Scottie Scheffler Wins 2025 PGA Championship Third Major Trophy Mishap

Scottie Scheffler won the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, capturing his third major title and first non-Masters major victory with a final score of 11-under. During the trophy ceremony, a humorous mishap occurred when the top of the Wanamaker Trophy slipped off as Scheffler lifted it, an incident reminiscent of similar moments involving Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy in previous years. Despite the mishap, Scheffler remained composed and celebrated his win, which solidified his place among golf legends by becoming the third player to win 15 PGA Tour events and three majors before age 29, joining Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Scheffler's victory ended his streak of missing the early season due to hand surgery and marked a dominant performance, especially on the back nine, where he held off Jon Rahm, who faltered on the final holes. The tournament also highlighted other notable performances, including Ryan Gerard's impressive top-10 finish in his first PGA Championship and Hideki Matsuyama's early exit after a streak of 19 consecutive made cuts at majors. Scheffler's achievement and the trophy mishap underscore both his growing legacy and the iconic status of the Wanamaker Trophy in professional golf.
