Scottie Scheffler Wins Procore Championship
|Scottie Scheffler captured his sixth victory of the 2025 PGA Tour season by edging Ben Griffin at the Procore Championship, held at the Silverado Resort’s North Course in Napa, California—marking a perfect tune-up for ten American players preparing for the Ryder Cup in two weeks.
Silverado had its strongest field, with all but two of the U.S. Ryder Cup participants on hand, and largest crowds since the event moved to Napa eleven years ago.
Scheffler’s Dominant Performance
Scheffler rallied from a two-shot deficit in the final round, shooting a 5-under 67 on Sunday to finish at 19-under, securing a dramatic one-stroke win over Ben Griffin.
“Overall it was a good prep week getting ready for the Ryder Cup,” Scheffler said. “As far as the tournament went, I did some good stuff over the course of four days, especially over the weekend. Felt like my game got better as the week went on and played some really nice golf Saturday and Sunday to be sitting here.”
With this victory, Scheffler ties Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite for 19 career PGA Tour wins, matching the most by a Texas Longhorn, and joins Tiger Woods as one of only two players to have consecutive seasons with at least six wins in the last forty years.
“I feel like I’m as prepared as possible for the Ryder Cup, and I think we’re all excited for the tournament to get started,” Scheffler added. “We’ve got three days in New York to compete and have fun. We’re all looking forward to it.”
Ben Griffin’s Early Surge and Narrow Miss
Charles Schwab Challenge champion Ben Griffin, who began the day with a two-shot lead, quickly expanded his advantage with three consecutive birdies but faltered late, including costly bogeys on the fourth and fourteenth holes.
Griffin birdied the 15th to stay in contention and had a chance for a playoff on the par-5 18th, but three-putted from 60 feet, finishing at 18-under.
This marked Griffin’s 10th top-15 finish in 12 events since the PGA Championship, underscoring a breakout year for the young American.
Lanto Griffin and Jackson Koivun Shine
Lanto Griffin surged with a tournament-best 7-under final round to take solo third at 17-under, showcasing consistency amid a deep field of Ryder Cup contenders.
“One of my goals this week was to give myself a chance,” Griffin said. “I kind of wish Scottie wasn’t here, but I’m sure the fans enjoyed it.”
Auburn standout and world No. 1 amateur Jackson Koivun played alongside the leaders, holding his own through Saturday and entering Sunday’s final group just one shot behind Griffin.
Koivun ultimately tied for fourth after a solid, but slightly tentative, closing stretch; this marked his fourth consecutive top-11 finish as an amateur on Tour,
Ryder Cup Prep
This year’s Procore field doubled as a Ryder Cup training camp: ten of America’s team members teed it up, with Captain Keegan Bradley on site to foster camaraderie and competitive sharpness ahead of the Sept. 26–28 matches at Bethpage Black.
Scheffler’s win injects confidence into Team USA, which includes other top finishers, such as Griffin, J.J. Spaun, and Cameron Young.
The American squad is now battle-ready, hoping to leverage this momentum at the Ryder Cup—a stark contrast to 2023, when concern over competitive rust plagued their trip to Italy.
