PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida — The Players Championship has four decades of history at TPC Sawgrass, suggesting it doesn't favor a particular style of golf — power player or pea shooter, great short game or consummate iron player. And then Scottie Scheffler came along.
In one of his more remarkable performances in an astonishing 2024 season, Scheffler nearly withdrew in the second round with a neck injury, made three late birdies on the Saturday to at least stay in range, then overcame a five-shot deficit to win with a 64.
He became the first back-to-back winner of the PGA Tour's premier tournament, which means next to nothing to the world's No 1 player as he goes for three in a row.
