On Sunday 18 May, Rolex Testimonee Scottie Scheffler delivered a commanding performance at Quail Hollow Club to win the 2025 PGA Championship. Following a hard-fought battle for the coveted Wanamaker Trophy, the American separated himself from the field in the closing stages to win by five strokes. The victory marks Scheffler’s third major title and his first triumph at the PGA Championship — a defining moment in his career and a milestone that further elevates his continued legacy in the sport and place among golf’s modern greats.
The PGA Championship is the second major championship of the season, and the 107th edition brought together the world’s best players in a hotly contested affair. Quail Hollow, a course renowned for its demanding layout and storied history, once again proved a fitting stage for Scheffler to showcase the qualities that have come to define his career: relentless consistency, calmness under pressure, and exceptional ball-striking. The formidable setup of the course mirrored the intensity of the championship, setting the scene for a week of drama and elite competition. Rolex has celebrated human achievement at the highest levels of golf for almost 60 years, further reinforcing its commitment by becoming Official Timekeeper and Official Partner of the PGA Championship.
Having finished fourth at the Masters Tournament and claiming victory at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson, Scheffler entered the tournament in impressive form. Navigating the demanding course with control and confidence, the World No. 1 carded rounds of 68, 67, 66, and 71, posting a winning total of 11-under-par, holding off a strong international field in a tightly contested final round.
To succeed at the PGA Championship requires accuracy, consistency and unwavering determination — qualities not only exemplified by Scheffler’s peerless composure and poise, but also aligned with Rolex’s own pioneering spirit and quest for perpetual excellence, in its watchmaking and all other endeavours. Known for its tree-lined fairways and rich tournament pedigree, Quail Hollow Club delivered a world-class stage for major championship golf as it hosted the 2025 PGA Championship. Having previously welcomed the event in 2017, when Rolex Testimonee Justin Thomas claimed his maiden PGA Championship title, the Charlotte-based course provided a fitting arena for a thrilling contest among the world’s best players. Scheffler’s composed and commanding performance across the four days culminated in a well-earned victory — one that will be etched into the tournament’s illustrious history. His trademark discipline, strategic brilliance and resolute focus throughout the championship reflect the enduring values that define Rolex’s legacy in the game.
Receiving the iconic Wanamaker Trophy on the 18th green to resounding applause from the fans, Scheffler reflected on the magnitude of the moment by saying: “You work your whole lifetime to have a chance to win one of these tournaments, and I had a great opportunity to win one today. I felt like this was as hard as I battled for a tournament in my career. This was a pretty challenging week. I played with it a little bit more than I would have liked to, but I stepped up when we needed to, and it was a pretty special week.”
