Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun to Face Off in Three-Hole Playoff for Players Championship Title

After finishing tied at 12-under, the two golfers will compete Monday morning at TPC Sawgrass to determine the winner of golf's 'fifth major.'

Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun concluded Sunday's final round tied at 12-under, forcing a three-hole aggregate playoff to decide the 2025 Players Championship winner.
The playoff will take place on TPC Sawgrass's iconic closing holes: the par-five 16th, par-three 17th, and par-four 18th, starting at 9 a.m. ET.
McIlroy, a former Players champion in 2019, is aiming for his second title at the event and his second PGA Tour win of the season.
Spaun, ranked 57th in the world, seeks his second career PGA Tour victory and first since the 2022 Valero Texas Open.
Sunday's final round was disrupted by a four-hour weather delay, with McIlroy surrendering a three-shot lead and Spaun rallying to force the playoff.
