World No 1 Scottie Scheffler emulated Tiger Woods by successfully defending the Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village. Only five-time winner Woods had previously retained the crown between 1999 and 2001, but Scheffler claimed a second consecutive success with a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin.

Jack Nicklaus Said What Everyone Was Thinking After Scottie Scheffler's Win Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Golf sensation Scottie Scheffler won his third tournament of the 2025 PGA Tour season on Sunday at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.

Woods is a five-time winner at Memorial who won three straight from 1999 through 2001. No one had repeated at Muirfield Village since then until Scheffler. His performances lately look a lot more like Nicklaus the way he wears down the field by rarely getting out of position.
