Tiger Woods won The Players Championship by two shots from Kevin Streelman, Jeff Maggert and David Lingmerth, his second victory in the event 12 years after the first in 2001. It marks his 78th PGA Tour title out of 286 professional starts, a 27.3% win-rate, and leaves him just 4 short of Sam Snead's all-time record 82 wins. His fourth win of 2013, it brings him a 12th season in which he has won four or more titles; he has never previously won four by mid-May in his career. Woods has now won 7 of his last 22 starts, and notches up his 16th career victory in Florida, the most of any state; he has also closed out the win 53 of the 57 times he has held at least a share of the lead entering the final round. He is the sixth player in the 40-year history of The Players to claim more than one victory, along with Jack Nicklaus (3), Hal Sutton, Fred Couples, Steve Elkington and Davis Love III (all on 2).
The 600 points for the win extend Woods' lead at the top of the FedEx Cup Standings, with Kevin Streelman taking third spot, up 2 places, David Lingmerth moving 40 places up to 31st and 49-year-old Jeff Maggert climbing 88 places to 73rd. Sergio Garcia, who was level with Woods on 13-under-par standing on the 17th tee at Sawgrass, but who finished 7-6 with three balls in the water on the last two holes for a share of 8th place, moves up 8 spots to 35th.
