Scheffler, the No. 1 player in golf since May of last year, leads a 60-man field that features the top seven players in the world ranking.
Golfer Scottie Scheffler eyes the line before putting on No. 18 during the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, May 23, 2024.SAINT QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Scottie Scheffler picked a good time to remodel his golf room at his home in Dallas, an office where he keeps trophies and He started winning, and then winning some more. He collected six PGA Tour trophies through June, the most of anyone since Arnold Palmer in 1962.
That’s been Scheffler’s mantra since he began this blistering pace two years ago. Golf is what he plays, it’s not what defines him. He separates home from work. “I’ve just been out here competing and I’ve been fortunate to have a few wins, but when I show up to a tournament, I don’t feel any different,” Scheffler said. “I’m not trying to be any different. I don’t show up acting like the No. 1 player in the world. I don’t show up as anybody other than myself, and I just try to do my best to compete.”The additional attention has been a challenge, and Scheffler got a taste of that over the weekend when he went to the Louvre with his family.
“I held The Players trophy in one hand, and I had another trophy in the other hand and walked in the living room like, ‘Wassup, Mere,’” he said with a laugh.That’s the extent of it. He married his high school girlfriend. They had their first child in May. He plays golf for a living and has produced an elite tee-to-green game at a level not seen since the peak years of Tiger Woods. In his eyes, nothing has changed but the number of trophies and earnings that top $28 million.
Players are still trying to gauge the value of a gold medal in a sport where the emphasis is on four majors each year.“It would be very special to have the gold medal. If I don’t, my life is certainly not going to end,” Scheffler said. “But it would be extremely special, and it’s one of the reasons why I’m here. I love going to watch table tennis. But that’s not why I showed up.
