Scottie Scheffler secured his fifth PGA Tour win of the 2025 season by capturing the BMW Championship on August 17. Entering the final round four strokes behind leader Robert MacIntyre, Scheffler quickly closed the gap, tying the lead after five holes and eventually taking a one-shot lead. A pivotal moment came at the 17th hole when Scheffler made an 81-foot chip-in birdie from the greenside rough, extending his lead to two strokes and effectively sealing the victory. This win marked Scheffler's first without his regular caddie, Ted Scott, who missed the tournament, with a substitute caddie assisting and reportedly earning a substantial payday. Scheffler's performance continues a dominant stretch, with five wins in his last ten starts and two major titles since Augusta. He joins Tiger Woods as one of the few golfers since 2000 to have multiple seasons with five or more wins. Scheffler also leads the automatic qualifiers for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, alongside players such as J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, and Bryson DeChambeau. The victory further solidifies Scheffler's position as the FedExCup No. 1 and enhances his odds (+165) to win the upcoming Tour Championship. The BMW Championship win adds to Scheffler's impressive record of 18 wins over the past four seasons.
