole followed by chipping in for eagle on the second. He made five more birdies during the rest of his round for a round of 65 (7 under par) which gave him a two-shot lead through 54 holes at 14 under par.
Min Woo Lee began his round by holing out from 112 yards on the first hole for an eagle. He joined Scheffler in the lead with a birdie on the 11th hole, then moved one ahead with another birdie on the 12th, before falling behind again over the final six holes. His round of 66 (6 under par) put him at 12 under par, two strokes behind Scheffler.
Aaron Rai made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole in a seven-under round of 65, moving him into a tie for fourth place. With Hayden Buckley in the first round, it marked the first time in Players Championship history two players had made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole in the same tournament.
Tom Hoge, who had made the cut on the number, set a tournament record with a round of 62; he made ten birdies during his round, ending with a 10-foot putt on the ninth hole, his last. He moved from a tie for 65th place at the start of the round up to a tie for eighth.
Second-round leader Adam Svensson was even-par on his round before a triple-bogey on the par-4 14th hole dropped him back to six-under and 14th place.
The scoring average for the round was 69.57, the lowest in Players Championship history.

After a birdie on the first hole by Min Woo Lee and a bogey by Scottie Scheffler on the third hole, the two players were tied for the lead at 13 under par. On the fourth hole, Lee made a triple-bogey having hit his third shot into the water; he dropped further behind as the round went on and finished in a tie for sixth at eight under par. Starting the day at five under par, Hideki Matsuyama was seven under par for his round through 13 holes, and one stroke behind at 12 under par, before he made a double bogey on the 14th hole; a further dropped shot on the final hole meant he finished at 9 under par, good enough for fifth place on his own.
Through the middle of the round, Scheffler made five consecutive birdies to reach 18 under par and open a six stroke lead over the rest of the field. He made one bogey and five pars over the closing six holes to finish with a round of 69 (3 under par), and at 17 under par, win his first Players Championship title by five strokes.
Tyrrell Hatton began the round nine shots off the lead, in a tie for 26th place; he was even-par on the front-nine before making seven birdies in taking 29 strokes to play the back-nine, tying the tournament record, for a round of 65 (7 under par) to finish alone in second place at 12 under par. Tom Hoge and Viktor Hovland finished with rounds of 70 and 68 respectively to finish tied for third place. Max Homa went birdie-eagle-birdie on the 10th, 11th and 12th holes to reach 10-under and move into a tie for second; after a run of pars, he made a double-bogey on the 17th hole after his tee shot found the water to fall back to eight under par. Finishing alongside Homa and Lee in a tie for sixth place were Cameron Davis, Im Sung-jae, David Lingmerth, Justin Rose and Justin Suh.
Alex Smalley made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole; the first time there had been three holes-in-one recorded at the same hole during a tournament in Players Championship history.

The 2023 Princess Auto Players' Championship was held from April 11 to 16 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, Ontario. It was the fifth Grand Slam event and final major of the 2022–23 curling season.
In the women's final, Sweden's Isabella Wranå won her first Slam title, defeating the World Champion Silvana Tirinzoni rink from Switzerland 6–5. In the game, Wranå took a commanding lead in the fourth end, making an open hit for three to take a 4–1 lead. Tirinzoni scored a single in the fifth, but Wranå replied by getting a deuce in the sixth. The Tirinzoni rink had a chance to score three in the seventh to even the gap, but fourth thrower Alina Pätz missed a split attempt, but did end up getting two, as at least her shooter rolled in the house to score. In the final end, Wranå only had to hit one Tirinzoni rock on her last to win the title.
In the men's final, Calgary's Kevin Koe rink, defeated Switzerland's Yannick Schwaller team 5–4, giving Koe his fifth Grand Slam title as a skip. Up 1–0 after the first, Koe missed a long raise takeout in the second, allowing Schwaller's last rock thrower Benoît Schwarz to draw for two. Schwaller went up 3–1 after Koe missed an angle raise double in the fourth. Koe made a hit and stick for one in the fifth, and Schwarz replied with a draw to the button in the sixth to go up 4–2. The seventh end was blanked, and in the eighth and final end, Koe with his clock in the single digits on his last rock, made a triple takeout to score three to give his team the win. Koe was in a similar situation in the semifinal, where he had to make a slash double against the Brad Gushue rink with only seconds on remaining on his clock. The game would be the last for Koe's second Bradley Thiessen who stepped back from the game.
Both Teams Wranå and Koe won $40,000 with their wins.
