Scottie Scheffler dominated the 153rd edition of The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, claiming his fourth victory of 2025 and major championship title. His impressive performance earned him a staggering $3.1 million in prize money and 750 FedExCup points.
Scheffler’s victory marked his fourth win this year alone, adding to his already impressive collection of majors including the Masters in 2022, 2024, and last month’s PGA Championship. The American golfer is now just a U.S. Open away from completing the career Grand Slam, with the Shinnecock Hills tournament scheduled for his 30th birthday in June 2026.
Scheffler, who was the pre-tournament favorite at +450 on FanDuel, showed remarkable adaptability to link golf, ultimately outclassing rivals such as Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele. The Northern Irish native finished seventh, while defending champion Schauffele settled for a share of seventh place alongside McIlroy.
The $3.1 million payout also secured Scheffler’s exemption into the major through his age-60 season in 2056. His impressive performance demonstrates his continued growth as a professional golfer and sets him up well for future tournaments.
