Scottie Scheffler Wins the Memorial and Joins Tiger Woods

Scottie Scheffler secured his fifth victory of the season at the Memorial Tournament, overcoming a difficult 2-over 74 to defeat Collin Morikawa by a single stroke in a tense final-hole showdown.

With this win, Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as the only players to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players, the Masters, and the Memorial in a single calendar year.

Scheffler took the Memorial by one stroke over Collin Morikawa despite a closing 74, his fifth win before June and the same four stop sweep Tiger Woods managed in 2001 SB Nation. Paris gold, the Tour Championship and six further wins followed across two seasons, including the PGA Championship and Open Championship in 2025 Golfweek. Morikawa's near miss has aged into a footnote: still World No. 1, Scheffler won the 2026 St. Jude by eight shots for a 21st career title, reached younger than anyone but Nicklaus and Woods. Only the U.S. Open keeps the career Grand Slam open; Wyndham Clark took it at Shinnecock Hills by one stroke in June.
