Players Championship leaderboard: PGA Tour updates, highlights, how to watch playoff
(This story has been updated to add new information.)
It's Monday, the finally final day of The Players Championship.
After a four-hour delay for severe thunderstorms around TPC Sawgrass on Sunday afternoon, and a deadlock atop the leaderboard on Sunday night, there's a two-man, three-hole playoff Monday morning to decide the victor in Ponte Vedra Beach.
J.J. Spaun, the third-round leader, erased a three-stroke deficit with five remaining holes to stay alive in the quest for his second career PGA Tour win. He'll face off against 27-time PGA Tour winner and 2019 Players champion Rory McIlroy, who's eager to join the select list of multiple winners at the Tour's flagship event.
This is the first playoff to decide The Players since 2015.

How does The Players Championship's Monday playoff work?
Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun will compete in a three-hole playoff over No. 16, No. 17 and No. 18. The best overall score over the three holes will win.
If the two remain tied, they would move to a sudden-death format at No. 17, then cycling through Nos. 18, 16 and 17, in that order, until a champion is determined. --Clayton Freeman
