Surprising Scottie Scheffler Forecast from Grant Horvat

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Dibyendu Mondal | Last updated May 12, 2025 9:23 AM ET

Scottie Scheffler recently won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas, finishing at 253 (−31) to tie the PGA Tour 72-hole scoring record and defeating Erik van Rooyen by eight strokes.

He decided not to take part in the Truist Championship, choosing to rest his body and bring his A-game to the PGA Championship. Meanwhile, Grant Horvat, golfer and social media influencer, has an interesting prediction for the world No. 1.

He put all his bets on Scheffler winning the PGA Championship. The 26-year-old made a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, writing, "Who’s winning the PGA Championship? I’m going with Scottie".

On May 5, 2025, Horvat hosted the Byron Nelson winner in an 18-hole stroke-play match at Scheffler’s course, featuring strategic shot discussions, banter and viral highlights on YouTube/TikTok.

Scheffler shares a special bond with his wife, Meredith. She gave birth to their son, Bennett, last year, and the couple recently celebrated his first birthday. He wrote, “One whole year with our little man!” alongside a heartwarming photo of them together.

Horvat also made another prediction involving Rory McIlroy. Just after the Scheffler one, he wrote, "I think there’s a chance Rory wins all the Majors this year. It felt like his B game won the Masters."

It remains to be seen which of his predictions comes true first, if any. The 2025 PGA Championship begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club, featuring stars like Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas besides McIlroy and Scheffler.
