Golf Digest on MSNBritish Open 2025: Xander Schauffele had the best—and most honest—quote about Scottie Scheffler's dominance
Ahead of Sunday's final round, Rory McIlroy said Scottie Scheffler is "inevitable." After Sunday's round, Xander Schauffele summed up the World No. 1's dominance even better.
The four major championships have come and gone in 2025 with three new winners being crowned across the biggest events of the season. Rory McIlroy won his Masters in dramatic fashion this April, completing the career grand slam and punching his ticket into golf's most exclusive club.
Scottie Scheffler's latest major, a thorough four-stroke win at the Open Championship, is another reminder that he's mastered golf like few have.
Scheffler was a brilliant champion at a brilliant venue. He dealt brilliantly with the inevitable and wearisome comparisons to Tiger Woods, too.
Scheffler won by four shots Sunday at Royal Portrush, his fourth major victory and first in an Open Championship.
Just three days after his existential rumination on just why he plays golf and his stirring confession that it was “not a fulfilling life,” Scheffler posted an opening 68 before accelerating to the front with a career-low major round of 64 and shooting 67 to extend his lead.
No one has made more money playing on the PGA Tour than Tiger Woods. Scottie Scheffler is quickly closing in on Big Cat.
