Scheffler Closes With 66 to Win The American Express for 20th PGA Tour Title

The win confers lifetime PGA Tour membership, placing him in a trio with Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus for 20 victories and four majors before age 30.

Overview

  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished at 27-under 261, winning by four despite a late double bogey at the par-3 17th on the Stadium Course.
  • The victory is his 20th PGA Tour win in four years and secures lifetime membership, underscoring a stretch that includes nine wins by four shots or more.
  • Jason Day (64), Ryan Gerard (65), Matt McCarty (68) and Andrew Putnam (68) shared second at 23 under; 54-hole leader Si Woo Kim slid to a tie for sixth with a 72.
  • Eighteen-year-old Blades Brown, in the final group after a course-record 60 earlier in the week, closed with a 74 to finish T-18 and completed eight straight days of PGA Tour‑sanctioned competition.
  • The three-course rotation yielded low early scoring on La Quinta and Nicklaus layouts before the Stadium Course decided the title on Sunday.
