Rory McIlroy & Ludvig Aberg to Dethrone Scottie Scheffler as 8x PGA Tour Champ Delivers Bold Predictions

Scottie Scheffler’s dominance on the PGA Tour in 2024, which included winning a major championship and an Olympic gold medal, has set a high bar for future seasons. However, veteran golfer Billy Horschel believes that Scheffler may struggle to replicate his success in 2025.

During a recent podcast appearance, Horschel highlighted the growing strength and depth of the PGA Tour field, emphasizing that Scheffler will face tougher competition from rising stars like Ludvig Åberg and seasoned champions such as Rory McIlroy. While Horschel predicts Scheffler will win a few tournaments next year, he expressed doubt about Scheffler’s ability to match his remarkable 2024 season.

Horschel further elaborated that golfers like McIlroy and Åberg will be key challengers to Scheffler’s reign. McIlroy, despite a solid yet unspectacular 2024, is expected to elevate his game in the coming year. Åberg, though winless in 2024, has the potential to break through and become a significant force on the tour, according to Horschel.

Additionally, other top players such as Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas are poised to make their mark. With these challenges ahead, the 2025 PGA Tour season is shaping up to be highly competitive, as Scheffler faces the possibility of being dethroned by a new generation of elite golfers.
