Scottie Scheffler had a strong showing at the last tournament, the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025, finishing in third place with a total score of 15 shots under par. The 29-year-old golfer played 3 under par (67 shots) in the final round, but he failed to celebrate this time. 

Justin Rose celebrated in a dramatic playoff against J.J. Spaun. 

In an interview with the media, Scheffler reflected on his performance. 

The world number 1 pointed out that he was satisfied with the game this week, but there were some moments where Scottie expected more from himself.

"Yeah, did a lot of good stuff, fought pretty hard most of the week. Like I said, today was a day where I executed really well, hit my lines on the greens, hit a lot of good shots going into the greens. Just ball wasn't going in. Just a little bit off, I guess.."- he said.

Scottie Scheffler on J.J. Spaun

J.J. Spaun is having a dream season. While the seasoned golfer hasn't been a dominant figure on the PGA Tour in recent years, he seems to be an unstoppable enigma to many this year. 

Scheffler had nothing but praise for him, praising various aspects of Spaun's game. 

There are many things that make this golfer so superior and great, and it looks like he could continue to be just as strong in the future.

"Yeah, he's a great player. He's got a ton of talent. He hits it really, really solid. To win a U.S. Open you've got to grind really hard, and he's a guy that he gets the ball in play, hits it really solid and he holes a lot of putts. He's a tough guy to beat.

You love seeing guys like that have success, guys that work hard and get the most out of their games, and J.J. is definitely one of those guys that's a grinder out here. You always see him practicing, see him in the gym. Definitely happy to see him having the success that he has.."

Tommy Fleetwood once again came close but fell short of his first PGA Tour victory at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship. The English golfer had an advantage before the last round, but in the end he fell short of the victory, finishing as T3, together with Scottie Scheffler. 

This tournament brought a tense and exciting finish, with Justin Rose, celebrating a playoff victory over J.J. Spaun.

This was Fleetwood's 43rd top-10 finish without a win, the most among active players. 

Speaking to the media, Fleetwood shared his optimism about the future, especially praising fans who emphasize how great Fleetwood's positivity is.

Tommy enjoyed the atmosphere of this tournament.

"Well, as long as they stay with me and stay on my side, then we can all look for the positives. Yeah, I'm lucky with the support that I get, and I have enjoyed — I haven't been in contention much this year, and then Travelers obviously leading and I felt like it was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed playing in that atmosphere and then today again I get the crowd on my side and I love their support. I'm so appreciative of it. Kind of on this journey together here.

You just have to keep — all these experiences and these close calls, like I say, there's no point in making or allowing them to have a negative effect on what happens next. What would be the point?"- he said.

Tommy Fleetwood looked up to Justin Rose

Fleetwood admitted that as a boy he looked up to Justin Rose, the winner of this tournament. Tommy is most impressed with Rose's dedication and passion for golf. 

Fleetwood has nothing against his victory; even put on; he enjoys because he lives in the era of Justin Rose, a golfer who shows that age is no barrier if you are hungry and eager to succeed.

Scottie Scheffler shares a funny golf memory: Actually, you’re still paying, buddy

Scottie Scheffler, with his dominance, is becoming an increasingly interesting figure on the golf scene. The 29-year-old golfer arouses the interest of the public, and his press releases are more and more interesting. Reporters do not only focus on his performances, but also want to find out more about his past and the specifics of his upbringing. 

Scottie is not a person who opens up a lot, nor does he touch on his childhood and growing up, but reporters often try to get interesting information from him. 

At the press conference before the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs, the world number 1 got some interesting questions, and one of them was really specific: Does Scottie Scheffler remember the last time he paid for a round of golf? 

The 29-year-old made everyone present laugh with a story that happened a few years ago.

"Last time I paid for a round of golf? It's been a while. I remember the last time I didn't get to pay for a round of golf and one of my buddies in the pro shop had to pay for the round of golf. That was pretty funny. We walked into the pro shop at the local public course, and I knew the pro there, and he was like, hey, Scottie, how you doing, great to have you out. I was like, I'd like to just pay for the round, we're teeing off at 2:00. He's like, you're good. My buddy was like, thanks, man, that's awesome, appreciate it. He's like, actually, you've got to pay.

It was probably five years ago and we still laugh about it to this day because he was so excited to get the free round and the pro was like, actually you're still paying, buddy.."- he said.

Scheffler's future

It is hard to imagine Scheffler paying for a round of golf, especially now that he is such an important figure on the golf scene. Some are predicting that Scottie will break all the records of the golf icon, but giving such predictions at this moment seems too optimistic.

There is no doubt that Scottie could achieve much greater success, but the important thing is that he remains healthy, just as motivated, but even so, there are many factors that will dictate his path.

Scottie Scheffler wants to expand his festival

BMW

The PGA Tour season enters its final stretch this Thursday. The FedEx St. Jude Championship kicks off, the first of three tournaments that will determine the 2025 FedEx Cup champion.

Three separate events—this week's St. Jude, next week's BMW Championship, and the Tour Championship in two weeks' time—will determine the victory of the tour's annual season. The winner of the Tour Championship will claim the tour title. On the other hand, this PGA Tour playoff is scheduled weeks before the Ryder Cup.

Scottie Scheffler, results

The points for the winners of these tournaments are quadrupled compared to the regular season tournaments, so 2,000 are distributed to the winners in the first two events, before the Tour Championship decides the champion. Furthermore, the various tournaments, which are played without a cut, are eliminatory: of the seventy participants at St. Jude, only the top fifty in the annual rankings will advance to the BMW. After that, the cut will be set at thirty for the final Tour Championship.

The winner of that last tournament will be taken into account to determine the FedEx Cup champion. However, as a novelty this season, the players' starting scores will not be taken into account the annual tour ranking. Everyone will start at par.

Thus, a total of seventy players, the best of the season in the FedEx Cup, have secured a ticket to a FedEx St. Jude tournament to be played at TPC Southwind in Memphis this weekend. All eyes will be on one man: Scottie Scheffler. The American, a strong favorite for the final victory of the season, enters this tournament as the solid leader of the annual rankings and in peak form.

The British Open champion just under three weeks ago, Scheffler returns with all eyes on him. He has won four of his last eight tournaments and hasn't dropped out of the top 10 since The Players in March. A testament to his absolute consistency.

As if that weren't enough, he's seeking his second consecutive FedEx Cup, a feat no one has achieved since the format's launch in 2007. It would be another milestone for a player who continues to shape the future of golf, with two majors (he also won the PGA Championship) and four wins this year, and is poised to be at full strength for the Ryder Cup in a few weeks.

Furthermore, Scheffler (4,806 points in the standings) will not have his greatest rival in the fight for the FedEx Cup, Rory McIlroy (3,444), in the opening tournament, which reaffirms his favoritism for this first tournament. The American and Northern Irishman have a solid grip on the top two spots in the annual rankings heading into the final tournament, a situation that has led a tired McIlroy to save his energy for the next two weeks.

Thus, Scheffler's biggest rivals in the first tournament are Sepp Straka (2,595 points), Russell Henley (2,391), and Justin Thomas (2,280). The world number one is aiming to make the final push to distance all his rivals by more than 2,000 points before the BMW Championship and, with that, lock down that top spot heading into the final event.

Of course, there will be no shortage of other big names. J.J. Spaun, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Justin Rose, and Hideki Matsuyama are, among others, candidates to win this first tournament beyond the annual rankings. Players like Matthew Fitzpatrick, Schauffele, and Jordan Spieth are nearing the top 50 positions that qualify for the BMW Championship, so there's a lot at stake starting this week.

Scottie Scheffler reveals his secret recipe for consistency

elite golfer and an average golfer

While some think that in order to be successful and an important figure in the sports world, it is necessary to be of high quality, there are many other things that determine your path to the top. In addition to quality, it is necessary to have the right mindset; for some, maybe even more important than pure talent. 

However, most emphasize that consistency is what makes the difference between an elite golfer and an average golfer. 

The best example of consistency is probably Scottie Scheffler, the golfer who is currently world number 1. 

In a press conference before one of the tournaments, Scottie reflected on his incredible performances; with 13 straight top-10 finishes he impressed the public. 

Speaking about how he maintains consistency, Scheffler pointed out that preparation is the key to success. 

Each tournament requires different preparations, but still, without the right preparations, it is difficult to come out on top.

"Well, I think it all comes down to the preparation and showing up ready to play. Like I said, at this point in the year, that extra practice is maybe only going to be draining for me a little bit, and that's something that I've learned to manage as my career has gone on.

I would say my prep week last week definitely looked a bit different than it would have looked before the Scottish Open and definitely looked a little bit different than it would have looked if you go back to the beginning of the year when I was coming off injury.

So making sure I'm rested, ready to play. My game is in a good spot, and I feel like some extra practice at this point in the year can almost be detrimental in terms of just physical and mental fatigue. Showing up like you're ready to play."- he said.

Scottie Scheffler as an example to young golfer

Such advice can be useful, especially for young golfers who sometimes believe that pure talent can compensate for practice. 

It seems that no matter how talented you are, without practice, it is difficult to compete with the best and be a significant figure in the world of golf.

Scheffler realized this early in his career, and through hard practice and faith in himself, he managed to conquer the golf scene.

Scottie Scheffler shares funny celebration moment with son after Open win

Posted by on

Bennett

Winning the Open Championship was a big deal for Scottie Scheffler. The 29-year-old golfer was extremely motivated to win the tournament, and ultimately, he came away with a very important victory. 

The popular golfer failed to be such an important figure at this Major in the past, but he never once thought about giving up. Waiting for his chance for a little longer, Scheffler conquered the competition and came out on top in the fierce competition. 

Regardless of how calm the 29-year-old is and someone who is not known for extreme behavior, Scheffler wanted to celebrate this victory with friends and family. 

The celebration seems to have lasted a long time, and Scottie has only fond memories of it.

The 29-year-old golfer wanted to celebrate such a victory in a special way, admitting that he partied with friends, even drinking from Claret Jug.

"Yeah, I did. We had a party two weeks ago at home with some of our friends, and everybody got to drink out of it. It was a lot of fun."- he said.

Photos with son Bennett

The famous golfer is a dominant figure this season as well, and this kind of victory could have been predicted much earlier. 

Scheffler wanted to celebrate this victory in a special way, deciding to take his son Bennett to Royal Oaks to take some photos. 

Scottie was quite innovative, wanting such a moment to be remembered.

"I brought it up to Royal Oaks a couple times, my home course, and one afternoon I think Meredith was getting a haircut or something, and I was resting and so I had Bennett, and I took him to Royal Oaks. He whacked some golf balls around, and we hung out for a bit. I took him to the 19th hole with me, and I got some pretty funny pictures with Bennett sitting in the 19th hole at the men's only grill where you've got to be — I think you've got to be 19 to get in there, but I figured if we bring in a couple major championship trophies with us, they'll let the rules slide on that one.

Yeah, a lot of people got to drink out of it. It was a lot of fun.."- he concluded.

LIV Golf star out-earns Scottie Scheffler in shock 2025 money list twist

Posted by on

Best Golfer ESPY Award

Scottie Scheffler is the dominant figure of the PGA Tour this year as well, and it seems that he will remain so in the long run. While it is clear that Scheffler has earned a huge amount of money, the public is shocked that the American is not the highest-earning golfer this year.

Namely, Joaquin Niemann, LIV Golf member, earned an incredible $21,212,762 this year. 

While Scottie collected 19,202,883 dollars this year, the Chilean golfer surpassed his earnings, being the dominant figure of the rival Tour. 

It is important to point out that Niemann did not excel at the Major tournaments this year, having mostly lackluster performances. Playing on the PGA Tour, Joaquin won twice, the Greenbrier in 2019 and the Genesis Invitational in 2022, after which he decided to open a new chapter in his career and join the LIV project in 2022.

A victory at a LIV tournament typically guarantees $4 million, which is nearly three times more than most PGA Tour events.

Niemann excelled this year on the Saudi-backed Tour, achieving as many as five victories. 

Fans reacted

Fans couldn't help but immediately ask the question: Would Niemann be dominant playing on the PGA Tour? Answering such questions is ungrateful and challenging, but if a merger happens, we will have a real picture of how the PGA and LIV golfers are doing. 

It seems we will have to wait a long time to see two rival Tours under the same roof. The public is not happy, but the main figures on both sides clearly want to take a bigger piece of the pie, while on the other hand there are obstacles in other areas.

For Niemann, the most important thing is to be a dominant figure on the controversial Tour, with his ambitions for the rest of the season being just as strong. It seems like he will succeed in that.

Time will tell whether Joaquin will continue to be the leader in terms of earnings by the end of the year.

Tom Brady challenges Scottie Scheffler’s view on golf versus family priorities

Posted by on

Brady

Dominating in one sport, no matter what it was, is very challenging nowadays. The competition is fierce, there are more and more athletes and it is getting harder to reach the top. 

Scottie Scheffler seems to be the first name after Tiger Woods to show dominance in golf, winning two Majors this year, but being equally dominant last season. 

In an interview with the media, the 29-year-old often emphasizes that the biggest credit for his success goes to his family. 

However, Scheffler surprised many at the last press conference, where he pointed out that his family is his priority, and that playing golf is not a priority for him.

"That's why I talk about family being my priority because it really is. … Because I'd much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer. At the end of the day, that's what's more important to me."- Scottie said.

Tom Brady reacts

While his statements caused positive emotions among golf fans, there are also those who are not quite delighted with the statements of the 29-year-old golfer. 

Tom Brady, the legend of American football, had an interesting reaction to Scheffler's statements, a bit confused why Scottie excludes golf and family, considering that they can go together. 

Brady drew a parallel between Scottie's career and his own, stressing that through playing sports he was also an example for children and family.

"Scottie said he'd rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer. And my question is: why are those mutually exclusive?" Brady wrote. 

"Sure, they're different blocks on the pyramid, but they're part of the same pyramid. They're connected! For instance, I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football."

Brady believes that by playing American football and making sacrifices to make his career, he was also making a sacrifice for his family. Tom wanted to show his family by his example how much he fights for them, but also show them what discipline, work and passion for a sport can bring. 

Brady does not want sports and family to be mutually exclusive, combining one with the other, and at the same time emphasizing that this combination can be a win-win for one person.

"My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives."- he concluded.

Gary Williams defends Scottie Scheffler’s recent “boring” victory

Posted by on

Boring

Scottie Scheffler is the main face of the golf scene at the moment, and the OWGR list speaks best of that, where Scheffler is the undisputed leader. Scottie is dominating just like last season, and there are many who consider the American golfer to be an unsolvable enigma for his opponents. 

Gary Williams, an important figure in the golf scene, spoke about Scheffler's dominance and the latest victory, which some labeled as boring. 

Golf fans stress that sometimes it is boring to watch the dominance of Scottie, but it seems that the majority do not share the same opinion. 

The dominance we haven't experienced since Tiger Woods is in the spotlight again.

“Scottie Scheffler is in a stretch of golf that you don’t see very much.

It gets to something that is interesting, whether you think the person doing it is interesting themselves. That’s what a lot of people are missing altogether when it comes to this guy."- Williams said, as quoted by the Golfing Gazette.

Scheffler's personality

There is a side that often emphasizes that Scheffler does not have the necessary charisma or energy that would make him such an important figure in the world of golf. This is also a debatable opinion, and there is another side that is happy with the dominance of such a humble man. 

Scheffler's dominance is indeed the topic of various analyzing experts, who wonder how long Scottie can stay on top and be dominant.

“So if Scottie Scheffler says or does anything that might or might not be interesting when the event is over, who cares? He is doing things in golf that only one other person [Tiger Woods] has done.

And that is, get so far ahead of the competition that he would have to take months, and maybe the next year off, for them to catch up in terms of the quantitative data to prove that they are catching up.”-he concluded.

Time will tell how much more success the 29-year-old can achieve.

How Ted Scott’s advice helped Scheffler conquer the greens at Olympics

Posted by on

France

Scottie Scheffler excelled at the Olympics in Paris, winning the gold medal last year. The American golfer was a dominant figure before, and it was expected that he could make a big step in France. 

His caddy, Ted Scott, was an important figure along the way. 

During a guest appearance on one of the podcasts, Scottie Scheffler referred to the golden medal in Paris, placing a special emphasis on the caddy. 

The American golfer is delighted with Scott's behavior, manners, and attitudes.

Although some often downplay the role of caddies in the success of golfers like Scottie Scheffler, the famous golfer stresses that Scott has always been a person whose advice was key for him.

“Teddy is an amazing caddie. He is a great person. He is one of those guys that when he meets somebody they feel like they are his best friend because he treats people so well. He is an amazing guy to be around. Everybody is his best friend. He is extremely likeable,” Scheffler said.

“So having him on the bag, he works as hard as I do, if not harder. So when he gives me information out on the golf course I can really trust knowing that he is not just making stuff up. He knows exactly what slope is up there and how the ball is going to react. He just knows his stuff so I can just go out there and try and hit the shot. I feel like with both of us out there his preparation is so important to what we do. He is just a great asset to me on the golf course and he’s one of my best friends in the whole world too, he’s just an all round great guy.”

Ted Scott's importance

Scheffler had a lot of trouble on the greens, but his caddy played a key role by offering to help him read putts on the remaining nine holes. 

Scheffler then played great, as he hit almost all the putts and in the end won the gold medal. 

The 29-year-old admitted that he probably wouldn't have been able to win the gold if Scott hadn't been by his side at the time.

Best Golfer ESPY Award

Happy Gilmore 2 caused an avalanche of reactions in the public, and important figures of the golf scene shared their opinion about it.

The movie, the sequel that golf fans have been eagerly awaiting, has finally been released.

Famous faces of the golf scene such as McIlroy, Schauffele and many others appear in this movie. 

During a podcast, Scottie Scheffler shared his thoughts on the sequel to the legendary movie, admitting that he laughed the most at Schauffele's performance in the film.

The 29-year-old is delighted with their lines and acting. 

Scheffler pointed out several names that caught his attention the most.

“The one I laughed the hardest at, and I actually texted Xander this the other day, his lines in the movie are really, really funny,” Scheffler said.

“Him and Rickie did a really good job. So did Will Zalatoris. To be honest with you, I thought everyone did a really great job. I can’t imagine how difficult it is for real actors to deal with us trying to make a movie not look terrible and they did a really good job of helping us along. It was really entertaining and really funny.”

Happy Gilmore 2: Reactions

Happy Gilmore 2 has received mostly positive reactions from the public, with many fans admitting that they laughed and enjoyed it. 

This movie had been anticipated for a long time, and the directors and producers have clearly met the public’s expectations.

It will be interesting to see if Scheffler will be a part of similar projects in the future, although he is not a person prone to such things. 

The 29-year-old wants to be as far away from the public eye as possible, primarily focused on playing and dominating the golf scene.

There was talk that the American might start a YouTube channel, but Scottie admits that he doesn't have much time for it, primarily focused on his family and career. 

Still, we'll see what the future holds.
