PGA Tour Makes Scottie Scheffler Announcement After Open Championship Win

It’s Scottie Scheffler’s world—and right now, the rest of us are just living in it. The 29-year-old delivered yet another dominant performance over four days at The Open Championship.

For the first time in his career, Scheffler captured the sport’s oldest major, marking his fourth career major title. With only the U.S. Open left to complete the career Grand Slam, he continues to make history at an astonishing pace.

Scheffler entered Sunday’s final round with a four-stroke lead and never came close to giving it up. He cruised to a 17-under finish, with Harris English finishing second at 13-under par.

After tapping in on the 18th hole, the PGA Tour announced a historic milestone for the world’s No. 1-ranked golfer.

Scheffler has officially become the first player in the modern major championship era to win each of his first four majors by three or more strokes:

2022 Masters (3 strokes)
2024 Masters (4 strokes)
2025 PGA Championship (5 strokes)
2025 Open Championship (4 strokes)

Scheffler becomes the first player during the modern major championship era to win his first four majors by three or more strokes: 2022 Masters (3), 2024 Masters (4), 2025 PGA Championship (5), 2025 Open Championship (4).

Since capturing his first major victory at Augusta National in 2022, Scottie Scheffler has remained at the top of the sport—a feat that's incredibly difficult to sustain over multiple years, especially at the level he’s maintained.

In 2025 alone, Scheffler has claimed four official PGA Tour wins. He’s also recorded 11 consecutive top-10 finishes in the tournaments he’s competed in and hasn’t finished outside the top 25 once all season.

In a remarkable coincidence, it took Scheffler exactly 1,197 days to go from his first major win to his fourth—the same number of days it took Tiger Woods, widely regarded as the greatest of all time, to do the same.
