Scottie Scheffler

“Every kid, I'm sure, is a lot different, so I think you manage them each differently.”

“I feel like I live two separate lives. I have my life when I'm out here on the road and you're playing golf in front of people and I've got to do interviews and stuff like that. But then when I go home and I go about my life, golf's not really that crazy of a popular sport.”

“I don't really look at the world rankings very often, but with that being said, it's nice to be No. 1. It's not something I focus on; it's not something I place my identity in.”

“I feel like I say it a bunch: Golf's something that I do. It's a tremendously huge part of my life. But it doesn't define me as a person. It's just something that I do. And I happen to be good at it some weeks.”

“I qualified for the U.S. Open twice while at school, with my sister on the bag. I never finished high enough where it would've changed a bunch of plans for me. I was having too much fun playing college golf to want to leave, anyway.”

“I love competing, I love trying to get the most out of my game out here, and I typically try to keep the off-course life as quiet as possible.”

“I'll look at social media occasionally, but when I do, I find myself putting too much emphasis on what everyone else is doing. Everyone's posting how great things are for them; it doesn't feel real to me.”

“The media is 15 minutes of my day, sometimes 30. So it's not the biggest thing to do. I'll answer the questions and then I'll go about my business.”

“In my lifetime, Tiger has been the guy that has dominated. I don't know if we will ever see anything like that in the game of golf.”

“I feel like playing professional golf is an endlessly not-satisfying career.”

“I mark my ball with the same coin every time. It's a Dallas Cowboys ball marker. I'm not superstitious, though. If I lost it, I'd probably just use a quarter.”

“If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to be patient and keep trying to improve a little bit at a time.”

“I have great parents.”

“I'm a faithful guy. I believe in a Creator.”

“That's something you never really get the opportunity to do very often. It's tough enough to win one Players, so to have it back-to-back is extremely special, and yeah, really thankful.”

“When you sit there and start enjoying the victories too often, you forget about what got you there. That's why I always try to stay in the present and try and get a little bit better at a time.”

“I was lucky to have many tour players practicing at my home course, Royal Oaks in Dallas, where they would come to work with my coach, Randy Smith. From the time I was 7, I got a front-row seat in a class that taught what it would take to play at the highest level, from the shots to the preparation to the attitude.”

“I had some pretty low points in college where I really fought my swing and I fought some injuries.”
