DUBLIN, Ohio — In an event hosted by the great Jack Nicklaus on grounds where Tigers Woods once dominated, Scottie Scheffler showed this weekend why his name is among the greats in golf.
Behind a clinical final two rounds featuring just one bogey, seven birdies and 28 pars, Scheffler (-10) won the 2025 Memorial Tournament.
The victory marked back-to-back titles at the event for Scheffler. Only Woods, who won three straight from 1999-2001, has accomplished that feat.
Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, has now won three of four events played on the PGA Tour, including a major title at the PGA Championship two weeks ago.
Ben Griffin sets tone in first round
Ben Griffin wasted little time establishing himself as a contender. With a seven-under round of 65, Griffin had the best opening-round on the course.
Prior to this year’s competition, Griffin had never made the cut at the Memorial (2023, 2024). His lowest-ever round at the event was an even-par 72 in the first round of the 2023 tournament.
Nick Taylor enters mix in second round
While Scheffler lingered behind Griffin entering the weekend, Nick Taylor had an explosive second round to enter the mix.
Taylor shot a four-under on Friday to move into a tie with Griffin at seven-under. However, while playing in the final pairing on Saturday, Taylor shot two-over to hurt his chances at hoisting the trophy.
Pair of Texas Longhorns headline moving day
Scheffler opened his third round with 13 consecutive pars. While he did that, fellow Texas product Jordan Spieth made things interesting.
Spieth got as low as five-under par on Saturday, moving within striking distance of Griffin and Scheffler. However, a pair of bogeys to close the round got in the way.
As Spieth faltered, Scheffler finally arrived. Across his final five holes Saturday, Scheffler collected four birdies to move into first place.
Scottie Scheffler leaves no doubt in final round
Scheffler followed Saturday’s round with six straight pars to open Sunday.
Though his lone bogey of the weekend came on the 10th hole, Scheffler remained steady atop the leaderboard.
A pair of birdies helped fend off any run from Griffin who made noise with an eagle at the 15th and a birdie at the 16th before a double-bogey at the 17th.
