Scheffler strolls into $4.5m uncontested at Players Championship.. final results..

 PGA Tour Players Championship.. Final results.. prize money Leaderboard

Scottie Scheffler from a devout Christian family had a 2 shot lead heading into Sunday's final round, but whatever his good Lord had in store for him, his wife and family was fine by them.

A male golfer pumps his fist after making a putt.

Scottie Scheffler of the United States 

After birdies at 8,9,10,11,12 he was well on his way to a 69 for a 5 shot spread, winning $4.5m this anti climatic but enjoyable Sunday at the $25,000,000 Players Championship..Imagine the 10% tithes in next Sundays church collection plate !!

It was his 6th win in 13 months and he returns to OWGR #1. Consider this, he has already won $10.59m this year, before the Masters etal... 

Nobody could catch him. 

Kim Woo Lee who had it all going in Saturday's 66, lost it all in Sunday's 76 but finished in the big group at -6 T6 worth $736,607. He hasn't been outside the top 13 in his last 5 DP World Tour events and will likely win his PGA Tour card for 2024 as one of their top 10 finishers in the Race to Dubai.

Others T6 with him were Max Homa, Justin Suh, Justin Rose, David Lingmerth, Sungjae Im, and Cam Davis all paid $736,607

The temperamental Englishman Tyrrell Hatton fired a final nine 29 to finish with a 65, 2nd at -12, worth $2,725,000

Viktor Hovland 68 and Tom Hoge 70 T3 at -10 worth $1,475,000 each. Hoge set the course record Saturday with 62 after booking a flight home to Dallas after his opening 78.

Hideki Matsuyama has been out of the spotlight this year recovering from injury but his 67 68 weekend potted him $1,025,000 for 5th place.  

Canadians:

Taylor Pendrith : 67 73 72 80 +4   T69 +4 went flag hunting...didn't work out 6 bogey's and 3 doubles 80..$51,500

Adam Hadwin : 71 70 69 71 T13 -7 out in -2 34 with 2 birdies all pars.. back in 37 for 71 a solid but unspectacular result over 4 days top 15 worth $447,916

Adam Svensson:  68 67 75 71 -7  T13 -7 a great week, leading after 36 holes, a triple bogey 7 on Saturday derailed him, worth $447,916.

Note: a gambler in the US bet $300,000 on Scottie before the Players and won $3.300,000

This week the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook resort a non designated event worth $8,500,000 was won by Sam Burns 2020-2022 (twice) and by banned LIV Paul Casey 217/ 2018 (twice ).

Michael Gligic, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor are all listed in the field.

Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth are also listed.

Most of the top pros are at home this week.
