Overview
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler closed with a 6-under 66, fueled by four birdies in six holes, to finish 27 under and claim a four-shot victory in La Quinta.
- The win is Scheffler’s 20th on the PGA Tour, earning him lifetime membership and putting him alongside Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus with 20 wins and four majors before turning 30.
- Jason Day (64), Ryan Gerard (65), Matt McCarty (68) and Andrew Putnam (68) tied for second, while 54-hole leader Si Woo Kim shot 72 to finish T-6 after a double bogey at the par-5 eighth.
- Blades Brown, 18, set the Nicklaus Tournament Course record with a 12-under 60 and became the youngest player to shoot 60 or better on the U.S. tour before a final-round slide that included a water ball and double bogey.
- Brown’s week capped an unprecedented stretch of eight consecutive days of PGA Tour–sanctioned competition after a Korn Ferry Tour event in the Bahamas, with The American Express again testing players across a three-course rotation before a Stadium Course finish.
