Scottie Scheffler spent the first three rounds of The Players Championship 2024 struggling with neck discomfort, but that didn't stop him from playing his four rounds in the 60s. However, Scheffler saved his best for last and fired a fourth-round 64.

This allowed him to overcome the five-stroke deficit he started the day with on Sunday. Scheffler's performance was combined with rounds of 68, 70 and 69, respectively, by his main competitors Brian Harman, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark, to fall one stroke behind the leader.

Scheffler was again among the top ball strikers and scorers on the PGA Tour. He led The Players Championship in Stroke Gained (SG): Off the tee (6,429), SG: Total (17,126) and driving accuracy percentage (80.36%). In addition, he again had positive numbers with the putter, achieving a 'SG: Putting' of 1.246 and 1.67 putts per greens in regulations.
