Scheffler's hopes of an unprecented third consecutive trophy at the PGA Tour's flagship event fizzled out, finishing with a 4-under 284 for the tournament. Braving gusts and sporadic sprinkles, the world's No. 1 golfer carded a 1-over 73 in the final round, entering the clubhouse inside the leading 20 but never threatening a repeat of 2024.

Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked player in the world who last year became the first player to win back-to-back Players, finished 4-under par for the week, well off the lead.
