As the final round of The Players Championship 2025 beckons, golfers and fans alike brace themselves for potentially tumultuous weather conditions at the iconic TPC Sawgrass. The venue has a history of weather-related interruptions, with the second round of the 2024 tournament falling prey to darkness, much to the dismay of the pros in the running. This year, the pristine golfing conditions of the first two rounds, marked by mild temperatures, gentle breezes, and a downpour of birdies, may be about to change drastically.
The local meteorologist, Steve Borkowski, and various other sources have forecasted turbulent weather for the weekend. Reports suggest gusts of up to 30 miles an hour and storms on Sunday could be on the horizon. Detailed analysis from GolfWeek and AccuWeather predict partly cloudy skies turning cloudy, with temperatures reaching up to 80 degrees, winds blowing at around 27 mph, and a high chance of rain and thunderstorms. However, it’s not all doom and gloom—the rainfall is anticipated to last only an hour, and by evening, the wind speed should decrease to 20 mph, with humidity also dropping to 76%.
Billy Horschel, who has been on the course for the last couple of rounds, hinted at the challenges the players could face due to weather conditions. The 27 mph wind and impending rainfall could significantly impact the players’ performance and potentially cause a shakeup on the leaderboard.
The final round of The Players Championship 2025 is thus shaping up to be a thrilling, unpredictable ride. Among those bracing for the gusty battle are some of the biggest names in the sport. Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Min Woo Lee, and Justin Thomas have all shown dominance in the field, but now they face what could be their toughest test yet at TPC Sawgrass.

Il percorso era già leggermente morbido durante i primi giri, anche con abbondante luce solare e minima umidità. Ora, i giocatori devono affrontare forti piogge e venti impetuosi, che potrebbero alterare drasticamente la traiettoria della palla. Colpi e putt calcolati saranno cruciali su green sempre più impegnativi. Le buche finali, 17 e 18, potrebbero rivelarsi particolarmente insidiose, poiché i giocatori fanno affidamento sulla secchezza dell’erba per imbucare la palla.
Mentre giocatori esperti come Rory McIlroy e Justin Thomas potrebbero fare affidamento sulla loro esperienza per affrontare la tempesta, golfisti meno esperti come Min Woo Lee e Akshay Bhatia potrebbero trovarsi di fronte a una battaglia in salita. Tuttavia, l’imprevedibilità del golf, specialmente in condizioni meteorologiche così difficili, rende tutto molto più emozionante.
Con l’attesa che cresce per il giro finale bagnato della The Players Championship 2025, le previsioni sono varie quanto il clima stesso. Chi si alzerà all’occasione e dominerà il campo in tali condizioni impegnative? Solo il tempo lo dirà.
