Players Championship final round preview
Bryson DeChambeau and Lee Westwood are preparing to tangle in their second final-round pairing in as many weeks. Westwood, the 44-time professional winner with only two PGA Tour victories, enters Sunday with a two-stroke advantage and a boatload of confidence after sinking a long putt on No. 17 on Saturday evening. DeChambeau, on the other hand, is looking for his second victory in as many weeks after outlasting Westwood in the final round of last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Further back, Jon Rahm and Paul Casey each find themselves needing big Sundays to vault into contention.
Below is the payout information, including winner’s share, for the Players Championship’s $15 million purse (the largest in PGA Tour regular-season history); you can catch the action all afternoon Sunday on NBC.
