The 2024 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass came down to a thrilling finish, with Scottie Scheffler rallying back to make history with his second straight victory at the prestigious event.
Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, was unbelievable in the final round, firing an 8-under 64 to beat Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele, and Brian Harman by one shot. All three of those players had birdie putts on the final hole that would have forced a playoff, but all of them came up short.
Clark’s birdie attempt had the best chance of going in but it somehow rolled around the hole and didn’t fall.
One … shot … short …
