The 2004 Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held March 25–28 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the 31st Players Championship.

Adam Scott, age 23, held on for his second PGA Tour title, one stroke ahead of runner-up Pádraig Harrington, who started the final round five shots behind. With a two-shot lead on the 72nd hole, Scott put his approach shot in the water then sank a 10-foot (3 m) putt for bogey to win.[2][3]

Defending champion Davis Love III finished twelve strokes back, in a tie for 33rd place.

Scott was the youngest champion for thirteen years, until Kim Si-woo won at age 21 in 2017. Previously, it was Fred Couples, age 24 in 1984.
