Ben Griffin Wins Charles Schwab Challenge in Tight Finish

Ben Griffin secured his first individual PGA Tour victory at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club, finishing 12 under par and winning by one stroke over Matti Schmid. This victory followed his recent team win alongside Andrew Novak at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, marking his emergence as a multiple-time winner on tour. Griffin's final round featured a crucial 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole, overcoming pressure after Schmid holed a 28-foot chip shot, ensuring Griffin avoided a playoff. Griffin's equipment setup is notable for its combination of Mizuno irons and a Maxfli golf ball, along with a Ping driver featuring a UST Linq Prototype shaft and TaylorMade Qi10 fairway woods designed for distance and forgiveness. The Mizuno irons he uses emphasize turf interaction and a soft muscle-back feel, tailored for elite players, reflecting the high level of precision in his gear. Griffin's rise from quitting golf to becoming a PGA Tour winner highlights a remarkable comeback and growing prominence in professional golf.
