Scottie Scheffler won again on Sunday. The World No.1 came from behind and edged out his Ryder Cup teammate Ben Griffin to win the Procore Championship and claim his 6th victory of the year.

Following the conclusion of the 2025 PGA Tour season, Scheffler and several of his Ryder Cup teammates participated in the Procore Championship to warm up for the Ryder Cup. The event in Napa, California turned out to be another tale of Scheffler’s dominant run.

The 4-time major champion did not have the best of starts to the tournament. He carded an opening round score of 70. Griffin meanwhile, had shot 64 on Thursday and found himself in command.

As Griffin shot 66 and 70 in rounds 2 and 3, respectively, Scheffler started to climb the leaderboard with scores of 68 and 64 on Friday and Saturday. He started the final round 2 shots behind Griffin.

After 3 birdies in the first 3 holes, Griffin made a bogey on Hole 4. He then shot 5 straight pars to end the front nine with a score of 33. On the back nine, he made his 2nd bogey on the 14th hole but bounced back with a birdie on the next hole.

Scheffler, on the other hand, made 4 birdies through the first 10 holes. After a bogey on Hole 11, the World No.1 fired birdies on Hole 12 and Hole 16. He eventually wrapped up the round with a score of 5-under 67.

On the final hole, Griffin needed a birdie to force a playoff round. Unfortunately, the 2-time PGA Tour winner would miss a close putt which saw him make par on the final hole and hand the title to Scheffler.

Scheffler finished the tournament with a 19-under par score, 1 shot ahead of Griffin. This triumph was his 6th win of the season following his wins at the CJ Bryon Nelson, the PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, the Open Championship, and the BMW Championship.

With his triumph on Sunday, the 29-year-old joined a prestigious group of players that includes Ben Crenshaw, Ernie Els, and Tom Kite. While speaking with reporters, the golfer claimed it was “weird” for him to be in the same realm as these golf greats.

Ben and Tom Kite, a couple awesome guys, a couple of Longhorns. Those are two guys that I’ve looked up to, and Ernie as well … It’s pretty weird to be in the same realm as those guys just because I’ve looked up to them for such a long time. I feel very fortunate to be sitting here holding the trophy.

Scottie Scheffler said as per PGA Tour

Scheffler is now close to achieving “life membership” at the PGA Tour. A 20th win on the tour would see him achieve this status, which means he would no longer have to worry about qualifying for the tour each year by finishing in the top 125 of the FedEx Cup standings.

Sam Burns (T13), Russell Henley (T19), and Patrick Cantlay (T30) all finished inside the top 30 of the tournament. Harris English and Collin Morikawa were tied and finished T43 with a score of 5-under par.

The worst performing member of the team was Justin Thomas. The 2-time major champion shot a score of 75 in the final round and finished 69th. One good thing for the US team was that all of them did make the cut.

The only two players who did not tee off from the American side were Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau. Schauffele would remain home as he welcomed his newborn child. Meanwhile, DeChambeau was banned from the event due to his ties with LIV Golf.
