Overview

  • Scheffler finished the 2025 Memorial Tournament at 10-under-par, four strokes ahead of Ben Griffin to seal his second consecutive victory at Muirfield Village.
  • This win represents Scheffler’s third PGA Tour title in four starts, following his triumphs at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the PGA Championship.
  • Golf legend Jack Nicklaus praised Scheffler’s smart, consistent play and remarked that he is performing beyond the rest of the field.
  • His recent hot streak has added more than $10 million to his season earnings and cemented his position as the world’s top-ranked golfer.
  • As Scheffler shifts focus to the U.S. Open at Oakmont, peers like Viktor Hovland have labeled features such as the nearly 300-yard par-3 eighth hole excessively long.
