What time does the 2025 Players Championship playoff start?

After wild weather and a neck-and-neck finish to day four of the 2025 Players Championship, Rory McIlroy controls his destiny in a playoff on March 17 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

After a four-hour weather delay and an earlier start time during Sunday’s match, the golfer from Northern Ireland is tied with American golfer J.J. Spaun at 12 under par. McIlroy is chasing his 28th career PGA Tour win while Spaun is looking to get the second win of his tour career.

The golfer who gets the best score of the three playoff holes will hoist the Players Championship trophy and take home $4.5 million. The tournament runner-up will receive $2.725 million.
