Tiger Woods won the first of his two Players Championships, one stroke ahead of runner-up Vijay Singh. Because of bad weather, the tournament was completed on Monday, March 26. In the final pairing with 54-hole leader Jerry Kelly, Woods played the final nine holes on Monday.
Woods had won the previous three majors in 2000; he won the Masters Tournament two weeks later to hold all four major titles at once, the Tiger Slam, as well as this Players, an unofficial "fifth major." He won his second Players a dozen years later in 2013.
