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.
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

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.
