Four-time Super Bowl champion and FanDuel partner Rob Gronkowski, surprised PGA Tour fans Tuesday afternoon, March 11, at TPC Sawgrass as the best golfers in the world descended upon the world-class venue for the 2025 PLAYERS Championship.
Gronkowski spent time with PGA Tour players and FanDuel ambassadors Will Zalatoris and Jordan Spieth at THE PLAYERS Championship where the golfers offered him some tips to improve his game. Gronkowski is a FanDuel ambassador who appears in various FanDuel content, including the Kick of Destiny franchise, as well as content that promotes responsible play.
Taking it one step further, Gronkowski caddied for PGA Tour fan favorite Will Zalatoris during his practice round. The former tight end was tasked with everything a caddie is responsible for during competition play, from choosing the right club to reading putts and raking bunkers. After Gronk’s caddie duties were over, the tables were turned, and it was the 11-year NFL veteran’s turn to tee it up on the iconic Island Green 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass.
THE PLAYERS Championship annually combines the strongest field in golf with the world-class venue that is the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. With a purse of $25 million for the 2025 event, the tournament will take place Thursday through Sunday and will be broadcast across ESPN+, Golf Channel and NBC.
Two-time defending PLAYERS Champion and current World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will return to TPC Sawgrass with an eye on a third consecutive victory, which would be the first on the PGA Tour since 2011.
