Xander Schauffele’s resume includes an Olympic gold medal, Tour Championship title and WGC victory. On Sunday at TPC Sawgrass, though, he has a chance to add a victory that would top them all.
After a flawless third-round 65, Schauffele holds a one-stroke lead heading into the final round at the 2024 Players Championship. With a win he’d not only add a win at the PGA Tour’s premier event, but also earn himself the hefty $4.5 million first-place prize.
To get his hands on the trophy, he’ll have to hold off a series of challengers featuring some of the Tour’s best. Men’s golf’s two most recent major winners — Brian Harman and Wyndham Clark — are each within two strokes of Schauffele, while major winners Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler remain in chase as well.
