Ben Griffin shot a final-round 63 to claim victory at the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico on Sunday. Following his win, Griffin joined an exclusive PGA Tour group that includes Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. He secured his third title of the season with a steady performance in Mexico. Griffin did not look sharp during the Pro-Am ahead of his third PGA Tour win at El Cardonal at Diamante, but that has been a common theme for the Chapel Hill native, as he tends to lock in when it counts, and he showed that again this week. Ben Griffin matches Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy with three PGA Tour wins in 2025 Griffin secured his first PGA Tour victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in April, teaming up with Andrew Novak. He followed that up a month later with a win at the Charles Schwab Challenge, held at the historic Colonial Country Club. Now, with three wins this season, Griffin finds himself in elite company. This year on the PGA Tour, only three players have reached three wins or more: Griffin, Scheffler, and McIlroy. The world number one leads the way with six titles, while the Northern Irishman has picked up three of his own. It is worth remembering that it was McIlroy’s Masters win in April that pushed Scheffler to raise his level even further. The success of those two might be fuelling Griffin as well. Watching them perform consistently could be exactly what is driving him forward. What Scottie Scheffler and Jack Nicklaus have said about Ben Griffin Griffin faced Scheffler in the final round of the Memorial Tournament in June, and he left Jack Nicklaus – who hosts the event – impressed that week at Muirfield Village. Nicklaus then said before congratulating Scheffler on his win that he wanted to do the same to his playing partner for that final day. “Let’s wait for this young man coming off here, he showed up pretty well,” he said. Scheffler then answered: “He did, he’s got a lot of talent.” Nicklaus replied: “Yes, he does.” This season has seen Griffin make a real mark on the PGA Tour. With both Scheffler and Nicklaus taking notice, it is clear he is making progress in the right direction.
