Marco Penge regresa a The Players Championship tras cinco años

El golfista inglés Marco Penge regresa al field de The Players Championship tras cinco años de ausencia, uniéndose a la alineación de 123 jugadores en TPC Sawgrass del 12 al 15 de marzo de 2026. El evento de 25 millones de dólares cuenta con Rory McIlroy defendiendo su título ante fuertes contendientes, tras el reciente anuncio del field.

Tras el reciente anuncio del field de 123 jugadores para el Players Championship 2026 —que incluye al campeón defensor Rory McIlroy, al bicampeón Scottie Scheffler y a siete campeones pasados—, el golfista inglés Marco Penge se prepara para un notable regreso tras perderse las últimas cinco ediciones. Penge llega en decente forma reciente, con dos top-20 en sus últimas diez salidas, destacando un T2 en el Genesis Scottish Open (13 bajo par). En sus últimos cinco eventos, promedia 0.571 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee, pero tiene problemas en -0.596 SG: Approach y -0.585 SG: Total. Las estadísticas de la temporada muestran fortalezas desde el tee (0.728 SG: Off-the-Tee, 3º; distancia de drive de 316.8 yardas, 11º), pero debilidades en otros apartados: -0.760 SG: Approach (150º), 64.81% GIR (150º), -0.538 SG: Putting (147º), 29.92 putts/ronda (158º) y 19.44% evitación de bogeys (166º). Ocupa el 98º puesto en puntos FedExCup con 76 acumulados (estadísticas hasta la semana del torneo). Mientras tanto, el campeón de 2021 Justin Thomas, reflexionando sobre su reciente actuación en el Arnold Palmer Invitational, busca una gran prestación entre los principales contendientes del field.
