Correction/clarification: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported Scottie Scheffler’s score in relation to par. He finished 11 under par.
Golf’s No. 1 player is No. 1 at the PGA Championship.
Scottie Scheffler recovered from a tough Sunday afternoon at Quail Hollow Club and won the 2025 PGA Championship, adding another signature victory for the game’s top-ranked golfer.
The final round felt like it would be cruise control for Scheffler as he entered the day with a three-stroke lead. However, a rough front nine put it in jeopardy. While that happened, Jon Rahm surged toward the top of the leaderboard and got into a tie in the back nine.
Despite the shaky start, Scheffler recovered and was able to play a clean back nine while Rahm couldn’t capitalize on golden opportunities. Scheffler finished 11-under-par and there were three golfers tied for second at 6-under-par.
It’s the second major Scheffler has won after winning the 2022 and 2024 Masters. It may also be the start of a hot streak, as it’s his second victory in May after winning The CJ Cup Byron Nelson on May 4.

Scottie Scheffler readies for victory
There won’t be a dramatic finish for this year’s PGA title.
Scottie Scheffler hit par on the par-3 17th and is a few shots away from securing the major. He enters the final hole of the event six shots ahead over the mega-tie for second place.
John Rahm closes disastrous finish
After starting the back nine tied for first, Jon Rahm finishes the PGA Championship in disappointment.
He had a real chance to overtake the lead from Scottie Scheffler but he couldn’t hit anything down the stretch. On the last three holes of the day, he had two double bogeys and one bogey to take himself well out of the running. He finished Sunday 2-over-par for a final score of -6.
Jon Rahm hits water, Scottie Scheffler closing in on win
Jon Rahm made it interesting, but it looks like it won’t be a close finish in Charlotte.
It’s been a tough string for Rahm as he failed to make critical putts to better his scorecard while Scheffler recovered and got some birdies to separate himself. A late surge was needed from Rahm to get back in contention, but it pretty much went out the window when his tee shot on the par-3 17th went into the water.
Rahm ended up taking double bogey to drop him six shots behind Scheffler, who can coast toward a win.
Scottie Scheffler birdies to strengthen lead
Things may be looking good for Scottie Scheffler.
It looked like a possible collapse could happen for Scheffler after he lost the lead Sunday, but he’s regrouped as Jon Rahm hasn’t been able to capitalize on opportunities. Scheffler birdied the par-4 14th to jump two strokes ahead of Rahm.
Jon Rahm loses lead, putt lips out
It’s starting to become a roller coaster of a day for Jon Rahm.
After briefly tying Scottie Scheffler for the lead, Rahm slipped back into second place thanks to a birdie by Scheffler on the par-5 10th. Rahm had his chance to respond with a birdie on the par-3 13th with a 20-foot putt. It was played well but the putt lipped out in stunning fashion.
Rahm remains one shot behind Scheffler.
On the par-4 15th hole, Rahm missed another birdie attempt to get back into a tie for the leaderboard.
Rahm pulls into tie for lead
Jon Rahm has ridden a hot putter and taken advantage of Scottie Scheffler’s struggles to move into a tie for the lead with seven holes to play.
Rahm posted back-to-back birdies as he began the back nine to get to 9-under for the tournament — just after Scheffler bogeyed the ninth for a two-shot swing.
Matt Fitzpatrick moved into a three-way tie for third place at 7-under with an eagle on the par-4 14th hole.
Scheffler wobbling as he turns for home
Consistently pulling his driver to the left off the tee and only hitting two of seven fairways on the front nine, Scottie Scheffler holds a precarious one-stroke with nine holes to play.
Scheffler is 2-over for the day — cutting into the three-shot margin he had to start the final round at Quail Hollow.
Two-time major champion Jon Rahm of Spain has moved into serious contention, completing his front nine in 1-under and adding another birdie on the par-5 10th.
Sweden’s Alex Noren is third at 7-under.
Harris English shoots the round of the day
Fueled by five birdies on the back nine, American Harris English grabbed the clubhouse lead after shooting a 6-under 65 on Sunday. English started the day at even par, but his stellar round — with six birdies and one bogey in all — vaulted him into a tie for third place at 6-under for the tourney.
English trailed leader Scottie Scheffler by five strokes after finishing his round. It likely won’t be enough to win the tournament, but it should give him a very nice payday.
Low scores looking possible in final round
The Quail Hollow course looks, as they say, ‘gettable’ today, based on some of the early rounds already in the books.
Sam Burns currently has the best round of the day, a 4-under 67 to finish the tournament at 2-under.
The par-5 seventh and drivable par-4 eighth could provide a springboard for a low round, which Scottie Scheffler’s challengers will need to shoot to have a shot at catching the world’s top player.
Eric Cole owns No. 4
It’s been quite a week for Eric Cole on the par-3 fourth hole.
After notching his first career ace on the PGA Tour in Thursday’s opening round, Cole didn’t hit his tee shot quite that close in Sunday’s final round.
No problem. He simply drained the 62-footer for birdie to get to even par for the tournament.
Eagles fly for Xander Schauffele
Moments after Tommy Fleetwood played a shot off the rocks on seven, Xander Schauffele got into the eagle game on eight. His second shot was an approach just off the green.
It’s a great show that may be too little, too late at Quail Hollow. However, his chip-in now puts him 1-under par on the tournament.
Tommy Fleetwood off the rocks
Tommy Fleetwood, armed with a 6-iron and a bit of luck, played into the green at seven, which is a par 5 with some water just right of the hole.
Fleetwood hit a bank shot off the rocks to the right that landed just on the green for what would be a remarkable and quite fortuitous eagle.

What majors has Scottie Scheffler won?
Scottie Scheffler was named PGA Tour rookie of the year in 2020 — and he’s only gotten better since.
He rose to become the No. 1-ranked player in the world in 2022 and then won his first career major at the 2022 Masters. He followed it up by winning the Masters again in 2024.
Just like today, Scheffler held the 54-hole lead both times.
Those are his only two major titles, although he finished tied for second at the PGA Championship in 2023, tied for second at the U.S. Open in 2022 and tied for seventh at the British Open in 2024.

PGA Championship predictions and picks
Experts made their picks ahead of the tournament:
NBC Sports: Bryson DeChambeau
Ryan Lavner writes, ‘Bryson DeChambeau. There’s no one on the planet – not Rory, not Scottie – who is driving the ball as well as DeChambeau is at the moment. And it’s difficult to conjure up a more perfect venue for him, a 7,600-yard behemoth that will play even longer after the heavy rain and place a premium on finding the fairways and avoiding the wet, dense rough. DeChambeau’s iron play continues to be a question mark – it’s the only reason he didn’t win the Masters last month – but his short game and putting remains tidy enough to give him a significant advantage. If he continues to drive the ball like he has for the past year-plus, this is a great opportunity for him to knock off major No. 3.’
BetMGM: Bryson DeChambeau
‘Including a near miss at Augusta National, DeChambeau has now recorded four top-10s in his last five major championships. Over his last nine major championships, DeChambeau owns five top-10s and four top-5s. One such success came last year at Valhalla, the most correlative course to Quail Hollow, per datagolf.com.’
Gambling Nerd: Scottie Scheffler
‘Despite never winning the event, Scheffler has finished in the top 10 in four of his five PGA Championship appearances. … Scheffler will solidify his standing at the top of the world rankings with a win at Quail Hollow Club this year.’
Newsweek: Rory McIlroy
‘Scheffler may lead the odds to win, but McIlroy’s track record at Quail Hollow can’t be overlooked. The Northern Irishman has won four of his 12 appearances in the Wells Fargo Championship (now the Truist Championship) there, to go with five other top 10s. Add to that the level of play he has displayed this season (three wins, one major).’
