Rory McIlroy is leading in the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship 2025! The Irishman kicked off the day with an excellent birdie on the 4-par 1st hole. He followed that up with an even more amazing eagle in the par 5 2nd hole. Since then, apart from a minor hiccup on the 7th, McIlroy has been absolutely brilliant throughout the day. And only a few moments ago, a 270-yard drive on the 12th to hit the fairway. That’s when it happened!
As the weather gods had warned us, TPC Sawgrass was covered with rainfall. McIlroy had a 1-stroke lead against the field with a 4-under 45. Shocking, this is not the first time rain has interrupted play at TPC Sawgrass. And fans have always criticized Jay Monahan & Co. for that.
@PGATOURComms shared the weather report from Florida on X. They tweeted, “Play was suspended at THE PLAYERS Championship at 1:15 p.m. due to lightning in the area.” The same was communicated by @Underdog__Golf as well, as they tweeted, “Weather alert: Play suspended at The Players in Round 4 due to inclement weather.”
This welcomed a barrage of responses from frustrated fans. Let’s see what they had to say.
Fans critique PGA Tour after Rory McIlroy’s triumph gets delayed
Watching Rory McIlroy’s display of sublime strokeplay had gotten the fans pumped up.

This is a developing story…
