On January 26th, 2026, Scottie Scheffler dominates The American Express to secure his 20th career victory and lifetime membership, cementing his place alongside Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
THE AMERICAN EXPRESS
- Scottie Scheffler cards a final-round 66 to lock up his 20th PGA Tour title, becoming the third-fastest player to reach the milestone (151 starts) and crossing the $100 million earnings threshold.
- He joins Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players with 20 wins and four majors before age 30, admitting to feeling some "rust" despite the historic "relief."
- Even a double bogey into the water on the "Alcatraz" 17th couldn't stop him, as early daggers on the 4th and 12th built an insurmountable lead.
THE TEENAGE DREAM
- 18-year-old sensation Blades Brown falls from contention with a Sunday 74, finishing T18 and just missing the auto-qualifier for the Farmers Insurance Open after eight straight days of golf.
- "It was insane." — Brown reflects on the week, specifically praising Scheffler’s underrated short game and spin control.
- A double bogey on the 5th derailed his momentum, but the high schooler proved he belongs on the big stage.
SUNDAY MOVERS & SHAKERS
- Jason Day fires a closing 64 to secure his 100th career Top 10 finish, leading a T2 pack that included Ryan Gerard, Matt McCarty, and Andrew Putnam.
- Si Woo Kim’s title hopes vanish in a bunker on the 8th hole, leading to a T6 finish, while Wyndham Clark and Rickie Fowler fade over the weekend.
