Rory McIlroy Wins Players Championship in Dramatic Playoff

The victory marks McIlroy's 28th PGA Tour title and a personal milestone, celebrated with his wife and daughter less than a year after reconciling his marriage.

Rory McIlroy secured his second Players Championship title and 28th PGA Tour win by defeating J.J. Spaun in a three-hole playoff at TPC Sawgrass.
The win comes after a challenging tournament with difficult weather conditions and emotional struggles, which McIlroy described as a 'battle.'
McIlroy celebrated the victory with his wife, Erica Stoll, and their 4-year-old daughter, Poppy, who gave him a flower after his win.
This triumph follows McIlroy's reconciliation with Stoll in June 2024, after filing for divorce in May 2024 and later dismissing the petition.
With this momentum, McIlroy is preparing for the Masters next month, where he aims to complete a career Grand Slam, a feat he has pursued since 2014.
