The 2017 Players Championship was the 44th Players Championship, held May 11–14 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and the 36th edition held at the Stadium Course.
Kim Si-woo, age 21, shot a final round 69 to win at 278 (−10), three strokes ahead of runners-up Louis Oosthuizen and Ian Poulter. Starting the final round two strokes back in fourth place, Kim became the championship's youngest winner by over 1½ years, passing Adam Scott (2004).[1][2]
In the preceding six months on the PGA Tour, Kim had missed the cut or withdrawn in most of his events and was without a top twenty finish.[3][4] The win was his second on tour and moved him up 47 places in the world rankings, from 75 to 28.[5]
In the final round, Rafa Cabrera-Bello recorded the first-ever double eagle at the par-5 16th hole, then birdied the par-3 17th.[6] His tee shot on 18 hooked into the water, but he chipped in to save par and tied for fourth.
Defending champion Jason Day shot 80 on Sunday and was seventeen strokes back, tied for sixtieth place.
