Scottie Scheffler clinched his first US PGA Championship title with a commanding five-shot victory at Quail Hollow, finishing 11-under par. The world number one overcame a shaky front nine and a brief challenge from Jon Rahm to close with a level-par 71 and take home the Wanamaker Trophy. Behind him, Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English, and Davis Riley all tied for second at 6-under, while Rahm’s late collapse left him tied for eighth.
Scheffler's win marks his third major title, adding to his Masters victories in 2022 and 2024. He became the 10th consecutive American to win the PGA Championship and matched Seve Ballesteros as the only player in a century to win their first three majors by at least three strokes.

His back-nine birdies at 10, 14, and 15 proved crucial after he briefly lost his lead. “I didn’t play my best stuff,” Scheffler admitted. “But I kept myself in it… and had a good nine holes.”
After the triumph, the PGA Tour summed it up perfectly in just five words: “Team Scheffler soaks it in
.” The simple message captured the emotion of the moment as Scheffler, in tears walking up the 18th, celebrated with his team.
His win also carries added meaning, it came a year to the day after his arrest at Valhalla. From an orange jumpsuit to lifting the trophy, it’s been a journey of grit and growth.
Now with 15 PGA Tour titles in just over three years, including Olympic gold, Scheffler is proving he’s more than just the current world No.1. His mental strength and ability to bounce back make him golf’s most dominant force today.
