Scottie Scheffler Pga Championship 2025

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Scottie Scheffler is competing near the top of the leaderboard as the third round of the 2025 PGA Championship is set to begin. The tournament has drawn a massive field featuring 99 of the world’s top 100 golfers, with action continuing through the weekend for the coveted Wanamaker Trophy.

As of Saturday morning, Jhonattan Vegas leads the tournament after an impressive round. He scored a 64 on Friday, building a narrow two-shot lead over Matthieu Pavon and Matt Fitzpatrick, who are both at 6-under par. Scheffler, alongside Si Woo Kim and Max Homa, trails by three strokes, both sitting at 5-under.

PGA Championship officials have revised tee times due to dangerous weather in the area. Play will start at 11:43 a.m. ET, with players grouped in threesomes from both the first and tenth tees. This alteration aims to ensure the safety of players and fans amidst lightning concerns.

Fans can catch the third-round action on CBS and ESPN. ESPN’s coverage begins at 10 a.m. ET, while CBS takes over from 1 p.m., offering extensive coverage through the afternoon. Additionally, streaming options will be available on ESPN+ for early and featured group coverage starting at 8 a.m.

While observers eagerly watch the top contenders, fans are also following the performances of notable players like Rory McIlroy, who just made the cut, and defending champion Xander Schauffele, who barely managed to stay in the competition.

With plenty of golf left to play, the atmosphere at Quail Hollow Club is electric as spectators await the thrilling conclusion of the third round.
