The Players Championship 2026: How the Ace Happened
Ramey, 33, hit the shot from 169 yards on the par-3 13th. His approach sailed over the front bunker and landed on the center of the green, where the ball gathered steam heading down the slope and rolled into the cup for the ace.
History and Context at TPC Sawgrass
PGA Tour Communications said Ramey’s ace was the 45th in the history of the Players Championship and the 41st at TPC Sawgrass. The most recent hole-in-one at the tournament before this came last year when Keegan Bradley aced the 13th during the final round.
The shot adds to the tournament’s notable moments at the par-3 13th, which has produced several of the event’s aces. Ramey’s first PGA Tour hole-in-one came in a high-visibility spot late in the final round, and the manner of the shot — over the bunker, landing in the center of the green and rolling down into the hole — was singled out in the tournament account of the play.
This hole-in-one stands as a confirmed, counted ace in the event’s record books and will be listed among other rare aces at TPC Sawgrass. The PGA Tour’s tally places it within a specific historical sequence of aces at the Players Championship and at this course.
Ramey’s ace is now part of the tournament’s recent lineage of dramatic short-hole moments, following the 13th-hole ace by Keegan Bradley during the previous year’s final round. The players championship 2026 entry for Ramey will be noted for both the shot’s execution from 169 yards and its place in the event’s ace history.
