Stewart Cink Claims Schwab Cup Championship and Season Crown in Phoenix

A closing 67 with a par at the 18th secured a two-shot margin after Steven Alker's approach found the lake.

Overview

  • Cink finished at 20-under 264 to top Alker at 18 under after starting the day one stroke behind.
  • The win was Cink’s third of 2025 and fourth on the PGA Tour Champions, lifting his season earnings to about $3.4 million.
  • The tournament paid $528,000 to the winner from a $3 million purse, with all 36 players earning money in the no-cut, 72-hole finale.
  • The separate Charles Schwab Cup bonus pool awarded $1 million to Cink, with payouts limited to the top five in the season standings.
  • Cink became only the fourth player to sweep the championship event and the season title in the same year, joining Tom Watson, Tom Lehman and Kevin Sutherland.
