Scottie Scheffler Makes the Majors Look Easy
May
A Third Major, and a First Away from Augusta
Scottie Scheffler stayed composed on Sunday, carding an even-par 71 to win the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Finishing at 11-under, he beat the field by five strokes. The victory is his third career major, his first PGA Championship, and importantly, his first major win outside Augusta National.
Rising to Join Golf’s Elite
This win places Scheffler in elite company. He now stands alongside Jordan Spieth, another former Texas Longhorn, with three major titles. Unlike many others, however, Scheffler continues to gain momentum.
Since missing the cut in his major debut at the 2019 U.S. Open, he has only missed one more in his next 20 starts. He now has eight top-five finishes and two runner-up results, far outnumbering his two missed cuts.
Redemption at the PGA Championship
One of those close calls came at the 2023 PGA Championship, where he tied with Viktor Hovland and finished two strokes behind Brooks Koepka. In 2024, his campaign took a hit when police arrested him on the way to Valhalla Golf Club before his opening round.
This year, though, he returned with focus and got the job done in his sixth PGA attempt — a result that surprised no one.
Stepping Up When It Matters
Scheffler’s performance in majors has been consistently strong. Out of his last 24 rounds in major tournaments, he shot under par in 14 of them. Despite two tough days at Pinehurst No. 2 during the 2024 U.S. Open, he has continually found ways to excel under pressure.
Majors are meant to test everything — from skill and patience to course management and mental endurance. Yet Scheffler continues to thrive on the biggest stages.
Proving He’s More Than Just a Masters Champion
With this latest win, Scheffler has ended any debate about whether he can win outside Augusta. His dominance now spans multiple venues and conditions. Over the past two seasons, he has collected nine titles, including two wins in 2025.
He also claimed the 2024 FedEx Cup, a season-long competition that rewards consistent excellence — not just a single hot streak. A quick glance at the Official World Golf Ranking confirms his status: Scheffler currently sits at world number one.
Keeping Contenders at Bay
Scheffler delivered rounds of 69, 68, 65, and 71, holding off players like Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, Jhonattan Vegas, Joaquin Niemann, and Jon Rahm. His calm, calculated style of play has become his trademark in high-stakes tournaments.
Eyes on Oakmont
Up next for Scheffler is the U.S. Open at Oakmont in a few weeks. Based on recent form, the only surprise would be if he fails to contend. For the past few years, strong performances at majors have become his norm — not the exception.
