Like last year’s edition, the 2016 Players Championship featured an impressive winning performance. But unlike 2015, we saw vastly less drama. If Rickie Fowler’s triumph last year was the essence of edge-of-your seat PGA Tour theater, this year’s determined march by Jason Day was a marvel of both efficiency and resilience. Through two days of uncharacteristically benign course conditions and record scoring, Day knocked down flags to the tune of a record-breaking 15-under performance. Amid vastly more difficult conditions Saturday and a bit of untidiness of his own...

Rory McIlroy entered Sunday needing a miracle to get back in contention for his first Players Championship victory. It never came. McIlroy carded a two-under score of 70 in his final round at TPC Sawgrass, ending his day in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in relative anonymity at seven under for the tournament. The former world No. 1 tied for 12th after carding his third round in four days in the 70s. Reigning No. 1 Jason Day won the tournament by four strokes. While a brilliant 64 on Friday briefly put McIlroy in contention, it was largely a middle-of-the-road week. His final round in...

Jason Day, the world No. 1, brings a comfortable four-stroke lead over Hideki Matsuyama, Ken Duke and Alex Cejka at the final round of The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Here’s a full look at the updating leaderboard: Of course, Day probably won’t be comfortable with his lead, not after he shot a one-over 73 on Saturday and struggled—like much of the field—with the incredibly fast putting greens, which he spoke about after his round, per Steve DiMeglio of USA Today: The green speeds kind...

Winner: Jason Day (-15) Jason Day earned his second wire-to-wire championship of the 2016 season as he took home The Players Championship title on Sunday. The No. 1 player in the world recorded a one-under 71 during his final round at the TPC Sawgrass and led by no less than two strokes throughout the 18 holes.

As the players behind him jockeyed for position, Day extended his advantage...

Jason Day continues to be the heavy favorite heading into the final round Sunday of the 2016 Players Championship. The 28-year-old Australian will begin his day with a strong lead, as he is four shots up on second-place sharers Alex Cejka, Ken Duke and Hideki Matsuyama. Course conditions were difficult at TPC Sawgrass Saturday as high winds and humidity made for fast greens. While perennial contenders Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth faltered, Day was able to hold steady at just one over for the day. Sinking shots like this certainly helped Day, courtesy of the PGA Tour: With much of the...

Jeunghun Wang made it two wins in a week on the European Tour, as he capitalised on a late collapse from Siddikur Rahman to win the Mauritius Open on Sunday with a score of six-under par. Leading by one shot heading into the final day, Rahman was able to pull away from Wang initially and had a three-shot lead with three holes to play. But the man from Bangladesh crumbled under late pressure, allowing the South Korean, who won the Trophee Hassan II just last weekend, to clinch the title with a birdie. This is the moment he birdied the last to go within touching distance of the win: Here is the...

The Players Championship has been as contrasting as night and day in terms of its scoring. With a number of golfers posting very low scores through the first two rounds, the third round featured tweaks to the course at TPC Sawgrass that made it extremely difficult for players to gain any momentum. Jason Day, who posted a 15-under in the first two rounds, still holds a four-stroke lead despite going one over in Saturday’s third round. He’ll be golfing with Hideki Matsuyama, who is at 10 under, in Sunday’s final pairing. Here is what the final tee times and pairings look...

Things have changed in The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. A course that offered some big-time low scores in the first two rounds became an unforgiving venue to break down Saturday. The third round tightened up the field for the most part, with the exception of world No. 1 Jason Day, who holds a four-stroke lead at 14 under par for the tournament. With one more day for him to hold off the rest of the pack, let’s take a look at Sunday’s final-round tee times: Prediction Jason Day Will Win The Players Championship Over the first two rounds of the tournament, Day was...
