Scottie Scheffler fired a final-round, 8-under 64 Sunday to become the first player in the 50-year history of The Players Championship to win at TPC Sawgrass in consecutive years.
Scheffler finished the week 20-under 268 to claim his second straight Players victory in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
The World No. 1 — who fought through neck pain earlier in the tournament — started the day five shots off the pace of 54-hole leader Xander Schauffele.
After racking up an eagle and six birdies to get to 20 under, he watched as Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark and Schauffele were unable to pull out one more birdie to force a playoff.
Clark’s bid to tie, on nearly the exact putt Harman missed moments before, traced the left rim of the cup around the back and out.
Harman (68 on Sunday), Clark (69) and Schauffele (70) tied for second at 19 under. Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick (69) finished fifth at 16 under.
Scheffler also won on tour for the second straight week, having captured his second career Arnold Palmer Invitational title last week in Orlando. He has six top-10 finishes in seven starts this season.
