On the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, where no lead ever is safe, largely due to the iconic par-3 17th hole surrounded by water, Young birdied it in each of his last three rounds. But having stood on its tee one shot back of then-leader Matt Fitzpatrick in the finale, where the hole was cut in its traditional location on the right, Young’s conversion from just inside 10 feet was easily the most impactful.
At the par-4 18th and with a strong wind favoring distance, Young piped his drive a field-long 375 yards into the fairway to put himself in position for what is never a stress-free par. After Fitzpatrick’s drive came to rest in the pine straw right of the fairway en route to a bogey-5, Young eventually tapped in for par and his first title at THE PLAYERS and second career PGA TOUR victory.
While Young and Fitzpatrick comprised the penultimate pairing in the finale, the champ was down four strokes to 54-hole pacesetter Ludvig Åberg. (The Swede closed with 76 to finish T5.) But it’s hardly news at TPC Sawgrass, where Scottie Scheffler erased a five-shot deficit in the final round in 2024 to win. And before Rory McIlroy captured victory last year in a playoff, he had opened his final round four strokes adrift.
Young earns $4.5 million of a $25 million prize fund. He also banks 750 FedExCup points. He’s now exempt as a PGA TOUR member through 2031 via this victory, and he’s exempt into the next three editions of all four majors. As a bonus, he’ll climb into the top five of the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in his career.
