The final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational isn't even in the books, but it's not too early to look ahead to the Players Championship.
On Sunday, the PGA Tour announced a pair of featured groups for the 51st edition of the Players, which begins Thursday at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Rory McIlroy, who withdrew Saturday before the third round of the API with a back injury, is among those in featured groups for the first two rounds, playing alongside Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama.

Tee times for the two groups likely won't be announced until Tuesday, when the entire first round tee times and groupings will come out.
The PGA Tour's marquee event doesn't start for four more days, yet fans already have something to look forward to.
