Although many PGA Tour events are somewhat diluted without the LIV Golf players in attendance, you can’t argue with Scottie Scheffler’s title of being the World #1 golfer. Last week he earned his 14th PGA TOUR in his 139th start at the age of 28 years, 10 months.

At the 2025 CJ CUP Byron Nelson, Scottie fired rounds of 61, 63, 66 and 63 for a total of -31, matching the low 72-hole score in PGA TOUR history (since 1983); previous instances of 253: Ludvig Åberg (2023 RSM Classic), Justin Thomas (2017 Sony Open in Hawaii); previous low 72-hole score in CJ CUP Byron Nelson history: 259 (Steven Bowditch/2015); previous low 72-hole score of the 2025 season: 257 (Hideki Matsuyama/The Sentry); previous low 72-hole score by Scheffler: 258 (2024 Travelers Championship).

He earns 14th PGA TOUR in his 139th start at the age of 28 years, 10 months and is the 72nd player in PGA TOUR history to reach 14 wins; moves to T65 on the all-time wins list

His eight-stroke margin is second-largest margin of victory in CJ CUP Byron Nelson history (10 strokes/Sam Snead/1957); largest margin of victory of the 2025 season on TOUR (previous: 7 strokes/Thomas Detry/WM Phoenix Open); last winning margin of eight or more strokes on TOUR: 11 strokes (Dustin Johnson/2020 FedEx St. Jude Championship); Scheffler’s previous largest margin of victory: 5 strokes (two times; 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, 2023 PLAYERS Championship)

The Reigning FedExCup champion earns 500 FedExCup points, moving from No. 4 to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings and extends his streak as World No. 1 to 103 consecutive weeks (third-longest streak all-time); extends his World No. 1 total weeks to 138 (third-most all-time)
