This Scottie Scheffler 2025 PGA Tour Season Stat Will Blow Your Mind
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. The 2025 season got off to a rough start for Scottie Scheffler, but things are already looking more and more like they did last year. After regaining his form following hand surgery last December, he's approaching to be the same player he's been for the past couple of years. If any doubts remained, golf statistician Justin Ray dispelled them completely by sharing a mind-blowing statistic: "Scottie Scheffler is now averaging more strokes gained approach per round this season (+1.30) on the PGA Tour than last season (+1.27)," Ray posted on X. Scottie Scheffler is now averaging more strokes gained approach per round this season (+1.30) on the PGA Tour than last season (+1.27). — Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) May 26, 2025 That is a significant fact because this is probably the area of play in which Scheffler excels the most and it contributes significantly to his extraordinary results. He has led the PGA Tour in 'approach the green' in both 2024 and thus far in 2025. However, the analysis changes a little when considering only the period up to the Charles Schwab Challenge and not the entire 2024 season. By that point a year ago, Scheffler had gained 1.35 strokes approaching the green and had already earned four wins. The bottom line is that the Ridgewood, New Jersey, native is performing similarly to how he performed in 2024 at this point in the season, though slightly less impressively, which is completely normal considering he started the season late and wasn't at full capacity.

More Getty Images/Sam Hodde Naturally, Scheffler's approach skills combine with many others within his impressive set. One of the most interesting is his ability to post good scores in difficult and even very difficult course conditions. According to Betsperts Golf Content Manager Ryan Noonan, Scheffler has been the best player on the PGA Tour in these types of conditions for the past three years — by a significant margin. For example, the data indicates that he has gained strokes tee-to-green in 96.61% of the rounds he has played under such circumstances. I was looking at this the other day, and it blew me away. Last 3 years in difficult or very difficult scoring conditions, he's gained strokes T2G in over 96% of his rounds. (nearly 20% better than Xander at 77.97%) — Ryan Noonan (@RyNoonan) May 26, 2025 For comparison, the second-best player in this category, Xander Schauffele, trails Scheffler by nearly 20%. The three-time major winner also has positive records in difficult and very difficult conditions in almost all major statistical categories over the past three years. In fact, the only category he is not gaining at least 60% (50.85%) is putting (his great nemesis). Given his performance, it's no coincidence that Scheffler has earned all 15 of his PGA Tour victories from 2022 to date, along with two Hero World Challenge titles and an Olympic gold medal. He is, quite simply, the best in the world. More Golf: Angel Cabrera Gets Back-to-Back Majors, Wins Senior PGA Championship

Ben Griffin's Emotional Journey from Losing his House to PGA Tour Winner
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. PGA Tour professional Ben Griffin won the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, largely thanks to his exceptional performance around the green and his excellent putting skills. Following his one-shot victory at Colonial, Griffin got highly emotional. Griffin gained 2.418 strokes around the green and 6.485 putter in hand. Naturally, such a remarkable performance was the subject of questions during the winner's press conference, as reporters wanted insights of Griffin's game. Ben Griffin of the United States talks to media during press conference after winning the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 25, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas. Ben Griffin of the United States talks to media during press conference after winning the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 25, 2025 in Fort Worth, was mostly intended to be a technical analysis from the 29-year-old player turned into a moment of remembrance of very difficult times. "My parents did so much for me growing up," Griffin said, soaking up his tears. "They got hit hard by the recession, the 2008 recession, and so they invested a lot in me being able to practice and compete." "I didn't spend very much money on range balls. I was at a public golf course and I would chip and putt all day. I'd hit maybe a half bucket of balls for $5 or whatever it was." "My parents, you know, we did they always consider themselves middle to upper class, but I knew there for a little bit, when we lost our house, when we lost everything, I know they they sacrificed a lot for me, and I credit a lot of my success down the stretch today to my short game." "It kept me in it, and that's what I did as a kid. That's what helped my short game be so good down the stretch today." Griffin won the Charles Schwab Challenge with a score of 12 under par, finishing one stroke ahead of Matti Schmid. He shot 66, 63, 68, and 71 to take the title. The Chapel Hill, North Carolina native is having the best run of his career. He won his first PGA Tour title a month ago at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, teaming up with Andrew Novak. Just a week ago, he finished tied for eighth at the PGA Championship, his best finish in a major championship. Griffin has played in 18 of the 20 PGA Tour tournaments this season (excluding opposite events). His two wins have earned him four top-10 finishes, and he has missed four cuts. These results are even more impressive when you consider that Griffin abandoned his professional golf career in 2021 and even took a job as a mortgage loan officer. In order to return to the PGA Tour, he had to earn his way through the Korn Ferry Tour and only reached the top level two seasons ago.

Charles Schwab Challenge: $9.5 Million Payout at Colonial, Revealed
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. The 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge is in the books, and it ended with a spectacular victory for Ben Griffin. The 29-year-old claimed his second PGA Tour title and the lion's share of the $9.5 million purse at Colonial Country Club. Griffin was tied for the lead with Matti Schmid after 54 holes, and although the American did not play his best golf in the fourth round, the same happened to the German, who eventually finished one shot behind. The winner started the round on a high, carding an eagle and a birdie on the first two holes, but the rest of the round was a completely different story, with four bogeys and no birdies (1-over for the round). Schmid, on the other hand, carded six birdies on Sunday, but also five bogeys and a double bogey on the fifth hole, which proved to be decisive for the final result. The German hit his tee shot into the trees, ending in a penalty stroke, and then missed a putt inside 10 feet for bogey.
