PGA Championship LIVE: Final Round as it happened; Scottie Scheffler wins third career major title

PGA Championship LIVE: see how the final round played out at the 2025 PGA Championship where Scottie Scheffler captured his third career major title at Quail Hollow Club.

Scottie Scheffler has captured his third major title with a deserved victory at the 2025 PGA Championship. 

Scheffler, 28, is now half way to the career grand slam having already won The Masters in 2022 and 2024. 

The World No.1 has now won 15 times on the PGA Tour.

He has also won his last two starts. 

Scheffler held a commanding three-shot lead over Alex Noren entering the final round in golf's second major of the season at Quail Hollow Club. 

His advantage completely evaporated by the time he made the turn as a result of some sloppy mistakes and Rahm charging at him. 

But he kept his composure down the closing stretch with clutch birdies on the 10th, 14th and 15th to surge clear once again. 

Rahm then fully handed the initiative to Scheffler when making a bogey on the 16th.

The wheels then well and truly came off for Rahm who went on to make doubles at both the 17th and 18th. 

Scheffler was able to play the closing feared three-hole Green Mile stretch with a a huge lead.

Despite a bogey on the tough par-4 18th, Scheffler carded a 71 to cruise to a five-shot victory on 11-under par.

LIV Golf superstar Bryson DeChambeau (70) once again continued his impressive form to finish runner-up on 6-under par.

He was joined on that score by Harris English (65) and Davis Riley (72). 

Taylor Pendrith (68), Jhonattan Vegas (72) and JT Poston (73) rounded out the top five on 5-under par.

RAHM ANOTHER WATER BALL!

The wheels have well and truly fallen off for LIV Golf superstar Rahm.

Rahm has just gone way left off the tee at the par-4 18th and his ball has bounded into the water. 

Not that he needs the dough, but he's costing himself plenty of it right now.

RAHM WATER BALL!

They think it's all over...

It is now. 

Rahm has just plonked his ball in the water on the par-3 17th. 

He took his drop and then played his third into the heart of the green.

Rahm will make a double-bogey five to fall back to 6-under par.

Bogey for Rahm

22:49
Scheffler two ahead

Scheffler -11 (14)

Huge birdie at the short par-4 14th for our leader Scheffler. 

The World No.1 came up just shy of the green with his tee shot and he then chipped past the hole to eight feet.

Scheffler then drained the crucial birdie putt to move to 11-under par and two shots clear of Rahm, who has just found the greenside bunker with his approach shot into the par-4 16th. 

It looks all over, but anything can happen on The Green Mile as we have seen before down the years.

Rahm blows another big chance

Rahm -9 (15) 

Rahm split the fairway at the par-5 15th and then sent a fantastic iron shot just over the back of the green.

He putted his third shot past the hole to 12 feet but could not convert the crucial birdie attempt. 

Scheffler has just made par on the par-3 13th to remain at 10-under par.

The World No.1 now has two huge scoring opportunities at the short par-4 14th and par-5 15th. 

Rahm will need to find something on The Green Mile now - one of the toughest three-hole stretches in world golf.

Bradley on a late surge

Bradley -5 (15)

It's not going to be a second career PGA win for Bradley but the 2025 US Ryder Cup captain is making a late surge. 

He's just birdied the 13th and 14th and then rolled in an eagle from 30 feet on the par-5 15th.

Bradley to 5-under par and just outside the top five. 

Despite his impressive showing this week, Bradley has confirmed he will not pick himself on the Ryder Cup team. 

Should he continue his good play and earn a place automatically, then that could be a different scenario for him.

Birdie for DeChambeau, bogey for Fitzpatrick

DeChambeau -7 (15), Fitzpatrick -6 (16)

A birdie-bogey swing in the race for third place.

DeChambeau makes birdie on the par-5 15th to move to 7-under par alongside JT Poston.

Fitzpatrick meanwhile makes bogey on the par-4 16th up ahead to fall back to 6-under par. 

It's looking highly unlikely Bryson wins a third career major and first PGA this week, but the fans are absolutely loving him once more.

Scheffler -10 (11)

Scheffler's turn to come agonisingly close to a birdie.

The World No.1 stood over a 15-footer for birdie on the par-4 11th after finding the heart of the green with his approach shot.

Par for Scheffler.

One ahead.  

Playing partner Noren has just made another bogey to fall out of contention on 5-under par.

Rahm lips out for birdie

Rahm -9 (13)

Rahm just came agonisingly close to tying things back up with Scheffler.

The Spaniard sent a beautiful iron shot into the left side of the green to some 30 feet.

Rahm then putted his ball down the slope from left to right and his ball lipped out on the left side.

He was walking after it two feet out and looked in for all the world.

But he was denied. 

So close for Rahm. 

He remains one back.

Jon Rahm ties the lead

J. Rahm -9 (11*)

Jon Rahm finds the fairway bunker with his tee shot at the 10th.

Yes!

Scheffler bogeys...

S. Scheffler -9, A. Noren -7 (9)

Wow. What is going on with Scottie Scheffler right now?

A the 9th, Scheffler hooks his drive left into the thick rough and can only muscle his second just short of the green. A sloppy pitch races by the cup and he's scrambling for from 25 feet.

He two-putts for bogey.

Meanwhile, there are cheers from the spectator's following Jon Rahm...

21:41
Rahm closes to within two...

Rahm -8 (10)

Well, well...

Rahm has a crack at the par-5 10th in two strokes. 

The Spaniard doesn't appear to like his approach with his 3-wood as his left hand flies off the club just after impact.

It's okay, though, and the LIV recruit fires a wedge from 68 feet to gimme range. 

Birdie. 

How you feeling, Scottie?

21:36
Will Bryson close the gap?

DeChambeau -6 (12*)

Bryson departs the difficult par-4 11th with a par. 

At the 12th, his 350-yard drive finds the middle of the fairway.

From 97 yards, he zips a wedge to about seven feet or so for birdie...

Scheffler misses a good opportunity

Scheffler -10, Noren -7 (8)

The 8th is very much a birdie hole today and the leader and chaser walk off the green with pars.

Scheffler sends his tee shot left and plays a relatively simple chip to around 12 feet but misses low. 

Noren's tee shot ends up just short of the green in the thick rough and his delightful chip stops some nine fee from the hole.

The Swede appears to misread his birdie putt as that dreadful attempt never even threatened the hole. 

The lead remains three. 

21:24
Rahm keeps his clean card going

Rahm -7 (9)

Rahm finds the second cut of rough with his tee shot at the 9th and overcooks his approach. 

His golf ball settles at the back of the green and he opts to gently nudge his third back down the hill. 

From five feet, Rahm finds the middle of the cup to keep his bogey-free round going.
