On Sunday, Sepp Straka joined Rory McIlroy as the only two players to win multiple tournaments in 2025. He outlasted Shane Lowry to win the Truist Championship by two shots with a 16-under overall score.
Lowry trailed by one and had a shot to put on the pressure, but made his second bogey in three holes to record his second runner-up finish of the season. It was heartbreaking to lose as Lowry did, but it gave him his fourth Top 10 of the year.
Meanwhile, Straka had a slight hiccup at 10 and 11 when he dropped back-to-back shots, but his birdie on the par-5 15th gave him the advantage. He made three pars to come in, enough to give him his fourth career PGA Tour victory.
With the Truist Championship being a Signature Event, the elevated purse was $20 million. The former Georgia Bulldog won $3.6 million and 700 FedEx Cup points. It pushed him from No. 4 to No. 2 in the season-long race.
Lowry tied with Justin Thomas for second place at 14-under overall. Both will take home $1,7600,000. Patrick Cantlay, Jacob Bridgeman and Tommy Fleetwood tied for fourth place to win $826,666 each.
Rory McIlroy and Keith Mitchell were T7 with two more players to earn $603,250 each. The Northern Irishman earned his fifth top 5 of the season at Philadelphia Cricket Club and will head into the second major with a lot of momentum.
With his check from the Truist Championship, McIlroy sits at $104,919,248 in career earnings, slowly inching towards Tiger Woods in the top spot.
