Woods wins as Garcia crumbles

Tiger Woods claimed his 78th PGA Tour title and the richest prize in golf as Sergio Garcia’s hopes of a second Players Championship fell victim to the infamous 17th hole at Sawgrass.

After two days in which their personal animosity was made a matter of public record, Woods and Garcia found themselves tied for the lead with two holes to play and the winner’s cheque of £1.1million in the balance.
