Scottie Scheffler’s consistency earns him PGA Tour Player of the Year honors
The PGA Tour has named Scottie Scheffler its Player of the Year for the fourth straight season. The World No. 1 once again receives the prestigious Jack Nicklaus Award, voted on by PGA Tour members who played at least 15 events.
Scheffler’s 2025 season was a masterclass in consistency: six wins in 20 starts, 17 top-10 finishes, and his worst result being a T25. “Looking back over the last few years, what I’m most proud of is how consistent I’ve been,” Scheffler said.
PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp praised Scheffler’s performance: “Scottie’s sustained level of excellence is nothing short of spectacular.”
Rory McIlroy was also a strong contender, with wins at the Masters and Ryder Cup, completing his career Grand Slam. However, Scheffler’s volume of titles ultimately tipped the scales in his favor.
Major wins, records, and a place in history
In 2025, Scheffler added to his legacy with victories at the PGA Championship and Open Championship, bringing his career major tally to four. Only the U.S. Open remains for a career Grand Slam—he finished in the top 10 there this year.
