Scottie Scheffler ties PGA Tour record, wins CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Scottie Scheffler claimed his first victory of 2025 by winning the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas, tying the PGA Tour’s 72-hole scoring record with a total of 253 strokes and finishing at 31-under par. The world No. 1 led wire-to-wire, ultimately winning by eight shots over Erik van Rooyen, and matched the record previously set by Justin Thomas and Ludvig Åberg. Scheffler narrowly missed breaking the record outright after a bogey on the 17th hole and a par on the 18th. The win was especially meaningful for Scheffler, who grew up attending the tournament, made his PGA Tour debut there, and celebrated the victory in front of family, including his infant son. Fellow Dallas native Jordan Spieth, who finished fourth, called Scheffler’s dominating performance 'inspiring.' The win marks Scheffler’s 14th PGA Tour title and his first since returning from a hand injury earlier in the season.
