Today in Golf - Champions Crowned

Two venues, two record-setting wins: Scottie Scheffler rewrites the Byron Nelson books in Dallas while Bryson DeChambeau powers Crushers GC to another LIV clean-sweep in Korea. Here’s everything that went down on Championship Sunday, May 4 2025:

PGA TOUR – THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson

• Hometown fairy-tale – Scheffler closes with 31-under for an eight-shot romp, 11 years after debuting here with sister Callie on the bag and months after missing 2024 for son Bennett’s birth. Emotional hugs, autograph marathon, and a bunker-hole-out eagle on 9 headline the victory lap.
• Key flashes – Lucky carom off 12th rough, stone-cold chip-and-putt birdie on 17 after a mishit, and a clinical 64-66 weekend that turned TPC Craig Ranch into a birdie playground.
• Podium & pursuers – Erik van Rooyen (-23) plays admiring wingman, Sam Stevens (-20) learns to “swing fearless,” and Jordan Spieth fires a closing 62 to snag solo fourth (-19) while praising Scottie’s standard.
• Rules footnote – Davis Riley & Max Homa survive slope-finder penalties to cash weekend checks.

LIV GOLF – Korea (Jack Nicklaus GC)

• Bryson back on Sundays – DeChambeau (-19) dials in a “play like a kid” mindset, pours a 48-footer on 17, and ends his closing-round wobble streak for his third LIV trophy.
• Crushers GC crush – Charles Howell III’s 63 propels the squad to –35, nine clear, as prize-money math and team chemistry get a spotlight.
• Leaderboard movers – Talor Gooch solo third, Jon Rahm’s top-10 streak reaches 19-for-19, and Joaquin Niemann keeps the season-long points lead despite T-20.
• Off-course vibes – Bryson raves about Korean fans, kimchi, and eyeing the upcoming majors.

All the storylines, stats, and sound bites you need—hit play and relive a record-breaking weekend on both sides of the Pacific.
