Players Championship 2017: Si Woo Kim Becomes Youngest Player to Ever Win Event

J.B. Holmes fell off. So did Kyle Stanley. And with none of the world's top players anywhere near the top of the leaderboard, someone had to step into the void.

Si Woo Kim did just that, carding a three-under 69 to defeat Ian Poulter and Louis Oosthuizen by three strokes to win the 2017 Players Championship. The 21-year-old is the youngest player to win the PGA's proverbial fifth major. Adam Scott set the previous record in 2004, winning the event at age 23.

Kim, who has been cut in his only two appearances at a major championship, will see an 111-spot boost in his FedEx Cup rankings.
