World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler produced an 81-foot chip-in birdie on the par-3 17th to cap a closing 67 and win the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland. The 28-year-old finished at 15-under-par 265, two strokes clear of overnight leader Robert MacIntyre, who carded a 73 after starting the day with a four-shot cushion. The victory is Scheffler’s fifth of the 2025 season and his 18th in the past four years, reinforcing his position atop the FedExCup standings and adding $3.6 million from the event’s $20 million purse. MacIntyre earned $2.16 million for second place, while Maverick McNealy finished third at 11-under. Saturday’s third round was highlighted by Akshay Bhatia’s first PGA Tour ace, a 5-iron strike at the 227-yard 17th that earned him a BMW SUV and funded an Evans Scholars Foundation caddie scholarship. Bhatia’s performance helped him secure the 30th and final berth in next week’s Tour Championship, where all qualifiers will start level after the PGA Tour scrapped staggered scoring. The BMW result locked in six automatic spots on the U.S. Ryder Cup team—Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau—leaving captain Keegan Bradley to decide his picks. In a separate development, Spain’s Jon Rahm clinched the LIV Golf season-long individual championship and its $18 million bonus despite losing a playoff to Colombia’s Sebastian Munoz at the circuit’s Indianapolis stop.
