McIlroy, Spaun in First Players Playoff Since 2015

The 2025 Players Championship concluded its final round without a winner due to a weather-induced delay, resulting in a tie between Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun at 12-under-par. Both players will enter a three-hole playoff on Monday morning at TPC Sawgrass to determine the winner. McIlroy initially built a three-shot lead but dropped a stroke after a bogey on the 14th hole, allowing Spaun to catch up with birdies on the 14th and 16th holes. The playoff will cover holes 16, 17, and 18 under the tournament's aggregate format. This marks the first playoff at The Players since 2015, with McIlroy seeking his second title at the event after a win in 2019.
