Intro:

The Players Championship will get under way at TPC Sawgrass on Thursday with a $10 million purse, the biggest in professional golf.

Two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson hasn't had much luck here, but is definitely embracing the limelight his green jacket affords.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Bubba Watson:

"You know, I'm a big NBA fan, so LeBron James sent me a DM on Twitter. So it was pretty funny, I wrote back to him through Twitter, I said, you know, I saw you on a cell phone commercial, so you can just text me if you want to give me your number. We don't have to Tweet each other. So he DM'd me his number back, so I've texted with him. Obviously, that's a big deal for me. Kevin Durant, since the win, Kevin Durant, I've communicated with Kevin Durant through text message. That was pretty cool, to be able to talk to them and stuff."
