The third round of the 2025 Players Championship begins Saturday, March 15, at iconic TPC Sawgrass. Full Players Championship tee times for Saturday’s third round won’t be determined until the end of Round 2. Once they are released, they will be reproduced at the bottom of this post. Until then, we can estimate what the Round 3 tee times will be.

We won’t know the exact Saturday tee times for this year’s Players Championship until after the final putt drops on Friday evening at TPC Sawgrass. But in the meantime, we can get a good idea of what the tee times will be by looking to the past.

At last year’s Players, the third round kicked off Saturday at 8:25 a.m. ET when David Lipsky teed off alone on the 1st tee. Wyndham Clark and Xander Schauffele shared the final pairing, teeing off at 2:40 p.m. ET. We can expect this year’s Round 3 tee times to fall into a similar window.

We also know that, barring any inclement weather, players will tee off in pairings on Saturday, with those who narrowly made the cut teeing off first and the leaders starting Round 3 last.

You can watch the third round of the Players Championship on NBC from 2-7 p.m. ET on Saturday. You can also stream exclusive online coverage via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ starting at 8 a.m. ET, while Peacock will offer a live simulcast of NBC’s coverage.
