The Norwegian and American will return to the the 18th tee and contest the hole until a winner is decided.

Scheffler, who won the event in a playoff in 2024, and Hovland both had birdie chances on the 72nd hole, but neither could convert. Scheffler left his 27-foot attempt eight feet short but rolled in the par, while Hovland’s birdie effort barely slid by the right edge.
The pair eventually completed the final round locked on 21-under and with conditons so poor in not allowing for an immediate play-off.
Hovland is seeking to end a two-year victory drought and enjoys a PGA Tour play-off record having won the only playoff in his PGA TOUR career, in 2023 at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday.
In contrast, Scheffler is 2 and 2 in his TOUR career in playoffs. His 2024 win at TPC River Highlands came in extra holes against Tom Kim.
Scheffler’s four play-offs include:
- 2022 WM Phoenix Open (Won): Scheffler’s first victory on the PGA Tour happened in a sudden-death playoff against Patrick Cantlay. Scheffler scored 62-67 on the weekend, making up six strokes on Cantlay over the third and fourth rounds to force the playoff. Each parred the first two playoff holes, then Scheffler birdied the third hole to win.
- 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge (Lost): Scheffler lost to Sam Burns in this playoff when Burns birdied the first extra hole.
- 2024 Travelers Championship (Won): Career win No. 12 for Scheffler, who defeated Tom Kim by parring the first playoff hole.
- 2026 RBC Heritage (Lost): Scheffler got into this playoff when Matt Fitzpatrick bogeyed the final hole. But then Fitzpatrick birdied the same hole to win the playoff.
And the World No. 1 is also desperately looking to end a five month winless drought.
Collin Morikawa finished one shot out of the playoff at 20 under for the week. He shot the round of the day Sunday, a 9-under 61.
Matt Fitzpatrick, a winner three times already this season, finished a shot further back at 19 under, while last week’s U.S. Open winner, Wyndham Clark, was tied for fifth at 18 under alongside lefty Akshay Bhatia.
