Scottie Scheffler defied a neck injury and a record five shots deficit in the final round to become the first player to successfully defend the Players Championship title. Despite his physical discomfort, Scheffler shot an impressive eight-under 64 to clinch victory by one shot at 20 under par.
Fellow Americans Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark and Xander Schauffele narrowly missed forcing a playoff with missed putts on the final hole. Scheffler’s victory marked his eighth PGA Tour win, earning him $4.5 million from the prize fund.
Despite challenges from competitors, Scheffler’s remarkable comeback in the final round sealed his historic win. Matt Fitzpatrick’s title challenge faltered while Rory McIlroy finished 11 shots off the lead but expressed optimism about his performance.
