Scottie Scheffler has won again on the PGA Tour, claiming a one-shot victory at the Procore Championship.
Scheffler is nearing $100million in prize money after his success in Napa, where he edged out Ben Griffin.
He’s now a 19-time champion on the PGA Tour, with Scheffler claiming six of those wins this season alone.
The world number one carded rounds of 70, 68, 64 and 67 in California, ending his tournament on 19-under.
Griffin was expecting a Scheffler challenge, and that arrived on a dramatic final day at Silverado Resort.
Scottie Scheffler responds when asked if he will play at the 2026 Procore Championship
Scheffler has now won the Procore Championship for the first time in his career, after which he was asked about the possibility of returning to defend his title in 2026.
He responded plainly: “I mean, I barely know what I’m going to do tomorrow let alone a year from now.
“It’s always nice to have an opportunity to come and defend your championships, but we’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there. I’ve been pretty consistent with that over time.
“I don’t like committing to tournaments unless I know for sure I’m going to play. Backing out from a tournament is not a good feeling when you’ve already committed.”
Scottie Scheffler says what he finds ‘really weird’ about the 2025 schedule
Scheffler was pressed further on the matter given the scheduling of the Presidents Cup in late September, whereby the US team could use the Procore in preparation.
That was the case for the Ryder Cup this year, with Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau the only American players absent from the field.
Sharing his take, Scheffler said: “I mean, when I look at my experience from the last few team events, it’s weird to have such a long break after the season ends to one of our biggest events being either the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup.
“Those are huge for us as Americans and something we take a lot of pride in. I find it really weird there’s four or five weeks between the end of our season and a huge team event.
“So staying sharp is something that’s always important to me, but it is important to also get rest at the end of each season.
“I mean, playing tournament golf out here for an entire year, being in contention, it takes a lot out of you physically and mentally.
“So there is a balance between rest and getting ready for the team events, but going into this Ryder Cup I felt like for our preparation this was something we needed to do was come here and play this week.
“Like I said, I think we’re all feeling very prepared to go into Bethpage and excited to get that week started.”
Scheffler was indeed making his first start since the Tour Championship at East Lake, which finished in late August.
And his busy season now continues at Bethpage Black, with the world number one among the Americans in fine form heading into the Ryder Cup.
He lifted the Procore Championship trophy as Griffin took second, while their teammates J.J. Spaun and Cameron Young finished sixth and T9 respectively.
