Dublin, Ohio: The world’s top-ranked golfer successfully defended his title at the 2025 Memorial Tournament on Sunday, claiming his third win in four starts and cementing his dominance on the PGA Tour. With a four-shot victory over Ben Griffin, the 2025 Texas Open champion, the world No. 1 became just the second player in tournament history to win consecutive Memorial titles, joining Tiger Woods in that exclusive club.

The champion secured a $4 million payout — matching the largest first-place prize outside of The Players Championship. The Memorial is one of only two PGA Tour events, alongside the Arnold Palmer Invitational, to award such a high winner’s purse. This year’s $20 million total purse once again confirmed the tournament’s elite status within the Tour’s signature events.
