The victory earned Young US$4.5 million and 750 FedExCup points
The final result of THE PLAYERS Championship 2026 is now official. Cameron Young secured one of the season’s biggest titles on Sunday with a final round of 68 and a total of 275 strokes, 13 under par, enough to prevail by a single shot over Matt Fitzpatrick, who finished second with -12. The American wrapped up his win with a huge birdie at 17 and a decisive par at 18, in a tense finish at TPC Sawgrass.
The podium was completed by Xander Schauffele with -11, while Robert MacIntyre finished fourth with -10. One of Sunday’s big stories was the collapse of Ludvig Åberg, who had started the final day as leader with a three-shot advantage but dropped back to T5 after a much more troubled closing stretch. Young also pocketed US$4.5 million from a total purse of US$25 million and earned 750 FedExCup points, the same amount awarded to the winner at THE PLAYERS and at the majors.
