'He has a feel for what he wants the golf ball to do. He isn’t a robot. He’s an athlete,' says the only coach Scheffler has ever had.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The No. 1 player in the world looks like he has rollerblades strapped to his golf shoes. As Scottie Scheffler delivers his club down the slot and strikes the ball, his right foot lifts off the ground and slides toward the target. Scheffler swings with so much power that sometimes, his left foot also leaves the earth, shifting backward while his big toe simultaneously rotates counterclockwise.

“Greg Norman, Johnny Miller, Walter Hagen — even Bobby Jones would hit shots and he’d be on his tippy toes,” says Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour player Brandel Chamblee. “There are loads of players who’ve had footwork , and it’s even more prevalent now.” Scottie Scheffler has embraced his unique footwork on his way to No. 1 in the world. Regardless of who Scheffler evoked on the golf course, Smith worked with what was in front of him on the driving range at Royal Oaks.
