The 2009 Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held May 7–10 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the 36th Players Championship.

Henrik Stenson shot a bogey-free 66 in the final round to win at 276 (−12), four strokes ahead of Ian Poulter.[1][2] Alex Čejka led by five strokes after the third round,[3] but went out in 42 and finished in a tie for ninth.[4][5] Stenson was the third European to win the title, after Sergio García the previous year and Sandy Lyle in 1987.

Due to 83 players making the halfway cut (top 70 and ties), a second cut was initiated after the third round.

Defending champion Sergio García finished ten strokes back, in a tie for 22nd place.

Alex Čejka held a five-shot lead entering the final round,[3] but quickly faltered with a six-over front nine and slumped to a closing 79. This opened the door for many, and Henrik Stenson pulled clear with a bogey-free 66 for a four-stroke victory.[1][4][5]
