The Memorial 2025: Records Broken by Scottie Scheffler With Back-to-Back Win at Memorial After Tiger Woods

Wait 5 sec.

Scottie Scheffler is running it back. Again. After what was a dominant 2024 season in which he had seven landmark wins, the American golfer has begun the same trend in 2025 as well, albeit a bit late. Scheffler won the title at the Jack Nicklaus-hosted Memorial Tournament for his 16th PGA Tour win and his third victory in the last four events he has participated in.He joins Rory McIlroy as the only player to have three victories on the PGA Tour this season.The victory at the Muirfield Village Golf Club means that Scheffler has completed the title defense successfully for the third time, having done so in the WM Phoenix Open (2022 and 2023) and THE PLAYERS Championship (2023 and 2024). Only two other players have more such title defenses in the last thirty years. One is Phil Mickelson, who has five, and the other is Tiger Woods, who has 23. Some elite company to be a part of. If Scottie Scheffler closes out this win, he will have 3 successful title defenses on the PGA Tour (Phoenix, Sawgrass, Muirfield Village).Over the last 30 years, only 2 players will have had morePhil Mickelson, 5Tiger Woods, 23— Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) June 1, 2025It also marks the first time a player has won two Memorial Tournaments in a row since the great Tiger Woods completed 3 in a row from 1999 to 2001.The post The Memorial 2025: Records Broken by Scottie Scheffler With Back-to-Back Win at Memorial After Tiger Woods appeared first on EssentiallySports.
