Play at The Players Championship will resume at noon ET on Saturday.
Rain forced the postponement of the first round on Thursday, with Friday’s second round washed out because of unplayable course conditions at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The area saw three inches of rain over a 36-hour period.
The PGA Tour said crews started at 4:30 a.m. Saturday to get the course ready.
