Ludvig Åberg claimed victory at the 2025 Genesis Invitational with a final round of 66. His total score of 12-under par earned him his second PGA Tour title. Along with the win, Åberg received 700 FedEx Cup points, which propelled him to the top spot. He also took home $4 million in tournament earnings. The fight put up was a rather interesting one, but the event also left us with some major details that you might have missed out on.

3. Keegan Bradley’s Ryder Cup Team might be under threat

It has almost been three months since the PGA Tour 2025 season began, and seven tournaments have already concluded. And guess what? The members of the American team have not been able to fare very well. So far, only Harris English has managed to grab a win this season at the Farmers Insurance Open from Keegan Bradley’s squad. That too with just one stroke. But from the European Team, there are already four names, making waves with their performances.

Sepp Straka began by bringing luck after winking at the American Express, which was followed by Rory McIlroy’s win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and then Thomas Detry and Ludvig Aberg bringing wins in February. And let’s not forget that Europe has won ten of the Ryder Cup trophies in its last fourteen editions.

2. Tiger Woods might be seen playing soon

Tiger Woods hasn’t competed since the 2024 Open Championship in July, but he remains hopeful about playing in select PGA Tour events during the 2025 season. “I haven’t been able to do that,” Woods shared while hosting the Genesis Invitational on CBS, according to ESPN’s Paolo Uggetti. “I’ll get back after it and look to play some of the bigger events.”

Woods had to withdraw from the Genesis Invitational due to the passing of his mother, Kultida, who died on February 4 at 80 years old. “Losing her has been a hard and difficult process,” Woods said. “Mom was my rock.” He has played in two TGL matches this year and will return to TGL play on Tuesday when the Jupiter Links face the New York Golf Club. Uggetti pointed out that Woods didn’t commit to any specific events before the Masters in April. However, recently NUCLR Golf reported, “During a visit to the broadcast booth at The Genesis, Tiger Woods says he’s planning to “play more” in 2025 and will appear at some “big events.”

Several Signature events are scheduled in the coming weeks, such as The Cognizant Classic, The Arnold Palmer Invitational, and THE PLAYERS, where he might appear. While nothing’s confirmed, these could be on his radar, much like last year.

1. Scottie Scheffler struggling to make a comeback

Scottie Scheffler made his return to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, confirming his place in the event after the PGA Tour released the field on Friday afternoon. Coming off an incredible season, Scheffler had taken the golf world by storm, winning seven PGA Tour events, including the Masters, the Players Championship, and the Tour Championship. His consistent play throughout the season also earned him the FedEx Cup title, securing his third consecutive PGA Tour Player of the Year Award.

In addition to his Tour wins, Scheffler added victories at the Olympics and the Hero World Challenge in December. But things took an unexpected turn when he injured his hand on Christmas Day. During a Zoom call promoting the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he shared that he hurt himself “making homemade ravioli.” Unfortunately, the injury forced him to miss the season-opening Sentry and the American Express events.

While his comeback at Pebble Beach wasn’t quite as thrilling as his dominant previous season, he still managed a respectable T9 finish. At the WM Phoenix Open, he finished T25, but it wasn’t until the Genesis Invitational that he truly got close to a win again. Scheffler narrowly lost the title to Ludvig Åberg, finishing just three strokes back in third place, tied with Patrick Rodgers. Afterward, in his post-round interview, Scheffler seemed disappointed, saying, “I think I feel pretty bad about where I’m at.”
