Scheffler captured the 2025 PGA Tour Player of the Year (Jack Nicklaus Award) for the fourth straight season, joining Tiger Woods as the only players to win four consecutive honors.

He led the season with six victories, including major titles at the PGA Championship and The Open, putting him on the cusp of a career Grand Slam.

Voting was competitive, with Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Ben Griffin also on the ballot, though vote totals were not disclosed.

The story remains developing, with potential further updates to come.

Scheffler posted a caption on social media reading, “Very grateful and honored.”

A late-2024 hand injury from slicing his hand while making ravioli caused a nearly two-month layoff before a strong Masters run.

His year included a notable comeback after the ravioli-hand injury, followed by sustained high finishes and a surge into the postseason.

A retrospective look at Scheffler’s year and path to the award underscores the season’s significance.

After the announcement, Scheffler shared a collage of his 2025 winning moments on Instagram with the caption “Player of the Year.”

He finished in the top 25 in all 20 starts, with 17 top-10s, underscoring remarkable consistency.

Key victories included the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, The Open (Royal Portrush), the BMW Championship, and the Procore Championship.

During the year he posted a six-event stretch without a round over par and 21 straight rounds in the 60s, including tying the PGA Tour 72-hole scoring record with a 253 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
