Scheffler Shines at Quail Hollow:
A PGA Championship to Remember

Scheffler entered the final round with a three-shot lead, but early bogeys allowed Jon Rahm to momentarily draw level. Demonstrating remarkable composure, Scheffler responded with clutch birdies on the 10th, 14th, and 15th holes, pulling away to finish at 11-under-par, five strokes ahead of his nearest competitors.

This triumph adds the Wanamaker Trophy to Scheffler's collection and brings him halfway to a career Grand Slam, having previously won the Masters in 2022 and 2024.

Scheffler's win came with a record-breaking $3.42 million prize from a $19 million purse, the largest in PGA Championship history. Additionally, he earned 100 Official World Golf Ranking points, 750 FedEx Cup points, and lifetime entry into the PGA Championship, along with five-year exemptions to the other majors and The Players Championship.

The 2025 season has been eventful for Scheffler. After recovering from a hand injury sustained during holiday preparations, he returned to form with a dominant win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, tying the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record.

His victory at Quail Hollow was particularly poignant, as it was his first major win since becoming a father, adding emotional depth to his achievement.

With the U.S. Open at Oakmont and The Open Championship at Royal Troon on the horizon, Scheffler has the opportunity to continue his pursuit of the career Grand Slam. His current form and mental fortitude make him a formidable contender in the upcoming majors.
