Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 golfer, humorously recounted his recent loss to a 10-handicap golfer, demonstrating his competitive nature and love for the game. Despite his dominance, having won 18 times since 2022, he showcases humility by recognizing his fallibility. As he prepares for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, discussions about golf's future are overshadowed by the uncertainty of LIV's potential merger with traditional tours. Rory McIlroy's negativity about these reunifications highlights the current tension within professional golf, underscoring the need for lighter moments like Scheffler's anecdote.
I got out of the way because I thought he could potentially shank it and he ended up holing it... I didn't like losing. I handed him the money and then I told him: Thanks, man. Now I got to go play a golf tournament next week so I appreciate the confidence boost that I just lost to a 10 handicap.
That's kind of one of the great things about golf, I can go out with a guy who is going to shoot 90 and I can give him enough strokes to where we'll have a good competition.
Professional golf finds itself in such a pickle that it requires these light-hearted episodes.
The word around the Bay Hill campfire is that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund was not altogether enamoured by what appeared on offer.
