The path to victory at the Ryder Cup requires a different mindset than other golf tournaments. If you want to win (or predict the winner!), you can’t view these players as individuals. If you did, every list imaginable would put Scottie Scheffler at No.1.
Scheffler’s first win in America’s Golden State constitutes the 19th official PGA Tour title of his career, all of them coming since he broke through at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. He also won the Olympic gold medal in 2024.
Griffin didn’t say it in a mean way. It was more of an off-the-cuff, honest remark that followed with him admitting that he knows those in the gallery and tournament officials feel differently.
Scheffler’s tee-to-green game was impeccable as he ranked first in strokes gained/off the tee, third in driving accuracy, ninth in driving distance and second in strokes gained/approach.
Scheffler’s efforts at the Tour Championship earned him some $US2.6 million in prizemoney, but it would have been a lot more under the staggered-start format that had been used from 2019 to 2024.
Scottie Scheffler erased a big deficit early, took the reins at the halfway point, held on like hell and delivered an exclamation mark at the end, capturing the BMW Championship for his fifth win of the season.
When you’re the world’s best golfer, you can afford flash cars, million-dollar mansions, even your own private jet. But Scottie Scheffler? He just forked out $50 on eBay for… a divot repair tool.
