17 Aug
Summary
- Scottie Scheffler wins 18th PGA Tour event at BMW Championship
- Scheffler intimidates field with clutch shots, including a chip-in on 17th hole
- Scheffler's run of excellence compared to Tiger Woods' peak
On August 18, 2025, Scottie Scheffler, the world's number one golfer, continued his remarkable run of success by winning the BMW Championship, his fifth victory of the 2025 PGA Tour season. Scheffler's victory came despite a four-shot lead held by Scotland's Robert MacIntyre heading into the final round.
Scheffler's ability to surge into contention and shut the door on his opponents has become a defining characteristic of his game. This was on full display at the BMW Championship, where Scheffler overcame a frustrating start to the final round to tie MacIntyre within the first five holes. From there, Scheffler took control, building a two-shot lead before MacIntyre briefly cut the deficit to one.
However, Scheffler sealed the victory in dramatic fashion on the par-3 17th hole, holing a chip shot from nearly 30 yards to extend his lead to two strokes. Scheffler's clutch play and ability to perform under pressure have drawn comparisons to the dominance of Tiger Woods during his prime. With this latest victory, Scheffler has now won five times in 2025, including two major championships, the PGA Championship and The Open.
Scheffler's remarkable run of consistency and excellence has firmly established him as the player to beat on the PGA Tour. As the season heads towards the Tour Championship and the Ryder Cup, Scheffler's rivals will be well aware of the formidable challenge he poses.
