The 2005 Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held March 24–28 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the 32nd Players Championship.

Fred Funk became the oldest champion at age 48, one stroke ahead of runners-up Luke Donald, Tom Lehman, and Scott Verplank.[1] Because of numerous weather delays, the second round was completed on Sunday, the third on Monday morning,[2][3] followed by the final round.[1] Funk played 32 holes on Monday in blustery conditions.

Defending champion Adam Scott finished four strokes back, in a tie for eighth place.
