1 golfer Scottie Scheffler raced atop the leaderboard at the 2025 PGA Championship with an incredible eagle on the 14th hole.

Entering Sunday, Scheffler holds a three-stroke lead over Noren.

The two-time Masters champion is seeking his first career major outside of Augusta National.

Scheffler was runner-up at the 2023 PGA Championship.

In five previous appearances at the tournament (2020-24), Scheffler has four top-10 finishes (2020-21, 2023-24).

While he's been in range of winning the Wanamaker Trophy in previous years, Scheffler has never been closer than in 2025.
