DUBLIN, Ohio – The Memorial, presented by Workday was Scottie Scheffler’s 11th career PGA TOUR title and fifth this season. He joined four different players (on six instances) who have won the Memorial Tournament and THE PLAYERS Championship or a major championship in the same season as Scheffler now captured the 2024 Memorial, the 2024 PLAYERS Championship, and 2024 Masters Tournament. The other players to accomplish the feat are Raymond Floyd (1982), Curtis Strange (1988), Paul Azinger (1993) and Tiger Woods (1999, 2000, 2001).
Scheffler became the seventh player (16th instance) with five or more TOUR wins in a season since 1983 and first since Justin Thomas in 2016-17 (5). Scheffler has won five of his last eight starts on TOUR and has finished outside the Top 10 only once in 13 starts this season (T17/The American Express).
He became the second player since 1950 with five TOUR victories including a major, before the U.S. Open (Arnold Palmer/1960, 1962) which is this week at Pinehurst.
The last five instances of a player winning five times in a calendar year on the PGA TOUR before June 10:
- Scottie Scheffler, 2024
- Tom Watson, 1980
- Johnny Miller, 1974
- Arnold Palmer, 1962
- Arnold Palmer, 1960
Collin Morikawa recorded his third Top-5 finish in as many starts (T4/PGA Championship, 4th/Charles Schwab Challenge). He was seeking a fourth victory on a Jack Nicklaus-designed venue – 2019 Barracuda Championship (Montreux G&CC), 2020 Workday Charity Open (Muirfield Village), 2021 WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession.
