PGA Tour's Truist Championship: Top Players, Scheffler Absent in Philadelphia

Scottie Scheffler dominated and won the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch with a score of 31-under, fulfilling his status as the tournament favorite. Several other top contenders, including Byeong Hun An, Sungjae Im, Taylor Pendrith, and Ben Griffin, underperformed or missed the cut, with Pendrith notably failing to defend his 2024 title after missing the weekend by one stroke. The cut line for the Byron Nelson was five-under, and other notable players like Tom Kim also failed to advance beyond the second round. Meanwhile, the upcoming PGA Championship will return to Quail Hollow Club, which last hosted the event in 2017, and features a strong field, though Tiger Woods is not expected to participate due to injury. Scottie Scheffler will skip the Truist Championship at Philadelphia Cricket Club, likely for rest, as he prepares for the PGA Championship and other key tournaments. In the LPGA, several prominent players, including Linnea Strom and Patty Tavatanakit, missed the cut at the 2025 Black Desert Championship in Utah.
