Tiger Woods clinches the Players Championship for the second time with a two-shot victory at TPC Sawgrass.

Tiger Woods has won the Players Championship for the second time with a two-shot victory at TPC Sawgrass.

The American carded a 70 on Sunday to finish ahead of fellow countrymen Kevin Streelman and Jeff Maggert, as well as Sweden's David Lingmerth.

A late surge from Martin Laird saw the Scot end a shot further back with two others, while Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood were among seven players to post final scores of seven-under.

One of those players was Sergio Garcia, who found the water on the final two holes to rule himself out of contention for the title when it looked like he would be contesting it in a playoff with Woods.
