The 2025 Jeopardy! Masters tournament concluded with a nail-biting Final Jeopardy round, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. After two intense games, Yogesh Raut emerged as the new Jeopardy! Masters champion, clinching victory with a bold wager and a correct response in the final round. Raut finished with a combined total of $41,601, securing the $500,000 grand prize and the coveted Alex Trebek trophy.
Juveria Zaheer, making her Masters debut, delivered a remarkable performance and finished in second place with $36,800, taking home $250,000. Victoria Groce, last year’s champion, came in third with $36,400 and a $150,000 prize.
The decisive Final Jeopardy clue in the category "Paintings" asked about an artist who depicted a kindred spirit in 1890 with flowers used to treat heart disease. All three finalists correctly identified Dr. Gachet as the subject, but it was Raut’s strategic wager that sealed his championship status.
With this win, Yogesh Raut joins the ranks of Jeopardy! Masters legends, following in the footsteps of James Holzhauer and Victoria Groce.
