Rory McIlroy shared his thoughts after winning the Players Championship for the second time

Rory McIlroy joined the press conference at the TPC Sawgrass after the last round of the 2025 Players Championship and reflected upon his triumph at the tournament. He said, via ASAP Sports:

“It feels amazing. Someone just asked me there how was my morning, and I said, it was stressful. But yeah, no, I'm super happy, super proud to win this event for a second time. Not a lot of people have done that over the 51 years of THE PLAYERS. I go back to 2009 when I first set eyes on this golf course, and it certainly wasn't love at first sight. I've had to learn to play this golf course and adapt my game to it in some ways. Yeah, to win for a second time is awesome.

He continued, “It was incredible. I was walking up 16 fairway, and I turned to my caddie Harry, and I was like, I can't believe how many people are here. Obviously no one works in Jacksonville.Yeah, it was amazing. I didn't expect there to be so many people out there today. It created a great atmosphere. Certainly J.J. and I really appreciated that.”

Before the 2025 Players Championship, Rory McIlroy won the 2019 Players Championship as well with a score of 16 under 272 by defeating Jim Furyk.
