The 2025 PGA champion Scottie Scheffler lifts the Wanamaker Trophy. Quail Hollow gives him the warm applause he’s earned. A roar. A chant of Scottie! Scottie! “I just kept hitting it left! … I knew it would be challenging … stay patient … I didn’t have my best stuff but kept myself in it … I stepped up on the back nine … I’m just proud of the way we fought … I was battling my swing the first couple of days … I’m looking forward to celebrating this one!”
He lifts the trophy again, and like Collin Morikawa before him, the lid comes flying off in the comic-book style. All good knockabout laughter, and then a few seconds after, the realisation of his achievement kicks in, and tears fill his eyes. A thumbs up. They’re the happiest tears. And it’s not long before he’s laughing again. No wonder: he’s now halfway to the career slam, and if he keeps going like this, it might not take him too long to complete the set.
