It looked like the cut was going to fall right at one-under at the Players Championship for most of Friday, but there was a chance later in the day that two under was going to be the magic number. Ultimately it held at one and 72 players made the cut after taking 143 shots in two days at TPC Sawgrass.

There were nine players tied for the course record prior to the 2023 playing of the Players. Now there's two guys tied for the mark.

It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for players in the first round of the 2025 Players Championship. With TPC Sawgrass showing more teeth than expected, some competitors are forced to play catch-up to secure a weekend tee time while others will aim to position themselves for a charge over the second 36 holes.
