Scheffler seals BMW Championship

Scottie Scheffler rallies from four behind to win the BMW Championship with a dramatic chip on 17 and strengthens his grip on the FedEx Cup race.

Scheffler wins BMW Championship to claim fifth victory this year

OWINGS MILLS, Md. AP — Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, erased a four-shot deficit against Robert MacIntyre and closed the BMW Championship with a 3-under 67 to win at 15-under 265.
An 82-foot chip on the 17th hole, landing about 60 feet from the hole and then rolling in, provided the decisive moment and sent the gallery into a roar.
MacIntyre fought to stay in front but could not sustain his lead as Scheffler converted late chances and kept his foot on the gas. The victory marks Scheffler’s fifth PGA Tour title this season, a pace that has drawn comparisons to Tiger Woods.
The win also solidifies Scheffler’s position atop the FedEx Cup standings as the Tour Championship at East Lake approaches, where the field can win a $10 million prize and the chance to claim back-to-back championships.

The narrative around Scheffler keeps expanding. He has built a year that resembles a modern era of multi win mastery, yet the sport remains tuned to one shot moments that redefine momentum. The chip on 17 is a reminder that golf rewards nerve as much as consistency, and it reinforces Scheffler’s status as a clutch performer under pressure.
MacIntyre’s late slip confirms that even strong starts can unravel when the precision of the short game matters most. The upcoming East Lake showdown will test whether Scheffler can translate this peak form into a sustained playoff run, a test that has eluded many great players in the past. The broader story is whether golf’s leading stars can convert season-long dominance into a dominant finish in the FedEx Cup era.
