The 1992 Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held March 26–29 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach. It was the 19th Players Championship and was won by Davis Love III, four strokes ahead of runners-up Ian Baker-Finch, Phil Blackmar, Nick Faldo, and Tom Watson.[2][3][4]

Playing in his seventh consecutive event on tour,[5] top-ranked Fred Couples carded a course record 63 (−9) in the third round,[6] but followed it up with a 74 and finished eight strokes back.[2] He won the Masters two weeks later. Couples held the previous course record (64), set in the second round of his win in 1984.[7][8]

Defending champion Steve Elkington missed the 36-hole cut by two strokes.
