Jon Rahm clears Scottie Scheffler in major stat race amid 2025 PGA Championship

Jon Rahm is regarded as one of the top players of this era. Since his debut, he has consistently been among the best on the course. The Spaniard's stats back this up.

Another interesting stat is making the rounds on X, with Rahm topping the list. He is even ahead of Scottie Scheffler in this stat.

Golf writer Kyle Porter shared an X (previously Twitter) post regarding the golfers with the most strokes gained per round in their first 150 events. Unsurprisingly, Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jordan Spieth are among the world-class names on this list.

The stat is led by Jon Rahm, who leads everyone with a total of 2.10 strokes. This is a somewhat incredible stat and shows why there has been so much hype around Rahm since his debut. Here's a look at the full list posted:

Jon Rahm: 2.10
Scottie Scheffler: 2.06 (139 events)
Rory McIlroy: 1.99
Jordan Spieth: 1.84
Collin Morikawa: 1.70 (130)
Xander Schauffele: 1.59
Justin Thomas: 1.58
Brooks Koepka: 1.31
Bryson DeChambeau: 1.26 (148)
Dustin Johnson: 1.09

While posting about this list, Kyle Porter also appreciated Jon Rahm for these numbers, as he wrote:

"He's never been talked about in those terms often enough, but Rahm has been generational from Day 1. I don't think one (not even that) bad year really changes that."
