Scottie Scheffler, as of October 26, 2023, has won one major championship in his professional golf career. That major is The Masters Tournament, which he won in 2022.
Scheffler’s victory at Augusta National in 2022 was a dominant performance. He entered the tournament as the number one ranked golfer in the world and lived up to the hype. After a steady first round of 69 (-3), Scheffler fired a stellar 67 (-5) in the second round to take a commanding lead. He continued his strong play with a 71 (-1) in the third round, extending his advantage over the field.
The final round saw some drama, but Scheffler ultimately prevailed. He started with a bogey on the first hole, but quickly rebounded with birdies on the third and fourth. While he faced some pressure from Rory McIlroy, who shot a final-round 64, Scheffler held his nerve and closed out the tournament with a final round of 71 (-1). He finished the tournament at 10-under par, three strokes ahead of McIlroy.
Winning The Masters is a career-defining achievement for any golfer. It not only earns them a green jacket and lifetime invitation to the tournament, but also elevates their status in the game and opens doors to other opportunities and endorsements. For Scheffler, the victory cemented his position as one of the top players in the world.
Prior to his Masters win, Scheffler had shown immense promise and talent. He had several strong finishes in major championships, including a tie for fourth at the 2020 PGA Championship and a tie for eighth at the 2021 PGA Championship. He also represented the United States in the 2021 Ryder Cup, contributing to the American victory. These experiences undoubtedly prepared him for the pressure of competing for a major title.
While Scheffler has only one major championship to his name so far, he remains a consistent contender in major tournaments. His strong ball-striking, composed demeanor, and mental fortitude make him a threat to win every time he tees it up. Given his talent and dedication, many observers expect him to add more major titles to his resume in the years to come. He has consistently been in contention and close calls at majors such as the PGA Championship and US Open since his Masters win, signaling that he is more than capable of winning again.
