Get ready for an exciting Monday finish at TPC Sawgrass as Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun gear up for a three-hole playoff to determine the winner of The Players Championship. The two players finished the final round tied at 12-under after a grueling battle on Sunday, which was further prolonged by a four-hour weather delay.
Spaun is aiming for his second PGA Tour victory, having clinched his first win at the Valero Texas Open in 2022. Meanwhile, McIlroy is vying for his second win of the season, hoping to achieve a rare feat of winning twice in a calendar year before the Masters.
The playoff format for The Players Championship involves a three-hole aggregate playoff. McIlroy and Spaun will kick off at the par-5 16th hole and continue until a winner emerges. In the event of a tie after the initial three holes, a sudden-death playoff will take place at the iconic island green 17th hole. If needed, the playoff will extend to the 18th hole and cycle back to the 16th until a champion is crowned.
