Justin Thomas Wins 2021 Players Championship, Gives Emotional Interview

Justin Thomas won his first Players Championship on Sunday after finishing 14-under par at the Players Stadium Course in Palm Valley, Florida.

The tournament has the largest purse in all of golf at $15 million and Thomas took home $2.7 million as the winner.

Thomas, 27, also made history and had the lowest final 36-hole score in the tournament's history and said he it was "probably one of the best rounds of my life tee-to-green." Thomas gave an emotional interview after his win when speaking on Tiger Woods and his grandfather, who died this year.

"I wish I could talk to him, but I know he's watching," Thomas said about his grandfather.
