Scottie Scheffler

“Patience is always a good thing. Especially in a career like this, you need to ride the ups and downs; take the rough with the smooth.”

“I would say I value the opinions of my close friends who truly know me, versus, like, the perception of someone who sees me from outside the room.”

“When I step up onto the tee at a tournament, my thought process is always about my preparation. So, when I step up on the first tee, I just remind myself: I've done the work. I've done everything I could. I've checked all the boxes. And I've done everything to where I can go out here and play well.”

“I believe in Jesus. Ultimately, I think that's what defines me the most.”

“I don't put anything in my bag if I believe it might sacrifice performance.”

“The PGA Tour is the best place to play.”

“I have a great wife.”

“I think people expect - when you have success in whatever field it is, and I think ours especially, when people see it happen on TV, they expect you to change.”

“I don't like not being good at something.”

“As a professional, it has been about making small, incremental improvements to my game and body and keeping my focus on the short term.”

“If I hit a really good 6-iron, sometimes it's going to go to 2 feet and sometimes it's going to go to 15 feet, and it's like, 'well... it doesn't make a huge difference.' But if I have a 6-footer and I hit a really good putt and one time it goes in and one time it doesn't, everyone is like 'Oh, why did he miss that putt?'”

“Hitting too many shots that over-curve to the right? The cause is almost always an open face in relation to your swing path.”

“I don't celebrate accomplishments that well. I don't feel like I dwell on failures that much either.”

“I think, when I'm nervous, it actually helps me focus.”

“Winning multiple times and getting to No. 1 in the world - something beyond my capacity to dream about back in elementary school - has been an incredible byproduct of keeping things simple and as normal as possible, and I'm not going to change that now.”

“I try to do my best to keep my personal life out of kind of the public eye.”

“Winning golf tournaments doesn't give me any brownie points at home.”

“I fought a lot of stuff during college.”

“I grew up wearing long pants to go practice because I wanted to be a professional golfer.”

“In high school, I narrowed it down to just basketball and golf.”
