Scottie Scheffler

The Players Championship has a way about it where it can turn wild and wonderful down the stretch of the tournament. Monster comebacks, dramatic, clutch ...

In all, it was a double bogey 7 and drops him to 8 under. His lead remains five over Tyrrell Hatton who has been in the clubhouse for quite some time. 3 was the bottom man on the totem pole. To make matters worse, the putter is just flat out bad at the moment as he lost roughly five strokes to the field on the greens. He had great iron performances in the middle portion of this tournament and impressed from around the green on Sunday. That was as good as it would get for him as he played his final 54 holes in even par including a disappointing day of even par on Saturday when conditions were at their easiest. There is a legitimate case to be made that he is a top five player in the world as he slowly makes the transition from his native poa annua putting surfaces to the grainy Bermuda of the East Coast. Playing his front nine in even par, Hatton rode the heater of the year thus far when he signed for a 29 -- tying the back-nine record at TPC Sawgrass -- and posted the clubhouse lead at 12 under. His hands are the softest when moments are tensest and his knuckles should be the whitest. A birdie on 10 was just rude, and two more on 11 and 12 put those who have claimed Jon Rahm to be the best player in the world on high alert. Four boring pars in a row put Scheffler back on track and through conventional run-of-the-mill play his lead had grown to three. He leads by five and is now on the 17th tee.

Scottie Scheffler secured a sixth PGA Tour title in 13 months and moved back top of the world rankings with a dominant five-shot victory at The Players.

"I did a really good job of staying patient, trying not to force things," Scheffler said. I am just trying to improve, not overthink things. Hatton reached the turn level-par but followed a 20-foot birdie at the 10th by converting from six feet at the driveable 12th, with the Englishman then responding to a missed chance from 10 feet at the next by birdieing each of the final five holes to equal the lowest back-nine total in tournament history. Lee scramble par on his next two holes and drained a 30-foot birdie at the seventh to briefly get back within two, only for the Australian to bogey the next and found himself four behind when Scheffler chipped in from off the eighth green. Min Woo Lee - playing in the final group - immediately reduced the overnight advantage with a six-foot birdie at the first and then benefited from a drop near a sprinkler head in the rough to scramble a par at the next, where Scheffler also made a five after being unable to replicate the chip-in from the rough the previous day. Scheffler slipped back into a share of the lead when he missed from five feet to save par at the third, where his playing partner got up and down to save par, although jumped three clear when Lee had to pitch out of thick rough and then found water at the fourth on his way to a triple-bogey seven.

Scottie Scheffler's going to need a bigger trophy case if he keeps this up. After defending his title last month at the WM Phoenix Open, Scheffler claimed ...

Pickle ball, basketball, he’s a freak athlete that has this mental capability that he can go into a tunnel vision and shoot low numbers.” But just as Hatton climbed within a stroke of the lead, Scheffler went on the offensive and pulled away for good with his birdie binge to win $4.5 million, the richest prize on the Tour. “Golf courses where he can be creative show off his best attributes because he’s such a great athlete,” Hickok said. 1 in the world.” Women’s Open champion, grabbed a share of the lead with a birdie at the first and a bogey by Scheffler at the third, but it was short-lived. “I knew he was going to chip that in,” Smith said later. A day earlier Scheffler let it be known that his chip-in for eagle at the second hole won him a season-long bet with Scott. “I think if you asked him, it’s no surprise that he’s No. “There’s no weaknesses.” “It looks just kind of homegrown, which I always feel like works pretty well,” Homa said. “It happened really quick,” Lee said. He was hanging around after rolling in a 28-foot birdie putt at the seventh to cut the deficit to two strokes, the same amount he trailed by at the start of the day.

Scottie Scheffler took home a record winner's check after cruising to a convincing victory at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.

There are a few weeks remaining, and maybe a start or two for Scheffler, before the first major of the season arrives. He parred 15 and 16 and walked to the tee box of the diabolical 17th hole with a five-stroke lead. He punched out, knocked it onto the green and, of course, rolled in the 20-footer to save par. It’s Scheffler’s sixth career PGA Tour victory, and all of them have come between February and April the past two seasons. “I knew the conditions were going to get really hard late and I did a really good job of staying patient, not trying to force things,” Scheffler said. Scheffler, while playing the 16th, could see balls splashing and hear the crowd’s reaction. That turned out to be the number the majority of the contenders not named Scheffler sat around for most of the day on Sunday, but none stayed there. Scheffler missed the fairway on 14 and was forced to punch out and made bogey. Lee, who was just two back standing on the 8th tee, was suddenly 10 behind. Just like that Scheffler had a three-stroke lead over Maysuyama, Lee and Several holes ahead, Hideki Matsuyama was also making a move, birdieing six of eight to get to 12 under and just one back. Pete Dye’s TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course was built to produce drama and award precision, especially on the watery closing stretch that’s highlighted by the iconic par-3 island-green 17th.

Scottie Scheffler overtook Jon Rahm and reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Rankings on Sunday afternoon.

The American, who would supplant Jon Rahm at the top of the rankings with success at TPC Sawgrass, held a three-shot lead midway through his final round on ...

His attempt to chip back over a road from the rough also did not go to plan and two shots were lost. He began on 14 under, two ahead of playing partner Min Woo Lee, but that lead was wiped out within three holes. Hatton was also safely in the clubhouse after coming home in a tournament record 29 for a brilliant 65.

The American Scottie Scheffler finished on 17 under for his second win this season while England's Tyrrell Hatton was second on 12 under.

He’s in a good position to be able to continue to do this for a while.” “When I feel like I get the better of him it’s a boost of confidence. “It’s as simple as that where it’s a level-playing-field rule, going out, trying our best every week and if you play better, then you’re going to be in the bigger events. He is already a near-certainty to represent Europe once again at the Ryder Cup in Italy in September. The Englishman played the closing half in 29 – matching a record – and birdied the last five holes while en route to a 65. After completion of the Ryder Cup in the autumn of 2021, and as well as the victories, Scheffler has 14 top-10 finishes.

Scheffler reclaimed the world No. 1 position with his dominant victory at TPC Sawgrass.

Scottie Scheffler shot 10 under par in the final two rounds to seize his first Players Championship victory and regain the No. 1 spot in the world.

In a tournament with all kinds of weather and plenty of travails for some of the world’s best, Scheffler was remarkably steady, consistent, and often brilliant. And then I got hot in the middle of the round and tried to put things away as quickly as I could.” The Texan doesn’t lack confidence or ability, and so, of course, Scheffler pulled a 3-wood from his bag and tried to drive the green.

When boring golf is winning golf, there are far worse ways to describe one's game.

Is it more fun to watch Spieth carry on about the wind and the spin and the way the Earth's axis is affecting his fade? It's a run with no end in sight because, like Rahm, Scheffler isn't putting out of his mind (he was field average this week), and he's not really achieving anything outside of his baseline ability. Maybe so when it comes to entertainment value, but quite the opposite is true if a golfer wants to win world-class events with consistency. Just remember to breathe, and breathing is part of my routine, and I've imagined being in those moments and so I know that I'm prepared to be in them. All I can do is just try and hit a got and after that the rest isn't up to me." He played to the fat part of almost every green and missed on the proper side of every fairway. The flip side is that plenty of golfer have boring games, but almost none are as gifted at the basics as Scheffler. "If you miss it pin high on that hole to either of those pins you're more than likely going to make a bogey. A statistician who advises golfers described Scheffler's dispersion pattern as tight and described how he moves that dispersion to the proper side more often than most. "If I wasn't playing that smart, I would have been in a really tough position. This was all part of the plan coming into the week: strike balls into oblivion and hope you make enough putts to come out on top. When played correctly at its the highest level, golf is not exactly supposed to be a thrill ride.

The 2022 Masters champion, however, brushed all of them aside with a birdie run started by a chip-in on the eight hole and culminated with a nifty up-and-down ...

Scheffler uses a 60-degree Titleist Vokey SM9 WedgeWorks model that he uses almost exclusively around the greens. The weights on the sole of the club are a 19-gram backweight and an 18-gram moveable front weight placed in a neutral position. Minimising mistakes is paramount at TPC Sawgrass, and Scheffler made only five bogeys all week – thanks to getting up and down 13 of 18 times, ranked fourth (which does not take into account some sporty short-game work that led to birdies). Scheffler ranked first in driving distance at 279.7 metres (305.9 yards) and ranked second in strokes gained/off the tee, gaining more than five shots on the field. For Scheffler it marked the 10th time he had been in a final pairing since 2020, and the familiarity with the atmosphere was evident. Then Tyrrell Hatton birdied the last five holes to post 12-under and sit just two behind Scheffler.

Of course, we can assume that if you have $300,000 sitting around and are firing it on golf outrights, $3.3 million is probably not going to be too life-changing. His win at the Players Championship was his second victory at a designated event in 2023, and with the record prize money on the PGA Tour these days, the 26-year-old’s season earnings now add up to $10.59 million … Well, it turns out, it’s also good to be one particular bettor at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The gallery reacts to Scottie Scheffler after just winning the Players Championship, his sixth victory in the last 13 months. James Gilbert.

And now he is stepping on the competition in a way that Golf Channel’s Paul McGinley described as “Tigeresque.” He was referring to this particular performance in which he posted four rounds in the 60s at the Stadium Course and registered the largest victory in the Players since Stephen Ames won by six in 2006. In other words, the run that Scheffler currently enjoys far exceeds his recent window of success but is rather the culmination of a lifelong dedication to golf. “I did a good job of being a good junior, and then I was a pretty good college player, and then I played good on the Korn Ferry Tour, and I just keep trying to get a little bit better. There aren't likely to be many players, if any—Rahm and Justin Thomas come to mind as equals—who are more invested and immersed in the game for the game itself. “His consistency comes from just having that overall skill level and the confidence you get from knowing there are different ways of winning.” It doesn’t hurt that he’s a gifted athlete, that he is 6-foot-3, sinewy strong and driven to succeed. there's nothing to lose, everything to gain for him, and it's a really nice place to be where he's at,” Spieth said. “When I feel like I get the better of him, it's a boost of confidence because he's arguably the best player in the world right now. Rahm has an argument to the contrary, winning five of his last 11 starts worldwide and three times this year. I guess you guys have all written about how that change [in the world ranking] has gone down, but it's easy to say right now that I consider him the best in the world.” 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, the third time he has risen to the top of golf’s very deep, talented heap. With a step-on-their-throats burst of five straight birdies around the turn—a display of bloodless, brutal golf that exceptional players summon at crucial times—Scheffler pulled away to win by five over Tyrrell Hatton.

[Taylor Montgomery](http://www.espn.com/golf/player/_/id/437285/taylor-montgomery), who was tied for fourth until a bogey on the 15th, a double bogey on No. [Tyrrell Hatton](http://www.espn.com/golf/player/_/id/5553/tyrrell-hatton) birdied his last five holes for a 65, finishing when Scheffler was making the turn. Commissioner Jay Monahan introduced him as the PGA Tour player of the year in 2022, and now the Players champion in 2023. He was 7 under for the round through 13 holes and had to settle for a 68. He dropped 40 spots on the leaderboard, and, at No. The wind was gusting close to 30 mph, which only adds to the trouble on this course. Hatton teed off two hours ahead of Scheffler, and he capped off his closing run of five straight birdies as Scheffler headed for the back nine. He hit an ideal shot to 10 feet, made par and the rest was easy. The wind was getting stronger, the targets looked smaller, and all he wanted was to make sure his lead got larger in The Players Championship. He now has six victories in his past 27 starts on the PGA Tour, including the four wins he had last year culminated by his Masters title. "You can't limp in on this golf course," he said. The victory was worth $4.5 million and sent Scheffler back to No.
