Scottie Scheffler shoots 8-under 64 – Round 4 THE PLAYERS 2024

Not that anyone needed a reason for why Scottie Scheffler deserved to be a heavy favorite at THE PLAYERS Championship, but he went out and proved why, anyway.

With a field-low-tying, bogey-free 64 in the final round, Scheffler posted 20-under 268, good for a one-stroke victory over a trio of the closest chasers. In the process, he’s the first to successfully defend a title in the history of the tournament. What a gift and a celebration for its 50th anniversary.

The stage for Scheffler’s unprecedented success was readied in earnest with a hole-out for eagle from 92 yards on the par-4 fourth hole of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday. He’d follow with six birdies and finish as Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark and 54-hole leader Xander Schauffele all played on behind him, but all of whom checked up at T2 and one stroke behind.
