World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler Secures Fourth Major Title with British Open Victory

Scottie Scheffler entered the final round of the 2025 British Open at Royal Portrush holding a comfortable four-shot lead—and he held steady throughout to claim his second major of the year. Starting strong with a birdie on the first hole, Scheffler added three more birdies on the front nine and finished with a solid 3-under 68, closing out the championship at 17-under-par. His consistent performance gave him a four-shot advantage over the runner-up and earned him a well-deserved victory in Northern Ireland.

This triumph marks Scheffler’s fourth major championship and his 13th win worldwide since he began using the Spider Tour X putter. Since 2024, that total includes not only majors but also a gold medal, underscoring his dominance. With this win, Scheffler has now completed three legs of the Career Grand Slam and joins an exclusive group as only the 31st player in history to claim four or more major titles. Notably, this victory is also his 10th straight time converting a 54-hole lead into a win.

Let’s take a closer look at the key factors behind this historic achievement.

The Switch to Spider Tour X: Why It Worked

Scottie’s switch to the Spider Tour X putter during the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational has been a game changer. TaylorMade’s Senior PGA Tour Manager, Adrien Rietveld, shared insight on the decision:

“We discovered during testing that Scottie needed a way to better recognize when he struck the ball on the center of the face. The traditional sight dot he used on his previous blade putter was replaced by the True Path alignment system, which better matched his visual preferences and mechanics. The Spider Tour X is packed with both visible and hidden technology that has helped Scottie make more consistent, confident putts.”
