Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun Set for Monday Playoff at The Players Championship

The two golfers will face off in a three-hole aggregate playoff after tying at 12-under par at TPC Sawgrass.

Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun both finished at 12-under par after regulation play, forcing a playoff to decide the 2025 Players Championship winner.
The playoff will take place Monday morning at 9 a.m. ET, featuring the par-5 16th, par-3 17th, and par-4 18th holes in a three-hole aggregate format.
McIlroy built a three-shot lead on the back nine but missed key opportunities to close out the tournament, while Spaun rallied with late birdies on the 14th and 16th holes.
A four-hour rain delay earlier in the day postponed the playoff, marking the first Monday finish at The Players since 2022 and the first playoff since 2015.
McIlroy seeks his second Players Championship title and 28th PGA Tour win, while Spaun aims for his second career victory and significant career advancement opportunities.
