All active duty, retired, reserve and National Guard members can request complimentary tickets through the military identification system. They and one dependent can receive tickets Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as one competition day during the tournament. Those complimentary tickets include a $20 voucher for on-site food and non-alcoholic drinks.
Veterans have access to discounted tickets to The Players. Tickets purchased through the verification process will also include a $20 digital voucher for on-site food and non-alcoholic drinks.

“We are really excited to debut this new digital ticket system for military members, veterans and dependents and honor them on-site this year through a weeklong lineup of military appreciation offerings and initiatives,” said Players executive director Jared Rice. “We have a deep passion and commitment to supporting our military, veterans and their families, especially those who call Northeast Florida home.”
