Scottie Scheffler cruised to a win in the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland on Sunday.
Scheffler earned $3.1 million of the $17 million purse with the victory, bringing his career PGA Tour earnings total to roughly $91 million.
The 29-year-old now has four major championships under his belt, with three of his wins occurring over the past two years.
1,197 days separated Scheffler’s first major from his fourth, with legendary golfer Tiger Woods accomplishing the same feat in the exact amount of time.
Scheffler’s recent success has helped him earn over $12.3 million in tournament wins since May 4.
Scheffler already entered the fourth round of the Open with a a four-shot lead over the rest of the field after finishing with scores of 68, 64 and 67 in his first three rounds respectively.
He remained sharp on Sunday, recording five birdies and navigating around a double bogey on hole No. 8 to finish the day at three-under 68.
The No. 1 player in the World Golf Ranking led by as many as seven shots in Round 4, but he ran into some trouble after hitting his tee shot into a bunker on No. 8. It took him four shots to get on the putting surface before he registered his lone double bogey.
Scheffler didn’t seem to be fazed by the blemish, as he immediately followed it up with his fourth birdie on hole No. 9.
With victories at the PGA Championship and the Open Championship in 2025, Scheffler now needs to win the U.S. Open in order to become the seventh golfer ever to achieve a career Grand Slam.
