PGA Championship 2025: Winners and losers as Scottie Scheffler hoists the Wanamaker Trophy

The 107th PGA Championship wrapped up Sunday with Scottie Scheffler winning in dominant fashion on the back nine at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C. Here are 10 winners and losers from the second men's professional golf major championship this year. PGA Championship Winner: Scottie Scheffler Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images From being locked up and getting arrested last year to hoisting the trophy, Scottie Scheffler played like a World No. 1 this week. In addition, the notion of Scheffler winning a major only at Augusta National has come to an end with his win Sunday for his first Wanamaker Trophy. Scheffler grew his lead to six entering the final three holes, also known as the Green Mile, leading to a five-shot win. Loser: Jon Rahm Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images Jon Rahm had a three-hole stretch where he had the chance to keep up with Scheffler. However, the Green Mile got to Rahm. He bogeyed the 16th before recording double bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes. He went from potentially finishing as the runner-up to finishing tied for eighth. Winner: Ryan Gerard Credit: Erik Williams-Imagn Images In Ryan Gerard's first PGA Championship, he has one to remember. He finished tied for eighth place while having the 18-hole lead after Thursday. This week marks Gerard's third top-10 finish this season and first since being the runner-up at the Valero Texas Open. Loser: Hideki Matsuyama Credit: Michael Madrid-Imagn Images Hideki Matsuyama went home early on Friday after missing the cut. That ends a streak of 19 consecutive made cuts at a major championship, dating back to the 2019 Open Championship. He shot 3-over par for the tournament, which included struggling in Friday's second round. On Friday alone, Matsuyama ranked 123rd with -1.012 strokes gained around the green and 127th in both strokes gained off the tee (-0.891) and tee to green (-2.515). Winner: Matt Fitzpatrick Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Matt Fitzpatrick had a solid week at the PGA Championship, finishing tied with Rahm in eighth place at 4-under par. Fitzpatrick recorded his best finish this season. It is also his second top-five finish at the PGA Championship since 2022. Loser: Jordan Spieth Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images In an opportunity to once again achieve the career grand slam, Jordan Spieth will have to wait another year. Like Lowry, Spieth missed the cut by one shot. He struggled on the first day, shooting 5-over 76 to derail his chances. Spieth recorded seven bogeys Thursday, including six over his final 10 holes. He tried to make the cut after shooting 3-under 68 and hoped the cutline got pushed back to 2-over par, but it did not. Winner: Harris English, PGA Championship runner-up Credit: Michael Madrid-Imagn Images Harris English made his eighth PGA Championship start and tied for second for his best finish at a major championship. His shot a final round 6-under 65 which was the best round of the day to finish in place. He made five birdies on the back nine Sunday, including four in a five-hole stretch. Loser: Shane Lowry Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Shane Lowry's luck did not go in his favor over the first two days. The Irishman's shot on the par-4 eighth landed in the fairway, but in a divot, resulting in the ball being embedded. However, the rules official did not allow him to take relief and play it as it lies. He eventually went on to bogey the hole and missed the cut by one stroke. It marks his second missed cut at a major championship since the 2022 U.S. Open. That is eight made cuts in the last 10 majors. Winners: Si Woo Kim and Eric Cole Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images There is always gratitude in the players getting the chance to play in a major, like the PGA Championship. One great moment to remember the week by is getting a hole-in-one. On Thursday, Eric Cole achieved that on the par-3 fourth from 186 yards. It also marked his first ace in an individual stroke play event while on the PGA Tour. Advertisement 24 hours later, Si Woo Kim aced the par-3 sixth from 252 yards out. It was his sixth hole-in-one on the PGA Tour since 2016, the most in that span. Of those six, two have come at majors with the other taking place during last year's Open Championship. He also became the first player with a hole-in-one in back-to-back major seasons since Scott Hoch recorded an ace at the 2001 PGA Championship and the 2002 U.S. Open. Loser: Michael Block Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images The Block party looks like it has come to an end after his heroics from a couple of years ago. Michael Block shot a four-over 75 before shooting an 11-over 82 on Friday to miss the cut. Block had two bogeys and two double bogeys in a four-hole stretch early on Friday before closing with a bogey and two double bogeys in his final three holes.

PGA Championship: Turtles Damage Bunker, Go Viral Saving Gerard's Day

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Golf courses have long been a playground for reptiles, offering them ample space to explore. In March, during the Houston Open, cameras hilariously captured a caddie removing a turtle from the course—while it peed. But it seems like turtles weren't done making their presence felt in professional golf, as they turned heads again, this time at the PGA Championship's Quail Hollow. As the second major of the season kicked off with soft greens, Kardashian drama and 'mud ball' controversy, two uninvited visitors added another layer of drama to the event. The turtles again! CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 15: A common snapping turtle sits on the 15th hole fairway during the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 15, 2025 in Charlotte,... CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 15: A common snapping turtle sits on the 15th hole fairway during the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 15, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) More Getty Images The first turtle made its appearance when PGA Tour's Ryan Gerard managed to salvage his par at the 14th hole. Meanwhile, the second turtle proved to be far more stubborn, delaying the first round after wreaking havoc in a bunker on the same hole. There was a literaly delay in play as tournament organizers were forced to address the wrecked bunker left behind by one of the turtles. Despite the disruptions, the first shelled intruder ended up playing an indirect role in saving the day for one of the tournament's top contenders. Turtle Saves Ryan Gerard's Round at Quail Hollow Playing in a major championship is the pinnacle for many golfers, and for Ryan Gerard, it was no different. The PGA Tour pro found himself in the top two on the PGA Championship leaderboard, living out a dream on home turf. "It's kind of always been a dream to play a major championship in my home state." "I have a lot of fond memories of Quail Hollow and went out there and played really solid for almost the entire day, and I'm really happy with how everything went," Gerard reflected after stunning first round of 5-under-par. But beyond his stellar performance, an unexpected guest, 'a snapping turtle' played a role he will never forget. Turtle to the rescue 💀 — Fore Play (@ForePlayPod) May 15, 2025 With six birdies and an eagle, Gerard was putting on a show. But as he approached the 14th hole, his momentum appeared as though it would come to an end. His chip shot rolled well past the hole and off the green. It had enough speed that the ball may have continued into the water, if not for the turtle, who was there to save the day. As TV cameras zoomed in to locate his ball, a small head poked out from the grass. However, former PGA Champion Rich Beem, who was sharing broadcasting duties then, quickly corrected the assumption. "That's a snapping turtle." "That will rip your finger off," he added. The turtle briefly examined the course before moving back to the lake. Interestingly, it also earned a warm round of applause from spectators. Shortly after, Gerard pulled off an eagle on the 566-yard 15th hole, solidifying his position at the top of the leaderboard—something big names like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson failed to do.

5 things to know about Ryan Gerard, who was leading the PGA Championship

CHARLOTTE, N. C. – Ryan Gerard was a surprise leader at the 107th PGA Championship after shooting 5-under 67. Gerard reeled off four straight birdies starting at No. 10 and chipped in at 15 for eagle. He had it to 7 under but The Green Mile, the three devilish finishing holes at Quail Hollow Club, bit back with bogeys on the last two holes. Here are 5 things to know about Gerard, a 25-year-old pro in his first full season as a card-carrying member of the PGA Tour and making his PGA Championship debut. Playing golf since he could walk CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 15: Ryan Gerard of the United States looks over a putt on the 18th hole during the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 15, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) "My parents gave me a super-cut-down putter when I was just old enough to walk. I don't remember this, but I hear stories about I would go into the playground at daycare and swing shovels and rakes and stuff like that. And they kept getting mad at my parents because it was like a safety hazard and I was going to take an eye out." Childhood neighbor of Grayson Murray "In 2005, I moved to the right side of the 15th holes at Wildwood Green Golf Club. I would sneak out without telling my parents I was going to play. Advertisement "Grayson Murray was the top golfer. He grew up five houses down the road from me. When I was six years old, he was 12 and went out of his way to be nice to me and made sure that I felt welcome when they were having chipping contests and going out to play." Watching Tiger and Vijay at Quail Hollow in 2007 "I just remember going out Saturday, I believe. Watched Tiger and Vijay Singh battle down the stretch for me as a young kid, that really was just starting to get into competitive golf and really loving the game; it was surreal, almost, to see those two guys kind of doing it," Gerard said. That day, he sat at the range with a notebook and scribbled down his thoughts on their various swings. Years later, when his parents were packing up to move, his father, Bob, found that notebook. On one page, it said, 'Phil Mickelson swing good.' On the next page, it said, 'Tiger Woods swing great.' Tarheel Blue and making par at Quail's 18th CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 15: Ryan Gerard of the United States looks over an approach shot during the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 15, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) Gerard turned pro in 2022 after playing collegiately at the University of North Carolina and felt the local support today, wearing some Carolina blue. Advertisement "They show out for their guys in light blue. I heard so many 'Go Heels' today and just appreciate everyone that's supporting," he said. When asked about Alex Smalley, a fellow Carolina native that he's known for years, Gerard said, "He's fantastic. Unfortunately he went to Duke. So you know, I can't be too nice to him." Gerard recalled that he moved into his dorm in Chapel Hill in August 2017, the same week that Justin Thomas won the PGA at Quail Hollow. A few weeks later, his college team played one of its first rounds there and the grandstands were still in place. "So we thought that was pretty cool," Gerard said. "In 2018, so six months after the PGA, we came out here as preparation for the NCAA nationals and our coach made all six of us go on 18 tee and everyone had to play the 18th hole until all six made a par and at the same time in the same group…You just didn't want to be that one guy that had like the 10-footer for par that missed it for everyone to go back. So I mean, it probably took an hour or so but it was fun and we did make it happen eventually. We weren't going to leave unless we made that happen." Unique golf swing Gerard has a golf swing that is all his own, and he once shared the best description of it: 'I've been told my swing looks like Daniel Berger and Jon Rahm had an aneurysm."

'I had a really good foundation with Carl Lohren, and Jason has really done a good job building on that,' Gerard said.
