World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was still seeking his first win in 2025 before this week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson. For a guy who has won 13 events over the last 3 years, it’s been odd to see him without a win since last season’s Tour Championship.

Scheffler has been superb since his return from injury in late January, just not as good as people have come to expect. This, of course should be taken with a grain of salt – his worst finish this year is T25 in Phoenix and he has finished top 10 in five of eight starts this year.

Scheffler seemed right at home as he began his pursuit for victory on Thursday at TPC Craig Ranch. He carded a bogey-free 10-under 61 that included eight birdies and an eagle. His round on Friday was almost as impressive, playing bogey-free again and carding 63. His 18-under through two rounds set the 36-hole scoring record on the PGA Tour.

Despite being miles ahead of the field in just about every category, Scheffler continued to put his foot on the gas over the weekend. On Saturday, he finally made a five on a hole but was able to post a 5-under 66 and open up a massive 8-shot lead heading into the final round.

Despite the large lead, Scheffler still racked up the birdies on Sunday. He matched playing partner Erik Van Rooyen’s 63 with a 63 of his own. Just like in Thursday’s round, Scottie made eight birdies and an eagle, only this time he mixed in a couple bogeys. In the end he would win by eight shots, reassuring the golf world of his dominance. His cumulative score of 31-under par shattered the tournament scoring record that was previously held by K.H Lee at 26-under.

Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 

Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7 X 

Scheffler was seen testing Taylormade’s new Qi35 driver recently, but he opted to stick with the older Qi10 model with a Fujikura Black 7 X shaft (8 degrees), very close to the setup Rory McIlroy uses. It was a weapon this week for Scheffler, helping him gain 5.439 strokes off the tee (No. 3 in the field). 

3-Wood: TaylorMade Qi10

Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 8 X

He also continues to game the Qi10 3-wood, a club he frequently uses off the tee for tee shots that demand more control. It proved effective this weekend for Scheffler.

Irons: Srixon ZU85 (3,4), TaylorMade P7TW (5-PW)

Shafts: Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 Hybrid Prototype 10 X (3), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

Scheffler still also carries a pair of utility irons in the older Srixon ZU85 head. The 3-iron holds the Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 Prototype 10x shaft, while the rest of his set contains the popular True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100. The rest of his irons are made up of TaylorMade P7TWs, which were designed with the help of Tiger Woods. They helped him to a 12.8 strokes-gained approach at TPC Craig Ranch, which was first in the field by a wide margin. 

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM8 (50-12F, 56-14F), Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (60-06K)

Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400

Around the greens, Scottie carries a trio of Vokey wedges. His gap wedge and sand wedge (50 and 56 degrees) are the older SM8 model, while his lob wedge is the newest SM10 (60 degrees). and playing the Low Bounce K Grind in that 60 degree. All three of his wedges contain the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shaft.

Putter: TaylorMade Spider Tour X

Grip: Golf Pride Pro Only

On the greens, Scheffler has stuck with the Taylormade Spider Tour X that he switched to last spring that sparked a series of wins. Of note, Scheffler’s Spider Tour X features the L-neck hosel and offers slight toe hang for his moderate arc. Typically if Scheffler is putting above average, he's got a great chance to win a tournament based on how great of a ballstriker he is. Well this week, he was just as lethal with the flatstick, as he finished 6th in Strokes Gained Putting, while leading the field in putts per green in regulation. That's pretty impressive considering he ranked just 26th in Total Feet of Putts Made, which shows you how precise he was in his approach game.
