2025 Players Championship Final Payouts, Prize Money, Winnings: Rory McIlroy Wins $4,500,000

The Players Championship wrapped up Monday morning with a three-hole aggregate playoff, and Rory McIlroy prevailed to become a two-time Players champion.
McIlroy defeated J.J. Spaun, who did not hit a ball in the water at TPC Sawgrass all week until the 17th hole in the playoff, which led to a triple-bogey 6. McIlroy went birdie-bogey-bogey to win the playoff.
McIlroy, who also won the 2019 Players, earned his biggest payday with the $4.5 million winner’s check. He also won for the 28th time on the PGA Tour, now tied for 20th all-time with Leo Diegel and Paul Runyan. Spaun, who has won once on Tour, also had his biggest payday with $2,725,000 for the runner-up.
