Breaking News: Scottie Scheffler Is Good at Golf

We’re going out on a limb with this one and saying on record that Scottie Scheffler (the #1 ranked player in the world since 2023) is pretty good at golf.

Check out the fairly decent chip shot he came up with for a birdie on 17 at the BMW Championship in Owings Mills, Maryland. He went on to par the 18th hole and win the tournament by two strokes.

You heard it here first, folks. We feel confident saying Scottie Scheffler is at least not terrible at golf. Now he just needs to rack up 28 more wins – and 6 majors – in the next 10 months to match Tiger’s pace by age 30. 👀

Of note: Scottie also trails Tiger 3 to 1 in unflattering car-related incidents.

Tiger had his 2021 car crash, his 2017 DUI, and his wife Elin smashed up his Escalade with a 9-iron after she caught him cheating on her with ~10,000 women in 2009.

Scottie has so far only had the one arrest in 2024, when he drove around a police barricade at the PGA Championship in Louisville, KY, and allegedly dragged a cop down the street with his car. Those charges were later dropped, so he obviously still has much to learn about what the word “champion” means.
