T he four major championships have come and gone in 2025 with three new winners being crowned across the biggest events of the season. Rory McIlroy won his Masters in dramatic fashion this April, completing the career grand slam and punching his ticket into golf's most exclusive club.

Scheffler won by four shots Sunday at Royal Portrush, his fourth major victory and first in an Open Championship.

The top-ranked golfer cruised to another dominant outing to claim the British Open. Scheffler, who entered the day with a massive four-shot lead, pushed it to seven at one point en route to his four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Nobody even came close to catching him.

The top two golfers in the world are firmly in contention at The Open with Scheffler out in front entering another major championship weekend

Rory McIlroy stared at his card behind the 18th green and smiled the smile of a golfer who knew he’d had a day to remember at the British Open.

Roar, Rory, roar! Except the problem for the magnificent McIlroy masses here at the 153rd Open is that it does not seem to matter how loudly they cheer and shout and urge on their home hero.

Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods both took exactly 1,197 days from winning their first major to their fourth.
