Scottie Scheffler is willing to call time on golf when he sees his family influence it and has admitted that winning the masters was twice “unsatisfactory” while struggling with the meaning of life
Open favorite Scottie Scheffler has opened the meaning of life and golf and admitted that he wonders: “What is the point?” And the best player in the world revealed that even twice winning the masters was “an unsatisfactory undertaking” and he would stop if his job were to influence his family life.
The American is the first player since Tiger Woods in 2007 to reach 100 consecutive weeks as World No 1 – and he claimed his third major with his five shot victory at the US PGA.
And Scheffler will offer to complete the third stage of a Grand Slam career here after reducing 11 consecutive Top-Oacht Finishes during the Scottish Open last week. The ruthless winner of 16 PGA Tour events is not also known for its philosophical insights – or fascinating press conferences. Last year, the American PGA was arrested was outrageous in character.
But before he contracted the Royal Portush on the Royal Portush tomorrow, the pious Christian spoke honestly about the existential crisis with which he is confronted with playing and winning – and how his only real fulfillment of the golf course is.
“For example, look at this week,” said Scheffler. “What is the best scenario? I win this golf tournament, and then I will appear in Memphis, and it is like:” Okay, Listen, you won two Majors this year: what are you going to do this week? “

“If I come in second place this week or when I am finished last, whatever happens, we are always on our way to the following week. The show goes on. Sometimes the feeling of winning takes only a few seconds. You work your entire life to celebrate a tournament for a few minutes. It only takes a few minutes, that kind of euphoric feeling.
“Is it great to be able to win tournaments and achieve the things I have in the golf game? Yes, it brings tears to just think about it, because I have literally worked all my life to be good in this sport.
“It is very special to live your dreams, but at the end of the day I am not here to inspire the next generation of golfers. I am not here to inspire someone to be the best player in the world, because what is the point? This is not a satisfying life. It is fulfilled with the feeling of satisfaction, but it is not fulfilled with a feeling of the meaning of your heart.
“There are many people who get what they thought they would fill in life, and you get there, you get number 1 in the world, and they are from:” What is the point? ” I really believe that, because what is the point?
“If I lean back at the end of the year and try to think about things, such as that feeling of satisfaction by winning the Masters tournament, winning the PGA championship, I have a deep feeling of gratitude and appreciation for that, but it’s just hard to explain.” It’s just not satisfactory “how I would describe it.
“Why do I want to win the Open Championship so badly? I don’t know because, if I win, it will be great for two minutes. I am a bit of a disease; I love to use the work. It is one of the greatest pleasures of my life, but does it fill the deepest wishes and desires of my heart?
Asked what he finds, Scheffler added: “I love golf. I love to compete. I like to live my dreams. I love being a father. I love to take care of my son (Bennett). I love to be able to take care of my family here and golf.
“I am blessed to come here and play golf, but if my golf ever started to influence my home life or ever influenced the relationship I have with my wife (Meredith) or my son, that will be the last day that I play for a living here.
“This is not all, everything ends. This is not the most important thing in my life. That is why I struggle with me, why is this so important to me? Because I would rather be a great father than I would be a big golfer. In the end that is more important to me.”
