We knew it was inevitable and Friday successfully secured that. Saturday slammed the door shut.
Scottie Scheffler gained the Open Championship on Sunday at Royal Portrush, turned the Champion Golfer of the 12 months, is the reigning PGA Championship winner, occurs to be the top-ranked golfer on this planet… and he’s now a U.S. Open away from a profession grand slam.
At one level on Sunday issues turned fairly laughable. Scheffler, as soon as once more at sure level, had a seven-shot lead and this complete factor was hilarious in how a lot he has dominated golf since successful The Masters for the primary time in 2022.
For a second there was query about Scheffler’s potential with the putter and he put that to relaxation (after which some) in securing the Claret Jug. There may be not a single aspect of his sport that isn’t world-class for the time being and the comparisons to Tiger Woods write themselves.
The FedExCup Playoffs and Ryder Cup stay on this season, however it’s onerous to not say that we simply lived one other 12 months that was The 12 months of Scottie Scheffler. What is really exceptional about that is that on this particular 12 months Rory McIlroy – the participant of his technology – gained the profession grand slam himself by lastly securing a Masters Inexperienced Jacket. Golf actually delivered from a serious championship standpoint in 2025.
There isn’t a restrict to what we are able to dream or hold forth for Scheffler’s future inside this sport. He’s properly on document that he doesn’t outline his future to be wherever apart from along with his religion and household, a perspective on life that’s actually giving him the required disposition to function the best way that he does event in and event out.
Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler, Champion Golfer of the 12 months.
