Which PGA TOUR record did Scottie Scheffler match with his win at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025?

Scottie Scheffler returned to winning ways at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025. After being winless on the PGA Tour since the start of the 2025 season, Scheffler put up a dominant performance at TPC Craig Ranch to earn his maiden win of the year.

In doing so, the 28-year-old golfer also matched an important record on the PGA Tour. Scheffler matches the record for the lowest 72-hole score on the PGA Tour. Scheffer, who shot 253 at TPC Craig Ranch, matched Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg.

While Thomas shot 253 at the Waialae Country Club during the 2017 Sony Open, Aberg shot the same at the Sea Island Golf Club during the 2023 RSM Classic. Scottie Scheffler now has added his name to this list with a brilliant performance over four rounds at TPC Craig Ranch.

Scheffler, 28, could have potentially broken the record and sat at the all alone. However, a bogey on the par-3 hole 17 followed by a missed birdie on the par-5 hole 18 (par) meant that the American golfer matched the record instead of surpassing it.
