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, grew to become 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 grew to become fairly laughable. Scheffler, as soon as once more at sure level, had a seven-shot lead and this entire 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 skill 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 in the meanwhile and the comparisons to Tiger Woods write themselves.
The FedExCup Playoffs and Ryder Cup stay on this season, however it’s exhausting to not say that we simply lived one other yr that was The 12 months of Scottie Scheffler. What is actually outstanding about that is that on this particular yr Rory McIlroy – the participant of his era – gained the profession grand slam himself by lastly securing a Masters Inexperienced Jacket. Golf actually delivered from a significant championship standpoint in 2025.
There isn’t any restrict to what we will dream or preach for Scheffler’s future inside this sport. He’s properly on file that he doesn’t outline his future to be anyplace apart from together with his religion and household, a perspective on life that’s definitely giving him the mandatory disposition to function the best way that he does event in and event out.
Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler, Champion Golfer of the 12 months.
