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.

18:21
Pendrith two early birdies

Pendrith -4 (4)

Solid start from Canada's Pendrith.

He's just birdied the 2nd and 4th to progress to 4-under par. 

17:52
McIlroy water

McIlroy +3 (14)

McIlroy drives way left into the water on the short par-4 14th.

He fails to get up and down and it leads to a bogey-five on the easiest hole on the course.

Rory just wants to get out of here.

He's shunned the media ever since Tuesday when news emerged about his driver having failed a CT test with the USGA. 

Doubt we'll speak to him today either. 

17:50
Schauffele and Burns going low

Schauffele, Burns -3 (14)

Defending champion Xander Schauffele and Sam Burns are 5-under par for their rounds thru 14.

That's the low round of the day so far.

The leading group tees off in exactly two hours from now at 2.50pm local time. 

16:47
HOMA STROP!

Homa +2 (3) 

Max Homa has just seen red! 

After finding the back of the green with his third shot into the 495-yard par-4 3rd, Homa flung his iron in frustration 50 yards in front of him.

He chipped up to six feet and then missed the bogey putt.

A double sends him to 2-over par. 

 

16:44
McIlroy birdie at 8

McIlroy +2 (9)

McIlroy gets up and down for birdie on the short par-4 8th to move back to level on the round.

He's just narrowly missed a 30-footer for birdie on the tough par-4 9th.

16:21
Burns another birdie

Burns -3 (8)

Burns makes another birdie, this time from  two feet on the short par-4 8th.

He's not going to win his first major but he's certainly making a late charge. 

16:11
Burns low round in progress

Burns -2 (7)

Burns has just drained an eagle from 18 feet on the par-5 7th.

The American has got the low round of the day going of the morning groups.

Burns is up to 2-under par.

Birdie for McIlroy

McIlroy +3 (5)

A first birdie of the day for Rory.

He converts a five footer on 5.

15:37
Scottie hype video

Will Scottie see out his major hat-trick?

The bookies think so. 

Scheffler is priced up at a warm 2/9 shot to win the PGA Championship ahead of the final round. 

If Scottie wins the PGA he will be half way to the career grand slam.

And who's to say he won't go and win the U.S Open and The Open this summer to get it done in 2025? 

15:34
Shocking start from Rory

McIlroy +4 (3)

Rory's woes continue with a second bogey on the par-4 3rd. 

He once again found the greenside bunker with his approach shot and failed to get up and down.

15:20
Burns fast start

Burns Par (3)

Sam Burns has got off to a nice start.

He's opened with a pair of birdies on 1 and 2 and made a par on 3. 

15:19
Bogey at 1 for McIlroy

McIlroy +3 (2)

McIlroy makes bogey at the 1st after failing to get up and down for par.

He's just made par on 2.

Awful start for Rory.

He's just not had it this week. 

14:59
Garcia low round in progress

Garcia +6 (8)

Sergio Garcia may have found himself bottom of the board starting the final round, but the LIV Golf star is playing some of his best stuff on Sunday.

Garcia has just popped in a third birdie of the round on the 8th to move to 3-under for his round and to 6-over par for the tournament. 

It's the lowest round in progress so far of the early groups. 

Garcia is looking to throw his hat into the ring to once again return to the European Ryder Cup team this September.

He will be looking to pick up a win on LIV Golf and play well in the remaining majors this season to give himself a shot of making Luke Donald's team.

Garcia certainly has the experience having won the most points ever in Ryder Cup history with 28.5.

McIlroy tees off in 40 mins

McIlroy +2 

Rory McIlroy gets his final round underway alongside Chriatiaan Bezuidenhout at 9.50am.

That is 2.50pm UK time. 

McIlroy has played badly this week by his own high standards.

He has refused to speak with the media ever since news emerged that his driver was found to be non-conforming on Tuesday afternoon. 

The Masters champion starts the final day at 2-over par.

It's now just a case of pride for Rory.

Will he finally take it low at Quail Hollow, a venue where he has won a record four times on the PGA Tour?

Let's wait and see...
