71 jugadores -los que superaron el corte tras dos días de juego- se repartieron los 15 millones de dólares que ofrecía The PLAYERS, la mayor cantidad de dinero que otorga un torneo de golf en cualquiera de los Circuitos entre los que se incluyen los cuatro Grandes y cualquier prueba de las Series Mundiales –WGC-.
De esos 15 millones, el 18 por ciento, o lo que es lo mismo, 2.700.000 fueron a parar a manos del estadounidense Justin Thomas quién con un acumulado de -14 se encaramó hasta lo más alto de la tabla con una última ronda de 68 golpes. Un triunfo que viene tras una mala racha personal en la que se incluye la muerte de su abuelo, los problemas de patrocinio y el accidente de Tiger ya que no hay que olvidar que JT y Woods son grandes amigos.
Jon Rahm y Sergio García -empatados en el noveno puesto junto a otros seis jugadores- percibieron un cheque -cada uno- de 339.375 dólares, el equivalente a unos 284.000 euros, mientras que el último clasificado -puesto 71-, el estadounidense Nate Lashley con +6, se embolsará 30.450.
