This Sunday afternoon, the PGA Championship wraps up at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The leaderboard is packed with big names, setting up plenty of drama on our way to the conclusion of the second major championship of the season.

Throughout the day this Sunday, check back here for live updates on the leaderboard, highlights and the latest results in the PGA $2.75M FANTASY GOLF MILLIONAIRE [$1M TO 1ST], which will award a million-dollar top prize at the end of the PGA Championship Final Round.

Here’s the latest:

Fantasy Golf Leaderboard Update (6:55)

In the PGA $2.75M Fantasy Golf Millionaire [$1M to 1st], the top spot came down to the wire with plenty of drama down the stretch. Even with Scheffler clearly out front, the shuffling of players in second place caused different entries to vault the leaderboard.

In the end, though, an entry from DrRexGeedfellow held a one-point lead over Rabble303 with BlindBetJack four points further back. The leading entry included Scottie, of course, along with second-place finisher Harris English, who surged up the leaderboard with the best round of the day. The entry also included Joaquin Niemann and Keegan Bradley, who finished in the top 10. The two value plays that made the entry a success, though, were Taylor Pendrith at just 3.6% ownership and Cam Davis, who finished in the top 20 despite only being in only 0.6% of entries.

Scottie Scheffler Wins The PGA Championship (6:45)

Scheffler claimed the first PGA Championship of his career on Sunday by outlasting a stacked leaderboard at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Scheffler began the day with a three-shot lead over Alex Noren, but lost the lead with a +2 on the front nine. He bounced back, though, with a birdie on No. 10 and a pair of birdies on No. 14 and No. 15. Jon Rahm tied him momentarily for the lead but faded down the stretch, so he entered the Green Mile with a comforable lead. He played conservatively but still has a short putt left for his third straight par after this strong approach shot.

Scheffler claimed the third major championship and 15th PGA TOUR victory with what ended up being a six-shot victory over Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, and Davis Riley, who finished tied for second.

Jon Rahm Unravels on Green Mile (6:30)

For a brief moment on Sunday, Jon Rahm shared the lead in the PGA Championship Final Round, but Scottie Scheffler found a great rhythm on the back nine and Rahm narrowly missed a few putts before totally coming undone on the final three holes.

He finished bogey, double-bogey, double-bogey on the three holes known as the Green Mile and sank to a T8, where a large group of golfers finished at -4 for the week.

While it was a disappointing closing stretch, it was still a strong showing for the LIV Golf star, who will look to contend in another major at the U.S. Open or The Open Championship later this season, as he continues to seek the third major championship of his career.

Scheffler Up Five With Three To Play (6:08)

As quickly as his lead evaporated on the front nine, Scottie Scheffler has regained full control of the PGA Championship with back-to-back birdies on No. 14 and No. 15.

Meanwhile, his challenger Jon Rahm bogeyed No. 16 and splashed his tee shot on No. 17.

Rahm ended up carding a double-bogey on the hole and dropping to T3 with Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau while J.T. Poston now stands alone in second place but five strokes off the lead held by Scheffler.

Scheffler’s Lead Is Growing (5:55)

Jon Rahm hasn’t been able to keep up with Scottie Scheffler since tying him at the turn. Scheffler birdied No. 11 and converted a birdie out of bunker on the drivable No. 14 after Rahm missed a similar putt when he played the same hole earlier.

Meanwhile up ahead, Rahm hooked his drive off the tee on No. 16 and dropped a shot on the first hole of the “Green Mile.” The nickname given to the finishing three holes at Quail Hollow Club speaks to how long the three holes play, and in the PGA Championship Final Round, they have played at a combined +1.3 strokes over par.

While the Green Mile still awaits Scottie after he finishes one more hole, he has to feel much more comfortable now that his lead has expanded to three shots.

Scheffler back on top (5:15)

After Jon Rahm tied him at the top of the leaderboard, Scottie Scheffler responded with a birdie on No. 10.

He made par on No. 11 while Rahm’s putt lipped out on No. 13.

On No. 14, he went at the drivable par-4, but he got a bad bounce and ended up in the bunker just off the green.

With Scheffler and Rahm battling at the top, Matt Fitzpatrick and J.T. Poston share third place, three shots off the lead.

Rahm Reels In Scheffler (4:50)

Scottie Scheffler bogeyed the ninth hole at Quail Hollow to go out in +2. While his playing partner, Alex Noren hasn’t been able to take advantage, Scheffler’s lead has totally evaporated after a charge from LIV Golf’s Jon Rahm.

Ram’s birdie on No. 11 came just after Scheffler dropped a shot at No. 9.

Both players have claimed two major championships in their career, and they are now set for a beautiful duel down the stretch to see who can claim their third at this year’s PGA Championship.

In DraftKings’ PGA $2.75M Fantasy Golf Millionaire, Scheffler’s ownership is 23.3% this week while Rahm’s is only 10.4%.

Scottie Not Securing the Wanamaker Just Yet (4:23)

After a bogey on No. 6, Scottie Scheffler failed to birdie the par-5 No. 7, which is playing as one of the easiest holes on the course during the PGA Championship Final Round. On No. 8, he also drove the ball way left and faces a challenging scramble to save par.

His playing partner, Alex Noren birdied No. 7 and tied Jon Rahm at -7, which is currently three strokes off the lead. The tournament still feels like Scottie’s to lose, but it’s not quite time to engrave his name on the trophy yet.

The Runner-Up Race Heats Up (4:03)

Scottie Scheffler dropped a shot on the par-3 No. 6 at Quail Hollow and is at -10 for the tournament through six holes, but he’s still four strokes clear of the rest of the field at the PGA Championship Final Round.

The chase pack has bunched up, though, with eight players tied for second. Harris English is in the clubhouse at -6 and is tied for second with Alex Noren, Davis Riley, Jon Rahm, Jhonattan Vegas, Tony Finau, Adam Scott, and Bryson DeChambeau.

Davis Dunkin’ (3:40)

Davis Riley chipped in for birdie on No. 5 to move into solo possession of second place.

He bounced back from his bogey on No. 1 with three pars before that birdie and is now back to -7 for the tournament.

Scottie Scheffler remains on top of the leaderboard and seems to be in full control at -11, four shots clear of the rest of the field. Alex Noren fell back with a bogey on No. 4 and is tied for third at -6 with Harris English and Jon Rahm.

Just behind that tie for third is a huge chase back at -5 where Jhonattan Vegas, Tony Finau, Bryson DeChambeau, Matt Fitzpatrick, Matt Wallace, Adam Scott, Denny McCarthy and Joaquin Niemann are all battling it out for a top-10 finish.

Harris English Posts Low Round of the Day (3:15)

With a rare birdie on the final hole, Harris English is the new leader in the clubhouse after posting the best round of the day.

English made seven birdies on the day with just one bogey to move from even-par for the tournament to -6 after his closing round 66. He finished on fire with five birdies in the last eight holes and moved to T3 when he finished the round.

English likely won’t finish quite that high on the leaderboard, but he will end up being a great DFS play since his ownership was only 9.8% in the PGA $2.75M Fantasy Golf Millionaire.

Meanwhile, ahead of English on the leaderboard, Scottie bounced back with a birdie out of the pine straw on No. 2 to get back to -11, which is four strokes clear of Alex Noren, who is in solo second. The leaders still have 16 holes to play.

Scheffler’s Shaky Start (3:00)

Both Alex Noren and Scottie Scheffler found the fairway on No. 1 but ended up bogeying the opening hole. Scheffler dropped to -10 while Noren fell to -7.

Players had 20 bogeys and just eight birdies on the opening hole as Quail Hollow Club flexes its muscles right off the start.

Scheffler’s drive on the second hole was also wayward landing in the pine straw after kicking off the cart path, but it looks like he has a clear shot at the green. Alex Noren also missed the fairway, with the leaders looking catchable in the ealry going.

Scheffler Tees Off (2:48)

The leaders are off!

Alex Noren and Scottie Scheffler found the fairway, but the two players who began the day T3 dropped a shot on the opening hole to fall back to -6, five strokes off the lead held by Scheffler.

Noren is still three shots back in second while Davis Riley and J.T. Poston are now tied with Jon Rahm for third. Si Woo Kim and Jhonattan Vegas are also struggling early in their rounds, as the first few holes play tough.

Rory Wraps Up Underwhelming Week (2:00)

Rory McIlroy completed the career grand slam with his win at The Masters earlier this year, but he won’t be winning a grand slam in 2025. Before this week, he won four times at Quail Hollow Club, but this week he just never got it going.

He started his PGA Championship Final Round with two bogeys in the first three holes. He made three birdies later in the round but also made a couple more bogeys to finish +1 for the day and +3 for the tournament, which is currently T55.

Overall, it was a disappointing result for Rory, who was the player with the highest ownership in the PGA $2.75M Fantasy Golf Millionaire for this week’s PGA Championship, checking in at 34.13% ownership.

PGA Championship Final Round: Early Scores From Quail Hollow (1:30)

While the leaders don’t start until 2:40 p.m. ET, there are already plenty of players on the course for their Final Round.

Corey Conners and Sam Burns have the lowest rounds on the course with a -4 on the day and have climbed into the top-25. Defending champion Xander Schauffele was at -5 for the day before a double-bogey on No. 16 dropped him to T-33.

Daniel Berger has the lowest round of the day with four birdies and a bogey on his way to a -3 to climb to T-39 at even par for the tournament.

Overall, the course is playing an average of +0.74 strokes over par with “The Green Mile” playing especially difficult at +1.36 over par in the closing three holes.

To set the stage for later, Scottie Scheffler will start the day with a three-stroke lead over Alex Noren, while Davis Riley and J.T. Poston start the day four strokes back. Jon Rahm, Si Woo Kim and Jhonattan Vegas are tied for fifth while Keegan Bradley, Tony Finau, Bryson DeChambeau, Matthieu Pavon and Matt Fitzpatrick are T-8 to round out the top-12.

Everyone else is more than six strokes back and would need a huge day to claim the PGA Championship. Will Scottie run away with this major for his first Wanamaker Trophy or will someone else be able to chase him down? We’ll start to find out in a few hours. Here’s a reminder of the purse at stake this Sunday.
