World number one Scottie Scheffler produced a dominant display at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, cruising to victory in front of a home crowd at TPC Craig Ranch with a phenomenal 31-under-par total — equalling the lowest 72-hole score in PGA Tour history.
The Dallas-born golfer carded rounds of 61, 63, 66 and 63 to post a four-round total of 253, tying the all-time scoring record set by Justin Thomas (2017) and Ludvig Åberg (2023). It was a wire-to-wire win, with Scheffler never relinquishing the lead from day one.
Speaking after the final round, Scheffler, who made his PGA Tour debut at this very event over a decade ago, called it a "dream come true" to finally win his hometown tournament. “I grew up watching this event as a kid. To now lift the trophy here, with my family by my side, means everything,” he said.

Scheffler takes home $1.782 million of the $9.9 million prize fund and notches up his 14th PGA Tour title — all since 2021. His performance also cements his place as the man to beat this season, and eyes will now turn to the upcoming majors to see if he can carry this red-hot form forward.
