About this listen
Scottie Scheffler has just wrapped up one of the most remarkable stretches in modern golf. Over the past few days, Scheffler finished his historic 2025 season at East Lake during the TOUR Championship, making a final-round run that just fell short due to a costly water ball on the infamous 15th hole. Despite missing the chance to become the first-ever back-to-back FedExCup champion—an achievement held only by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to date—Scheffler still managed to place fourth and cap a year being called one of the greats by PGA Tour News and Golf Channel insiders. The season saw him claim five titles, including the PGA Championship, THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, the Memorial, the Open Championship, and the BMW Championship. He also became the first player since Ben Hogan in the 1950s to notch 14 straight top-eight finishes in PGA Tour events, further fueling those comparisons to generational icons.
A deeply human moment came on Sunday at East Lake as Scheffler, along with other players and caddies, wore a yellow ribbon in support of Joel Scott, the nephew of his longtime caddie Ted Scott. Joel is recovering from a serious mishap, and the gesture was a poignant reminder that, in Scheffler's words, the game is about more than the scorecard. Ted Scott had missed the previous two events to be with his family, but he returned to the bag in Atlanta, grounding the team through a bittersweet finale.
Post round, Scheffler was candid in his press interactions, addressing his putting frustrations while maintaining composure and his commitment to sticking with his process, as seen in his press conference coverage by the PGA Tour. In a lighter moment, he laughed off the first tee mispronouncing his name and dismissed any notion that being a minute late rattled him.
Away from the competitive grind, Scheffler made a gentle social media splash. A heartfelt photo of him and his one-year-old son on the green went viral—Catholic News Agency, among others, noted the emotional resonance as fans and players alike saw another side of the champion. Meanwhile, on Instagram, another collaborative post featuring Scheffler discussing life's "cheat codes" made the rounds last week, drawing thousands of likes.
Looking ahead, Sports Business Journal reports that Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are set to headline a new December team event, each serving as captains in what’s tipped to be a star-studded international versus U.S. showcase, further confirming his status as one of golf’s premier drawcards.
For fans tracking every Scottie story, these past few days have been a microcosm of why Scheffler is not just dominant but deeply admired by peers and fans alike, both for his play and his character.
