Scheffler got to 11-under for the week and ended up taking home a five-shot win over the field.<\/p>\n<p>That earned Scheffler his first ever PGA Championship win and the iconic Wanamaker Trophy. It marks his third career major championship win, and his first outside of Augusta National. Scheffler will also take home a $3.42 million check \u2014 which is part of a tournament record $19 million purse this week.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler surged ahead to a three-shot lead with his 6-under 65 on Saturday, though he made three bogeys on his front nine and saw a five-shot lead disappear completely while Jon Rahm surged ahead of him. Rahm, however, lost all of the momentum he had built up. He started missing putts and ended up finishing 5-over in his final three holes to drop well back while Scheffler turned it on behind him. Scheffler made back-to-back birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 to reclaim his massive lead as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n<p>From there, Scheffler simply cruised to the finish to grab his win. The win marked the 15th career PGA Tour victory for the top-ranked golfer in the world, and his second this month alone.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley finished in a tie for second at 6-under on the week. Taylor Pendrith, J.T. Poston and Jhonattan Vegas \u2014 who held the lead at the midway point \u2014 finished in a tie for fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Stick with Yahoo Sports this week for all of the latest news from on the ground in North Carolina, and check out <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pgatour.com\/leaderboard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the leaderboard here;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the leaderboard here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>LIVE COVERAGE IS OVER51 updates<\/p>\n<ul class=\"caas-liveblog-list\">\n<li class=\"caas-liveblogpost\" data-id=\"2b0d9ae1-58ad-4a9f-9497-8f8100e2ed55\" id=\"2b0d9ae1-58ad-4a9f-9497-8f8100e2ed55\" data-lmt=\"{\" utc=\"\" may=\"\" gmt=\"\" at=\"\" pm=\"\" gmt-7=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747634829_195_dims\"\/>Sun 18 May 2025 at 5:40 pm GMT-7Scottie Scheffler is 18 holes from erasing the one very soft knock against him\n<p>The knock on Scottie Scheffler \u2014 and admittedly it\u2019s more of a tap \u2014 is that he hasn\u2019t won a major outside of the friendly confines of Augusta National.
