T24 finish at American Express Griffin fired a two-under par 70 in the final round of the American Express to finish in a share of 24th place.

Impact In looking to put last weeks disappointing weekend finish behind him, Griffin got out to another hot start this week after firing a nine-under 63 in round one. He then followed his magnificent opening round score with two more sub-70 rounds. However, with the amount of low scores being posted by other competitors, Griffin needed to replicate his first round score to have any chance to contending. After going out in even par in his final round, Griffin fell off the pace with the top contenders. Still for the week, Griffin can take a lot of positives with him going into his next tournament. Griffin ranked 12th for the week in SG: Around the Greens this week, and was within the top 20 in driving accuracy for the week. Griffin also has totaled five sub-70 rounds in his first two tournaments of the year, which shows that Griffin will continue to contend this year.

This is Griffin's third win of the year in what has been a true breakout campaign for the 29-year-old. He also finished runner-up on two occasions to World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, including his previous PGA Tour start at the Procore Championship. There's a decent chance this will be Griffin's last start of 2025, and if so this is an excellent way to go into the offseason as he hopes to come out swinging again in 2026.

Disappointing finish in Napa Griffin had to settle for second place after shooting a two-under 70 in the final round of the Procore Championship.

Impact Griffin was in control throughout much of this week. He was looking to score his third PGA Tour win of 2025 and he got off to a tremendous starts on Sunday with birdies on each of the first three holes. Griffin went cold after that, however, playing his next 11 holes in two-over-par. He got back within one of a hard-charging Scottie Scheffler with a birdie at 15. He needed to get up-and-down from behind the 18th green for birdie to force a playoff with his future Ryder Cup teammate. A decent chip left Griffin about six feet, but the putt just wandered out to the left. This one will be a tough one for the 29-year-old to get over, but he continues to play some amazing golf.

Griffin notched his first two wins of his PGA Tour career this season and has truly been one of the best players in the world since mid-May. He has done more than enough to be deserving of a Ryder Cup selection, but there are some rumors flying around that he may be left off the team. Whatever happens, Griffin has to be proud of the golf he played in 2025 and has to be excited about his 2026 prospects.

Another strong showing on tough test Griffin closed with a one-over 71 on Sunday to finish in a share of 10th place at the U.S. Open.

Impact Griffin came into the week with a lot of confidence after finishes of T8-1st-2nd in his last three starts, all on very tough golf courses. He was in the mix all week and collected another top-10 finish at Oakmont. Griffin will look back to his poor finish on Saturday when he went four-over on his final five holes to lose a lot of ground. It made it a very tall task on Sunday even with a lot of the leaders falling back. Griffin's 71 in the final round was a very strong score and he should be decently satisfied with the result. He will look to continue this run of great play at the Travelers Championship next week.

JUNE 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly goes back-to-back Griffin finished in solo second place after shooting a one-over 73 in the final round of the Memorial Tournament.

Impact For anyone thinking Griffin would come out sluggish following his first individual PGA Tour victory last week at Colonial, that was certainly not the case. He got off to a fast start with a seven-under 65 in the first round. Griffin continued to battle as the golf course got tougher and he just would not go away. He had a couple missed opportunities in the middle of the round as he tried to stay with Scottie Scheffler. That said, he made an eagle at 15 and then a birdie at 16 to give Scheffler something to think about. Unfortunately it was erased with a double-bogey at the 17th. Griffin was able to par 18 to secure the solo second and jump to fifth in the FedExCup standings. He will take next week off to get ready to continue this strong play at the U.S. Open.

JUNE 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First individual PGA Tour victory Griffin won the Charles Schwab Challenge by one stroke over Matti Schmid after shooting a one-over 71 in the final round.

Impact It was a battle between Griffin and Schmid for most of the weekend at Colonial. Both players entered the final round tied for the lead. Griffin got off to a dream start with an eagle on the par-5 1st and a birdie at the par-4 2nd. Schmid was even on those first two holes and then made double-bogey on 5 and bogey on 6 to drop even further behind. Griffin looked to be in a spot where he could cruise, but he struggled coming in. He did not end up making another birdie the rest of the round and added four bogeys. Thankfully even after a birdie at 18 by Schmid, par on the final hole was good enough for Griffin to survive and claim his first individual PGA Tour title, after winning the Zurich Classic with Andrew Novak last month. Griffin soars to fifth in the FedExCup standings and will look to keep the momentum going at the Memorial Tournament.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First major championship top-10 Griffin fired a two-under 69 on Sunday at the PGA Championship to finish four-under and tied for eighth.

MAY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Earns maiden victory in NOLA Griffin and Andrew Novak won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans by one stroke after shooting a one-under 71 in the final round.

Impact This strong duo took command of the tournament after a 11-under 61 in best ball on Saturday. Sunday proved to be much more of a challenge in alternate shot, however, but both players made some big pars on the back-nine before Griffin rolled in a lengthy putt for birdie on the par-3 17th, which turned out to be the difference. For both Griffin and Novak it was PGA Tour victory No. 1 and could be a big confidence booster to both players going forward. These two players have been close on a number of occasions over the past couple years and it seemed fitting that they broke through the barrier together. Griffin is still slated to tee it up at the Byron Nelson next week, but there's a chance that changes following this win that now locked him into the remaining signature events and the PGA Championship.

Misses cut at Sawgrass Griffin recorded a two-round score of one-over-par to miss the cut at THE PLAYERS Championship this past week by two shots.

Impact Griffin had made the cut in six consecutive starts before failing to advance to the weekend at TPC Sawgrass, where he ultimately lost 2.3 strokes ball striking en route to seven total bogeys and one double across 36 holes. Griffin will look to bounce back at the upcoming Valspar Championship where he tied for 17th last year when he gained 4.9 strokes with the flat stick.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up second straight T4 finish Griffin shot a two-under 69 in the final round of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches to finish in a tie for fourth place.

Griffin needed this result to get back on track. He scored a T7 at the AmEx, but had gone MC-T69-T36-T44 in his previous four tournaments. Griffin will hope to keep this good play from Mexico going when he makes the trip to Florida for the Cognizant Classic next week.
