The 2023 The Players Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Scottie Scheffler, who earns the PGA Tour win at TPC Sawgrass' Players Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
In the final round, Scheffler pulled away from the field with five birdies in a row in the middle of the round, affording him a huge cushion. Ultimately, Scheffler reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking with a five-shot win on 17-under 271.
On the back of a final-nine 29, Tyrrell Hatton finished in solo second place on 12-under total.
Viktor Hovland and Tom Hoge finished in a tie for third place on 10-under total.
Scheffler won the $4,500,000 winner's share of the $25,000,000 purse.
