World No.1 Scottie Scheffler now has himself a professional title in the Golden State.
Scheffler bounced back from a slow start, carding a third round 8-under 64 and a final round 67 to come from behind and win the Procore Championship at Silverado Resort in Napa by one over runner-up Ben Griffin.
While it was Scheffler’s first professional victory in California, it was not his first win in the Golden State. In 2013, Scheffler captured the U.S. Junior Amateur at Martis Camp in Lake Tahoe.
“I kind of did my best to stay in my own world and keep making birdies,” said Scheffler, who came in at 19-undeer 269. “Did a good job at staying patient and finished it off nice.”
Scheffler made his big move with the third round 64. The rest of the field’s average score for the third round was 71.055.
In the final round, Scheffler made a trio of closing pars to finish at 19-under with a one-shot lead. Needing a birdie on 18 to force a playoff, Griffin could not answer the bell. And just like that, Scheffler captured his sixth victory this year and third win in five starts.
Scheffler himself had struggled a bit in the opening round, carding a 70.
“I kind of assess the first couple rounds of the tournament, figure out what I did good, figure out what I could have improved on,” Scheffler said. “I did a much better job staying patient and being committed over the weekend than I did the first couple days of the tournament.”
For Scheffler, it marked his 19th PGA Tour win. He joined a prestigious group with that career victory tally, including fellow University of Texas alums Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite and South African Ernie Els.
“Ben and Tom Kite, a couple of awesome guys, a couple of Longhorns,” said Scheffler with a smile. “Those are two guys that I've looked up to, and Ernie as well … It’s pretty weird to be in the same realm as those guys just because I've looked up to them for such a long time. I feel very fortunate to be sitting here holding the trophy.”
Scheffler’s recent dominance needs no convincing. In addition to his six wins in 2025, which include two major championships (the PGA Championship and The Open), he extended his streak of top-eight finishes to 15. Scheffler has only finished outside of the top 20 twice this year, a T25 at the WM Phoenix Open and T20 at The Players Championship.
