“I’m so happy we don’t have to play against you in a few weeks,” said Dana Myeroff, Ben Griffin’s fiancée, after her beau got beaten by the world #1 at Napa Valley. This is the second time this season that Scheffler has defeated Griffin in the final round to claim a title. While the two Ryder Cup teammates were having a laugh about what Myeroff had to say, another Griffin wasn’t too happy that Mr. Inevitable was ‘fortunate’ to grab the Procore Championship in his first attempt.

Kira Dixon was on the course interviewing Lanto Griffin for his incredible performance at Silverado Resort. She wanted to know how important it was for the 37-year-old to get the solo 3rd finish as he tries to improve his FedEx Cup Fall standings. An emotional Griffin told Dixon, “One of my goals is to give myself a chance for Japan. Hopefully, I will get in there now (after the 3rd place finish).”

Griffin wants to qualify for the 2025 Baycurrent Classic (formerly known as the ZOZO Championship). The PGA Tour event played in Japan has the biggest purse of $8 million. It usually boasts a weaker field, giving lower-ranked golfers like Lanto the perfect opportunity to grab a huge win. However, he could have grabbed the same here in Napa Valley as well. And that’s what made Griffin quite emotional.

After speaking about his goal, he shed a tear before he said, “Obviously, you want to win, but keeping your job… Went to Q-School last year and somehow won. Kind of extended the life. This week, it all came together. Coming up a little bit short. Kind of wish Scottie wasn’t here.” As awe-inspiring as Scottie Scheffler is, we’re sure every PGA Tour pro would have had the same thought at least once in their life. The world #1 has wounded many souls in his path of destruction recently.

Interestingly, Scheffler has a completely different view of the situation. While his opponents view him as a dominant force, Mr. Inevitable feels he’s just getting lucky: “I was chasing down some pretty talented guys on the leaderboard. Fortunate to be the winner this week.” Looking back at how he took over the course on Sunday, this statement makes him seem quite modest. Scheffler shot 6 birdies and a bogey in the final round to score 5-under 67. That was enough for him to overtake Griffin, who held a 2-stroke lead over him after 54 holes. It’s evident that anytime the world #1 is on the course, there is always a chance that he might win.

Having said that, will Lanto Griffin need to worry about Scottie Scheffler for the remainder of the FedEx Cup Fall season? Let’s explore Mr. Inevitable’s possible schedule for the remainder of 2025.

Will Scottie Scheffler play any more events in the FedEx Cup Fall season?

With the 2025 Procore Championship done and dusted, Scottie Scheffler’s next big goal will be the Ryder Cup. He and the rest of Team U.S. will regroup at Bethpage to prepare for the prestigious event at the end of the month. Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau will also join them in New York after missing out on the Napa Valley event.

Beyond that, Scheffler didn’t play any of the Fall tournaments in 2024. The only reason he participated in the Procore Championship because it was a Ryder Cup team bonding experience initiated by Keegan Bradley. He should take a break after the Ryder Cup until December, when he will play the Hero World Challenge. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will also participate in the Golf Channel Games, an exhibition tournament, at the end of the year. Lanto Griffin would surely be happy about this.
