Scottie Scheffler is in full grind mode after his injury comeback. Fresh off his PGA Championship victory, where he secured his third major title, Scheffler wasted no time keeping the momentum alive.
Just weeks later, he defended his Memorial Tournament title, becoming the first player since Tiger Woods to win back-to-back at Muirfield Village.
His Memorial triumph further cemented his dominance, marking his 16th career PGA Tour win and a permanent lock to his Ryder Cup spot.

Now, with the U.S. Open just days away, the World No. 1 is preparing himself for one of the toughest tests in golf. Oakmont’s 7,372-yard, par-70 layout.
After the 3rd major at Oakmont ends, the World No. 1 has confirmed his play at the Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club.
Scheduled to take place from July 10-13, the Scottish Open will occur just before he heads to Royal Portrush for The Open Championship.
“It’s an event and a course I enjoy playing given we only get to play links golf a couple of times a year,” Scheffler said after tweaking his schedule.
He is not alone. Several elite players in the world rankings use the tournament as major prep.

Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Sepp Straka, Ludvig Åberg, Justin Rose, and Matthew Fitzpatrick will all be playing as well.
Not only this, but defending champion Robert MacIntyre will also return, looking to repeat his dramatic victory from last year, where he picked up four strokes in his final five holes to edge out former Masters champion Adam Scott.
MacIntyre’s 2024 win was a career-defining moment, as he rolled in a 22-foot birdie putt on the 18th to seal the victory.
“This was the one I wanted, and it was the one I got. I can’t believe it’s happened,” MacIntyre said after his emotional win.
Scottie Scheffler is currently the favorite golfer going forward to the US Open, and his strategic tweak to fine-tune his game is another great move toward major success.
