Don’t expect the famous Wanamaker Trophy to be featured prominently at the Scheffler household.
After dominating the course and the field at Quail Hollow to win his first PGA Championship and – third career major on Sunday – Scottie Scheffler shrugged when he was asked where he would put the major trophy.
Scheffler took home his third career major over the weekendGetty“Where’s it going to go? I have a room in my house called ‘The Golf Room’ and that’s where all my crap goes,” Scheffler said.
“It’s just a room full of all my golf junk. I’ve got some trophies in there as well and that’s probably where this one will go.
“I’d like to say that it’s nicely presented, but it’s not.”
After a slow start, Scheffler established a big lead heading in to Sunday’s final round – and while the final leaderboard made for a dominant win, Scheffler had to see off a spirited challenge.
Spain’s Jon Rahm came closest, drawing to within one shot of with world no.1 Scheffler at one point only to blow his challenge with five dropped shots in the last three holes.
Bryson DeChambeau also threatened to get into a position to post a score that would have left the final groups thinking and chasing.
However two dropped shots in his last six holes left him in a tie for second with Davis Riley and Harris English.
It is Scheffler’s third major victory and the first one that didn’t come with a green jacket.
The 28-year-old won the Masters in 2022 and 2024, and can now add the 2025 PGA Championship to his resume.
He now has half of the titles required for a career Grand Slam, with the US Open at Oakmont in June, and The Open at Royal Portrush in July standing in front of him this year.
Victories in those events not only would give him three majors in a calendar year, it would round out the Grand Slam in just over three years having won his first at Augusta in 2022.
The same amount of time it took Tiger Woods to achieve the feat.
Scheffler will head back to Texas as a three-time major winnerGettyAfter a slow – by his standards – start to the season, Scheffler won the week the CJ Cup with a 31-under-par total for his four rounds, and went back-to-back with his PGA success at Quail Hollow.
Although he admitted afterward that is did not come easy – despite the fact in 10 events this season he has two titles, one runners-up finish and seven top 10 finishes.
“I felt like this was as hard as I battled for a tournament in my career,” Scheffler said.
“This was a pretty challenging week.
“After this week, I’m going to go home and get ready for next week’s tournament, and the show goes on,” Scheffler said.
“It’s an endless pursuit and it’s a lot of fun. It’s definitely one of the great joys of my life to be able to compete out here.”
His next PGA Tour stop will be at Colonial, where he will look to keep it rolling.
Scheffler owns 15 PGA Tour victories that incredibly have all come in his last 70 starts.
With the victory, he has joined rarefied air, joining arguably the sport’s two greatest champions.
Scheffler joins Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players to have won three major championships and notch 15 tour wins before the age of 29.
