On the PGA Tour, there is no thinner on the front line between success and failure like the Player Stadium course (the location of the Player Championship) for Player Sachs (TPC Sawgrass). There is no more impressive golfer in player history than Scottie Scheffler. The only two-time defending champion in the history of the game, his sight is on three consecutive championships and his first victory in 2025.
This week at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, ranked No. 1 in the world. After 54 holes a year ago, Schaffer found his five shots behind Xander Schauffele, but then released a bogey of 64 under 64 in the final round. Scheffler beat Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman with a stroke and beat Schauffele and Schauffele.
The flagship event of the PGA Tour came with a $25 million wallet and won $4.5 million and 750 FedEx Cup points. There are only six golfers in the history of the competition that have won more than once. Schefler hopes to join Jack Nicklaus as the only three-time winner. During its first five years of existence, the Golden Bear Three (1974, 1976 and 1978) won three players.
