The Tournament Players Championship was a European Tour golf tournament which was played in either England or Scotland each year from 1977 to 1984. Except in the first two years the official name took the form "[Sponsor's name] TPC".

"Tournament Players Championship" was also the original name of the PGA Tour's Players Championship, which is the richest event on that tour, but in Europe the TPC tag has been applied variously to this British event and to otherwise unrelated events in Germany, the Deutsche Bank Open TPC of Europe, and in Portugal, the Portuguese Open TPC, and does not confer any particular status. Indeed, the British event had somewhat below average prize money for a European Tour event.

Winners of the Tournament Players Championship included two major champions, Nick Faldo of England and Bernhard Langer of Germany.
