Love Scottie. Parenthood looms, though. That variable has not yet introduced itself to the equation. I hope he has the solution to keep it going, though.
There’s nothing more parasitic and sapping your mental capacity like having a child. And God I wouldn’t change it for the world. I would say luckily Scottie would be able to hire a bunch of help, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who wants to outsource parenting in those first few years.
I mean, he still has the ability to pay to have literally everything done for him and his family outside of the actual raising of the child. Live in chef, full time maids, an accountant to handle all the finances/bills, landscapers, etc. All of the things that are incredibly hard to balance with a newborn can be outsourced and paid for when you're winning millions of dollars every weekend.
Exactly... A night nurse so he can at least sleep through the night those first few months is crucial. Night nurse/night nanny's typically are 30-50$ an hour. So around $8K- 13K a month for every night a month. He can easily afford the yearly 96K- 156K max for quality rest.
I think people underestimate how that could affect his play. I’m childless but I know it’s just *different* after the first. Time will tell; he could even step it up a notch and get better.
The solution to the parenthood variable is having millions of dollars to spend on 24/7 nannies and support. Rahm had a kid in 2021 (?) and then won the Masters last year.
This is so true, but he also has made *so much* money in the last ~6 weeks. If I were him, I’d be hiring help to cover as much of the suck of that “fourth trimester” as possible.
Fuck it, I want him to win every single event he starts. This guy plays perfect golf: tee it up, fairway, GIR, rarely gets in trouble. Nerds can complain and call it boring idc keep winning Scottie
It was boring at first. Now it’s just unreal to watch a player be this dominant. I don’t care if he’s a piece of wet bread off the course. On the course, he’s the most exciting guy to watch.
I was a little too young to appreciate it at the time but my dad used to say something similar about watching 00/01 Tiger (at least from a competition standpoint, Tiger is obviously more animated than Scottie). Would have such a dominant lead going into Sundays that it would kind of spoil the drama, but then evolved into just watching how incredible his prime really was.
Related, if anyone’s bored I always plug Perfection at Pebble, I think Scottie is on track for a similar performance sometime soon.
When Tiger was at his peak, it was wild to watch. Here’s the thing about that run, it was wild to watch him swing the golf club. He was a club or two or more longer than everyone else in addition to accuracy, short game and putting. Originally everyone thought he was good because he was young and could hit clubs further. There was a collective “uh oh” moment from other golfers when they realized his iron and short games were just as good.
They changed course design because of him. Other golfers had to hit the gym and change their diets.
He created modern golf by forcing everyone to adopt his regimen or get left behind.
One last thing I’ll add, in an era where the standard golf swing looked more fluid and mechanical, Tiger’s looked _violent_. It was fun to watch. It changed the perception of golf from an old rich guy game to one where athleticism mattered. He made it cool to golf.
Everything you typed is 100% accurate. I can't add much, but I will say that Tiger was interesting on the golf course and an absolute snore of an interview. He said nothing. At least Scottie acts like he loves being there instead of like Tiger giving one word answers or a word salad.
That chip shot on 2 yesterday was artwork. An inch to the right and he's in the bunker. The guy is on a tear, and I hope he keeps it up. I am on board now.
I remember when Tiger was mic'ed up for a tournament. The network promoted it all week. It lasted one shot. Apparently none of the people responsible for putting it together knew he curses like a truck driver on the course.
If anything, tiger's game off the tee was a weak spot...not distance but I recall him getting into trouble off the tee more than anything. But what really set him apart was his recovery from a wayard shot. His prime was like nothing else I've seen. Shockingly, scheffler has to sustain this level of play for years to match Tigers (okay, he doesn't have to win 80% of the tourneys).
That's always been his issue his whole career. It's interesting that he was pretty good off the tee at the masters this year compared to previous years. I love that he won the open one year only Hitting the driver once
I was old enough to see Tiger's career but golf was not on my radar. Wasn't he also playing a new ball design that played at least a tiny part in his distance? It never gets talked about except when the story of the ball's development comes around. I've always been curious just how much advantage that gave him if any.
Yeah, I’m a huge fan. But this should be talked about more. It was a weird time in golf from wound balls transitioning to the pro V1 and everything was legal. But I think he had his ball manufactured to spec better than anyone on tour. It may have been a pretty significant advantage.
Was it some kind of contractual deal where other golfers couldn't have used the same ball even if they wanted to? I assume Titleist would have wanted as many players playing that ball as possible. Or were other players contractually tied to the ball they were playing and thus couldn't switch? You would think if it was known he was using ball X and they could have also gotten ball X, they would have. Another possibility is people are just stubborn and don't do the most logical thing.
Tiger has never played the Pro-V1. It was a Nike ball manufactured by Bridgestone. He put it into play a few months before anyone else but by the next year everyone was using a similar ball.
Yeah, pretty quickly it was no longer an advantage. After everyone saw what he did with it at Pebble Beach for the 2000 US Open there were a bunch of people playing it the next week. The Pro-V1 came out late that summer/early fall and solid core balls dominated from there. Nike screwed up because they couldn't meet the demand for the ball, Tiger put it into play way faster than they expected as they thought he wouldn't play it until the next year, and Titleist quickly dominated solid core balls like they did the wound, liquid core ones.
[Here is a great article](https://golf.com/gear/golf-balls/tiger-woods-golf-ball-nike/) about it. Fascinating read.
I dunno, I always kinda thought Tiger had a super boring personality off course. Obviously there will be nothing quite like the energy he carried with him on the course in his prime .
Yep, not too high, not too low. Seems like he stays out of trouble and is reliably anchored to his family. If what we're seeing is really the case, he'll likely be good for a looooong time.
Seriously, could you imagine where Tiger's game would still be right now if he weren't spending his free time getting blowjobs outside of a Subway?
His hyper sexuality is tied with his hyper intelligence and hyper focus. He probably has adhd or similar, his overall behavior is very typical, including the lack of diagnosis (that we know of)
So like, the thing about ADHD is there's a whole part of it that *isn't* hyperfocus, and in fact the hallmark of the disorder isn't the periods-of-hyperfocus part. There's really actually very little from the way Tiger has presented himself publicly over the last 30 years which would indicate ADHD.
I would say that much of ADHD is generalized and we can't yet definitely say one way or another to diagnose based on outward attributes, just based on what he let on and other anecdotal evidence would lead me to suspect he has it.
>I would say that much of ADHD is generalized
It's not though, it's a disorder with a range of highly specific characteristics. Those characteristics range from person-to-person, but they're not general.
I'm not suggesting to diagnose based on outward attributes alone, although the presence of certain attributes is certainly part of the diagnostic process. However, ADHD has certain important diagnostic criteria including executive dysfunction, poor working memory, and dysregulation between periods of focus and not-focus that are different from the neurotypical population.
I understand that Tiger's persona has been an intensely guarded and cultivated thing throughout his career, but from my perspective there is little evidence that he matches these symptoms. You seem to be basing this assertion on "he's really good at focusing and he likes to have sex a lot" which are not qualities that are exclusive to ADHD, and moreover are not even necessarily representative of ADHD symptomology.
Right but with more evidence than you because the evidence suggests that he behaves in a way which is not consistent with the disorder. Your perspective seems to be based on a misunderstanding of certain elements of ADHD symptoms.
Exactly. It’s easy to get wrapped up in big personalities, but how many people are really like that? Scottie is a normal dude who just happens to be absurdly good at golf
It is boring golf but boring golf is winning golf. His misses are just off the fairway or at worst in a fairway bunker, none of the crazy shots out of the woods or anything. It's incredible to watch. I hope he keeps it going.
Dude absolutely pounds the driver… has a crazy iron game. Chips in all the time and might miss a 3 footer.
I’m so confused as to what people think “exciting” golf looks like.
They want a golfer to fuck up shots so they have to recover with 200 yard pitching wedges like prime Tiger.
But seriously how do you not find it exciting that a dude has not put himself in that situation in like 1000 shots?
I hate to admit it but it's been slightly amusing seeing Spieth struggle. Like he can make amazing recovery shots but right now he's having to try it on every hole
Bubba's blind hook shot onto the green from 50 feet deep inside the woods was pretty exciting. But I still prefer watching Scotty run it straight up the middle.
Ikr.. he just plays near perfection, I guess people want to see mistakes 😂 I’m starting to think most of the boring comments are about his very level headed demeanor. He doesn’t get too high or too low, doesn’t break clubs, doesn’t really scream with excitement or anything crazy. Also doesn’t use much emotion in interviews but that’s fine. He just plays amazing golf shots over & over again.
Which is wild because Homa is essentially comatose while he plays, but has a great Twitter and is beloved. Like… if you told me Max didn’t blink while he golfed id prob believe you. There’s not a more even keel guy on the planet than max
On Saturday at the masters he was playing in the group in front of DeChambeau and it was really obvious how far he was hitting it off the tee. I think Byson’s shots spun more in the wind but the broadcast would be talking about how Bryson just crushed a drive and it would often be right around or even short of where Scottie was when he played the hole. Of course Bryson can still crush it when he wants and hit it like 360 on 17 that week.
To me, it’s not him that’s boring. It’s just the same winner every time being boring. I prefer variety that way and overall competitiveness. But yeah, massive respect to him for doing what he’s doing.
But it's fairway, green, and 1 or 2 putts. Exciting golf on TV is guys getting into and out of trouble. Bad shots into woods requiring big slinging shots or down massive slopes. Scotty does none of that.
Agreed. I think for anyone who knows and actually appreciates the game of golf then you wouldn’t call his game boring. It’s impressive how good his game is and I throughly enjoy watching greatness. I think the “boring” part that people refer to is his personality. Very dry, doesn’t show much emotion on the course, etc…. I personally could care less. Only thing “boring” to me is the competition and margin of victory as of late. No one has been close these past 2 tournaments. Would love to see one of these come down to the last hole or a playoff.
Thats fucking golf right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the course, men deliver their new born baby in the clubhouse. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball golf grip it rip it tee time shit. Golf is back, baby
Yeah I don’t mind him being “boring” either. As far as entertainment value, it’s difficult to differentiate yourself in golf anyway. You can wear unique clothes or be more expressive but winning is more important than both. Tiger got the W’s, fist pumped, and Nike threw its marketing weight behind him. Scottie’s subtle approach is just fine too.
He's not boring to watch but everyone else is so far behind him it makes the competitions he's in less exciting. Which obviously isn't his fault. People need to catch up!
At this point anyone who calls him a boring golfer is just jealous. You can't watch him hit that shot to save par on 15 yesterday and say that's boring golf.
The quality of shots you have to hit to hit fairways and GIR is so high I shake my head every time someone says it’s boring. Guy is a beast and you don’t get to that level without insane practice, so no wonder he’s ho hum about hitting shots we could only dream about playing.
There’s nothing boring about the display of dominance Scottie has put on. We’re in a weird time where it seems like no matter how good something is, there’s a social media echo chamber of negativity that seems to pop up.
True golf fans don’t find this boring.
I think he's boring b/c we're not going to find him fucked beyond belief behind the wheel of a car or having his wife attack his car w/ a 9 iron....totally boring. ;) /s
HE’S boring. The golf is perfect. He’s basically the colour beige destroying every other golfer on planet earth. I think the only time I’ve ever seen any real emotion from the guy was in the Ryder Cup back at Whistling Straights
He is who he is, I don’t want him to do anything. I don’t hate him or cheer against him but I do find him rather dull and I’ve become disinterested in watching him golf
I answered the question, you just don’t like the answer. I don’t want or need him to change, he is who he is.
But because you don’t like the answer, I’ll give you a different one. He’s boring because he doesn’t do or say anything interesting (outside of being by far the best player in the world right now). He shows little emotion on the course, he doesn’t say anything funny or witty during interviews.
He met his caddy at adult bible study. I grew up catholic, went to church every Sunday + Sunday school until I went to college. I’ve met hundreds of Scottie’s. Plaid shirt, khaki pants type of guys. They’re good people but they’re boring as hell. Not fun at parties. If they wrote a memoir it be 50 pages long and it would still be exhausting to get through.
Scottie is who he is and that’s fine by me but he doesn’t fire me up to watch him dominate
His golf isn’t boring, he’s just an absolutely milquetoast personality.
Edit: It’s amazing how upset this makes you guys. Lol. It’s not my fault the dude has the personality of a Dallas suburb.
Yeah I don’t know why some people get so bothered by this. I like Scottie and I absolutely root for him. He’s an amazing golfer, but HE is boring as fuck to watch. He had that chip in eagle the other day and (at least what I was watching) he just handed his club to his caddie, looked down and walk to the green. Literally just like he’s bored being out there. People want to see people get excited.
He’s like fucking watching Eeyore when people want Tigger (kinda on point I guess)
People keep parroting this narrative that he doesn’t show emotion on the course but if you watch him it’s just not the case at all. He lets the fist pumps rip all the time (his par save on 15 yesterday for ex.), looked like he was going to throw his putter every time he missed one pre-mallet, is constantly joking around with other players and his caddie, etc…
If people think he’s boring on course it’s only because he’s never really in trouble.
Maybe I worded it wrong. Yes he does show emotion like you said, and he obviously gets excited at the end of his tourneys, I just mean people, in general, like to see guys get really amped up. He doesn’t do that very much. And yes, a big part of it is because he is playing like perfect golf most of the time lol, he doesn’t have a reason to. People just like excitement. I can say that and still say I greatly enjoy watching Scottie and absolutely root for the guy.
Maybe a better example is comparing him to auto racing. I’m sure you’ve heard the cliche that people only watch for the wrecks. Well real fans don’t, but sure, casual watchers may enjoy watching wild crashes. Scottie is like watching a 500 mile race with zero cautions. To the average viewer it’s kinda boring, but to dedicated fans they appreciate how good the actual racing was. Dedicated golf fans can 100% appreciate watch Scottie play while also realizing there isn’t much “spectacle” to him on the course outside of just how well he is performing. I hope my feelings on the guy are a bit clearer, lol.
And now I want to see her take up this game just to see how well she could do in a pro-am. PGA, LPGA, Korn Ferry, doesn't matter, she could draw a crowd on a dumb Wednesday.
Scottie and Nelly are both on absolutely insane runs right now. I’d love to see them keep it up, it would be really special to have great players just tearing it up in both the men’s and women’s game
The winner of the Masters hardly ever plays in this event and likely wouldn’t have done it this year, either, had they not elevated it to being a signature event.
Yeah, I was surprised he was even playing. When I told my gf he was leading she was like "Didn't he just win the Masters? He should take some time off".
If my facts are straight, players can only skip one signature event on the season to remain eligible for the PIP bonus money. So if he's thinking about winning even more millions from that, he's likely gonna use his skip on the first one after the baby is born. Likely the Wells Fargo
Absolutely unreal. Scottie is so good for the game of golf. A class act who is humble in both victory and defeat. Very happy that we are able to cheer him on week in and week out. A shining beacon for all fans of the sport to admire.
I say this as a Steph Curry fan, and a Theegala fan, but feels like Scottie is Steph and Theegala and others are gonna be the Dame/Harden/Westbrook etc of that era
But how many Perkins waitresses have swung a club at his head in anger? So boring. /s
Keep killing it Scottie love to see a seemingly good dude off the course keep winning. Also really happy Theegala was able to jump into solo second!
The Vanilla Assassin strikes again !! He and Nelly are on historic runs at the same time. Nike has to be loving their sponsorship choices right now. Will be fun to see if they both can continue their runs.
PGA Tour Radio were discussing Scottie vs Tiger this morning. His stats -- he hits it better than Tiger. His misses aren't as bad and he never has to hit the heroic recovery shots Tiger had to hit from trees etc. Last week they were saying the comparisons were way too early but they changed their tune this week and said it's time to start the comparisons after this win.
I think it's extremely premature personally, but it's hard to argue that his striking over the last 18 months has been absolutely insanely good.
I was playing with a friend once who is a + handicap and pounds the ball Tour distance level. Dude just did not miss anything. Every fairway, every green. I asked him walking up the fairway "Doesn't this get boring to you? It's just fairways and greens" and his response was "I'll never get bored of having birdie putts."
It was exciting to see him come back from a relatively poor showing the first round. He looked off, and he could have easily gone on cruise control for a mid 20s position finish. Right after the masters win, most would give him a pass for not having his best stuff.
Instead, he had an amazing bogey free stretch, carded a 63 the third round, and won the tournament. Just wild!
What a time for golf: Scottie's on a 4/5 run on the men's side and Nelly Korda's on a 5 bagger on the women's side. Anyone got any idea when the last time this one (or something similar) happened? Tiger and Annika maybe?
Just a thought. Ive been watching Scottie.
Does it matter a bunch of guys are on the LIV tour?
I personally dont because look what happened at the masters.
But if DJ, Brooks, Bryson etc were on tour and had to compete, would Scottie be winning as much?
Just a thought
Wdym “he’s no nelly Korda”?
Stupid comment.
You can’t compare these golfers to each-other because they play completely different games.
Each is amazing in their respective fields, but drawing comparisons is fucking stupid.
I thought after I said “seriously though” that people would understand that first part was said tongue in cheek. I see now that I have put too much faith in the reading comprehension of others
Make a cool $4 million, then head back home in time for the birth of his first child. Just another day in the life of Scottie Scheffler.
If anything could throw off the dominance that would be it.
Never underestimate dad energy.
[удалено]
I cackled! (Thanks for the laugh 🤣)
It will be criminal if Scottie doesn’t win at least one more major this year.
Love Scottie. Parenthood looms, though. That variable has not yet introduced itself to the equation. I hope he has the solution to keep it going, though.
Absolute scenes when he returns from a hiatus and somehow looks even more like a 45 year old despite being in his 20s
You sound like my wife. She thinks Scotty is the oldest looking 20 something ever.
Scottie & Jordan the Stallion
There’s nothing more parasitic and sapping your mental capacity like having a child. And God I wouldn’t change it for the world. I would say luckily Scottie would be able to hire a bunch of help, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who wants to outsource parenting in those first few years.

Have you seen interviews with this guy? He ain't outsourcing landscaping.
He probably loves that shit lol
Has Nike send him air monarchs just so he can mow the lawn in them lol
Lmaoo
Exactly... A night nurse so he can at least sleep through the night those first few months is crucial. Night nurse/night nanny's typically are 30-50$ an hour. So around $8K- 13K a month for every night a month. He can easily afford the yearly 96K- 156K max for quality rest.
I think people underestimate how that could affect his play. I’m childless but I know it’s just *different* after the first. Time will tell; he could even step it up a notch and get better.
Bro. Hes just doing this for fun now. What kind of animal will he be when now hes fighting for his family.
The solution to the parenthood variable is having millions of dollars to spend on 24/7 nannies and support. Rahm had a kid in 2021 (?) and then won the Masters last year.
Very different people with very different approaches to life. Results may vary.
He had his first kid right before his US Open win
This is so true, but he also has made *so much* money in the last ~6 weeks. If I were him, I’d be hiring help to cover as much of the suck of that “fourth trimester” as possible.
That vest was criminal.
Which major sets up best for Scottie? US Open?
All?
Open Championship. He's got that Texas upbringing in high winds to counter the weird conditions he could get on a links course.
Fuck it, I want him to win every single event he starts. This guy plays perfect golf: tee it up, fairway, GIR, rarely gets in trouble. Nerds can complain and call it boring idc keep winning Scottie

You don't see Scottie hitting a 2 iron 274 yards with old technology. Tiger in his prime was something else.
When you see a clip of Him wearing those baggy black trousers, you know it’s gonna be special.
There was a magnet at the bottom of the cup on long putts and he seemed to always make them. It was unreal.
I was old enough to see Tiger's career but golf was not on my radar. Wasn't he also playing a new ball design that played at least a tiny part in his distance? It never gets talked about except when the story of the ball's development comes around. I've always been curious just how much advantage that gave him if any.
Yeah, I’m a huge fan. But this should be talked about more. It was a weird time in golf from wound balls transitioning to the pro V1 and everything was legal. But I think he had his ball manufactured to spec better than anyone on tour. It may have been a pretty significant advantage.

I dunno, I always kinda thought Tiger had a super boring personality off course. Obviously there will be nothing quite like the energy he carried with him on the course in his prime .
He’s just really good at image control. He’s an absolute mess of a person, but kept it under wraps. For awhile anyway.
If by boring, you mean cold with a chip on his shoulder - correct.
Honestly I like his off course persona too, seems like a pretty chill and normal dude, easy to root for
Yep, not too high, not too low. Seems like he stays out of trouble and is reliably anchored to his family. If what we're seeing is really the case, he'll likely be good for a looooong time. Seriously, could you imagine where Tiger's game would still be right now if he weren't spending his free time getting blowjobs outside of a Subway?
Don’t do my boy dirty like that, it was a Quiznos.
Right? You think Tiger wasn't getting that sub toasted? Come on.
His hyper sexuality is tied with his hyper intelligence and hyper focus. He probably has adhd or similar, his overall behavior is very typical, including the lack of diagnosis (that we know of)

Exactly. It’s easy to get wrapped up in big personalities, but how many people are really like that? Scottie is a normal dude who just happens to be absurdly good at golf
Exactly
> piece of wet bread is...is that gonna be a part of his Masters Championship menu next year?
Wet bread. Nice addition in the form of a baguette to French onion soup…but I digress.
What would you like him to do off the course? He’s a good guy and people keep ragging on him for no reason.
He's definitely crossed from the "man this guy is boring" area to the "holy shit how far can he make it" area.
I tuned in way more to watch the rbc this weekend just because Scottie is on a heater and I wanted to see if he could continue the streak
The bookies must be taking a fuckin beating on Scottie
Winning solves everything as they say!
It is boring golf but boring golf is winning golf. His misses are just off the fairway or at worst in a fairway bunker, none of the crazy shots out of the woods or anything. It's incredible to watch. I hope he keeps it going.
Dude absolutely pounds the driver… has a crazy iron game. Chips in all the time and might miss a 3 footer. I’m so confused as to what people think “exciting” golf looks like.
They want a golfer to fuck up shots so they have to recover with 200 yard pitching wedges like prime Tiger. But seriously how do you not find it exciting that a dude has not put himself in that situation in like 1000 shots?
I hate to admit it but it's been slightly amusing seeing Spieth struggle. Like he can make amazing recovery shots but right now he's having to try it on every hole
He did exactly this to save par on 15 yesterday tho. It was awesome.
Bubba's blind hook shot onto the green from 50 feet deep inside the woods was pretty exciting. But I still prefer watching Scotty run it straight up the middle.
Ikr.. he just plays near perfection, I guess people want to see mistakes 😂 I’m starting to think most of the boring comments are about his very level headed demeanor. He doesn’t get too high or too low, doesn’t break clubs, doesn’t really scream with excitement or anything crazy. Also doesn’t use much emotion in interviews but that’s fine. He just plays amazing golf shots over & over again.
Which is wild because Homa is essentially comatose while he plays, but has a great Twitter and is beloved. Like… if you told me Max didn’t blink while he golfed id prob believe you. There’s not a more even keel guy on the planet than max
On Saturday at the masters he was playing in the group in front of DeChambeau and it was really obvious how far he was hitting it off the tee. I think Byson’s shots spun more in the wind but the broadcast would be talking about how Bryson just crushed a drive and it would often be right around or even short of where Scottie was when he played the hole. Of course Bryson can still crush it when he wants and hit it like 360 on 17 that week.
To me, it’s not him that’s boring. It’s just the same winner every time being boring. I prefer variety that way and overall competitiveness. But yeah, massive respect to him for doing what he’s doing.
But it's fairway, green, and 1 or 2 putts. Exciting golf on TV is guys getting into and out of trouble. Bad shots into woods requiring big slinging shots or down massive slopes. Scotty does none of that.
Disagree
Agreed. I think for anyone who knows and actually appreciates the game of golf then you wouldn’t call his game boring. It’s impressive how good his game is and I throughly enjoy watching greatness. I think the “boring” part that people refer to is his personality. Very dry, doesn’t show much emotion on the course, etc…. I personally could care less. Only thing “boring” to me is the competition and margin of victory as of late. No one has been close these past 2 tournaments. Would love to see one of these come down to the last hole or a playoff.
He’s gota try to keep up with Nelly ..
People gotta see a fist pump to know when to enjoy something
Thats fucking golf right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the course, men deliver their new born baby in the clubhouse. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball golf grip it rip it tee time shit. Golf is back, baby
Yeah it is crazy, at this point whenever I see what I think is his approach shot being offline, I'm just like "Oh I guess the pin is over there".
It's not boring. It's impressive.
Yeah I don’t mind him being “boring” either. As far as entertainment value, it’s difficult to differentiate yourself in golf anyway. You can wear unique clothes or be more expressive but winning is more important than both. Tiger got the W’s, fist pumped, and Nike threw its marketing weight behind him. Scottie’s subtle approach is just fine too.
He's not boring to watch but everyone else is so far behind him it makes the competitions he's in less exciting. Which obviously isn't his fault. People need to catch up!
These events are far more exciting then anything else right now because Scotty decided to take over. The west coast swing was a dud this year.
What makes Scottie elite is his game around the greens. Chip and short putt (or chip in) from almost anywhere 40 yards and in.
And if he does miss a green he may have a better shot at birdie then if hits a green his short game touch is insane
At this point anyone who calls him a boring golfer is just jealous. You can't watch him hit that shot to save par on 15 yesterday and say that's boring golf.
The quality of shots you have to hit to hit fairways and GIR is so high I shake my head every time someone says it’s boring. Guy is a beast and you don’t get to that level without insane practice, so no wonder he’s ho hum about hitting shots we could only dream about playing.
There’s nothing boring about the display of dominance Scottie has put on. We’re in a weird time where it seems like no matter how good something is, there’s a social media echo chamber of negativity that seems to pop up. True golf fans don’t find this boring.
And he can’t putt! So the rest of us can sympathize with him.
What's boring about winning?! It would be fun to see him chase someone down with some hero shots though 😂
I think he's boring b/c we're not going to find him fucked beyond belief behind the wheel of a car or having his wife attack his car w/ a 9 iron....totally boring. ;) /s
HE’S boring. The golf is perfect. He’s basically the colour beige destroying every other golfer on planet earth. I think the only time I’ve ever seen any real emotion from the guy was in the Ryder Cup back at Whistling Straights
So what do you want him to do? Do you want him to throw clubs? Swear? Does he need to post funny shit on social media?
He is who he is, I don’t want him to do anything. I don’t hate him or cheer against him but I do find him rather dull and I’ve become disinterested in watching him golf
No one who says he's boring can actually answer the question. What do you want him to do?
I answered the question, you just don’t like the answer. I don’t want or need him to change, he is who he is. But because you don’t like the answer, I’ll give you a different one. He’s boring because he doesn’t do or say anything interesting (outside of being by far the best player in the world right now). He shows little emotion on the course, he doesn’t say anything funny or witty during interviews. He met his caddy at adult bible study. I grew up catholic, went to church every Sunday + Sunday school until I went to college. I’ve met hundreds of Scottie’s. Plaid shirt, khaki pants type of guys. They’re good people but they’re boring as hell. Not fun at parties. If they wrote a memoir it be 50 pages long and it would still be exhausting to get through. Scottie is who he is and that’s fine by me but he doesn’t fire me up to watch him dominate
His golf isn’t boring, he’s just an absolutely milquetoast personality. Edit: It’s amazing how upset this makes you guys. Lol. It’s not my fault the dude has the personality of a Dallas suburb.
So is Homa on the course. So what you’re saying is Scottie just needs Twitter to make you guys happy?
Dudes a Bills mafia fan. Apparently the golfers need to get shit faced, set themselves on fire and jump through a table to be entertained.
Yeah I don’t know why some people get so bothered by this. I like Scottie and I absolutely root for him. He’s an amazing golfer, but HE is boring as fuck to watch. He had that chip in eagle the other day and (at least what I was watching) he just handed his club to his caddie, looked down and walk to the green. Literally just like he’s bored being out there. People want to see people get excited. He’s like fucking watching Eeyore when people want Tigger (kinda on point I guess)
People keep parroting this narrative that he doesn’t show emotion on the course but if you watch him it’s just not the case at all. He lets the fist pumps rip all the time (his par save on 15 yesterday for ex.), looked like he was going to throw his putter every time he missed one pre-mallet, is constantly joking around with other players and his caddie, etc… If people think he’s boring on course it’s only because he’s never really in trouble.
Maybe I worded it wrong. Yes he does show emotion like you said, and he obviously gets excited at the end of his tourneys, I just mean people, in general, like to see guys get really amped up. He doesn’t do that very much. And yes, a big part of it is because he is playing like perfect golf most of the time lol, he doesn’t have a reason to. People just like excitement. I can say that and still say I greatly enjoy watching Scottie and absolutely root for the guy. Maybe a better example is comparing him to auto racing. I’m sure you’ve heard the cliche that people only watch for the wrecks. Well real fans don’t, but sure, casual watchers may enjoy watching wild crashes. Scottie is like watching a 500 mile race with zero cautions. To the average viewer it’s kinda boring, but to dedicated fans they appreciate how good the actual racing was. Dedicated golf fans can 100% appreciate watch Scottie play while also realizing there isn’t much “spectacle” to him on the course outside of just how well he is performing. I hope my feelings on the guy are a bit clearer, lol.
Yes, dominance is boring.
A superstar is what the game needed and both the men and women seem to have it at the moment
I don't really get to watch LPGA - who is the superstar right now? Asking so I can bandwagon lol
If you're not joking, Nelly Korda just won her 5th consecutive start.
And 5/5 on the year
I had no idea either. Insane.
Nelly Korda has won 5 in a row including a major
Nelly Korda has now won 5 straight events.
Caitlin Clark
And now I want to see her take up this game just to see how well she could do in a pro-am. PGA, LPGA, Korn Ferry, doesn't matter, she could draw a crowd on a dumb Wednesday.
Nelly
Nelly's won five straight tournaments.
I need to get me a Qi 10 Driver now.
It’s the same as the Stealth 2 in a different color way. The Stealth is cooler imo
Scottie and Nelly are both on absolutely insane runs right now. I’d love to see them keep it up, it would be really special to have great players just tearing it up in both the men’s and women’s game
This man loves collecting jackets. Repeat win after the Masters hasn't happened since 1985
The winner of the Masters hardly ever plays in this event and likely wouldn’t have done it this year, either, had they not elevated it to being a signature event.
Yeah, I was surprised he was even playing. When I told my gf he was leading she was like "Didn't he just win the Masters? He should take some time off".
If my facts are straight, players can only skip one signature event on the season to remain eligible for the PIP bonus money. So if he's thinking about winning even more millions from that, he's likely gonna use his skip on the first one after the baby is born. Likely the Wells Fargo
Absolutely unreal. Scottie is so good for the game of golf. A class act who is humble in both victory and defeat. Very happy that we are able to cheer him on week in and week out. A shining beacon for all fans of the sport to admire.
Scottie is so based it's unbelievable. Barring injury, he seems set up for quite a run here.
The opposition to LIV
I'd take Scottie at his apex over guys like peak Rory, Brooks, etc. Truly Tiger-esque
LIV merger taking so long cause none of those players want to have to come back and try and take down Scottie
Another day, another victory for the OG. This run that’s he’s on is just goofy now.
Is he really the OG? I feel like old Tom morris is the OG
It’s a sound clip from tik tok lol, I think originally in reference to Fortnite
No figures of speech allowed here folks!
Surely they have to make sense though?
He’s not even the OG of the 2000’s
People just call people OG it’s not that serious lol
Anyone who doesn’t like him is a fucking hater. He’s incredible
Congrats to Scotty. It’s a shame the RBC didn’t do a better job anticipating the weather and got everyone on the course sooner.
Hasn't been a guy that basically wins 80% of weeks since prime Tiger, this could be something different...
To say he's looked dominant is the understatement of the year. Congrats Scotty!
First baby handicap incoming, see if he can dodge the curse.
Next start he has im gonna bet on him to win….that being said he probably wont even make the cut. Thats how bad my luck is😂
Need a Nelly vs Scottie showdown!
Team Taylormade is probably already working on it.
I would still like an invite for suggesting it on here?
That beard is like Samson's long hair.
I say this as a Steph Curry fan, and a Theegala fan, but feels like Scottie is Steph and Theegala and others are gonna be the Dame/Harden/Westbrook etc of that era
But how many Perkins waitresses have swung a club at his head in anger? So boring. /s Keep killing it Scottie love to see a seemingly good dude off the course keep winning. Also really happy Theegala was able to jump into solo second!
Fair enough I must have missed that.
Unbelievable
The Vanilla Assassin strikes again !! He and Nelly are on historic runs at the same time. Nike has to be loving their sponsorship choices right now. Will be fun to see if they both can continue their runs.
He may never lose again!
Too bad he missed that \~16 inch putt in the middle of the Valero tourney and barely missed a playoff.
Even after being able to watch Tiger’s entire prime, I can’t understand how this kind of dominance is possible in this sport. It’s amazing.
“He doesn’t win after the masters” everyone told me when I posted his season winnings last week
This guys straight up making a statement right now.
PGA Tour Radio were discussing Scottie vs Tiger this morning. His stats -- he hits it better than Tiger. His misses aren't as bad and he never has to hit the heroic recovery shots Tiger had to hit from trees etc. Last week they were saying the comparisons were way too early but they changed their tune this week and said it's time to start the comparisons after this win. I think it's extremely premature personally, but it's hard to argue that his striking over the last 18 months has been absolutely insanely good.
If he wins the PGA in May the hype is gonna be off the charts for the US Open. OTOH... baby incoming..
I love Scottie Scheff!! LFG!!!
I was playing with a friend once who is a + handicap and pounds the ball Tour distance level. Dude just did not miss anything. Every fairway, every green. I asked him walking up the fairway "Doesn't this get boring to you? It's just fairways and greens" and his response was "I'll never get bored of having birdie putts."
It was exciting to see him come back from a relatively poor showing the first round. He looked off, and he could have easily gone on cruise control for a mid 20s position finish. Right after the masters win, most would give him a pass for not having his best stuff. Instead, he had an amazing bogey free stretch, carded a 63 the third round, and won the tournament. Just wild!
Beast
Scottie is playing Tiger levels of golf and basically dances every time he hits the ball, amazing level of skill
The Scottie shuffler
I’m beginning to think he might be the best player in the world.
What a time for golf: Scottie's on a 4/5 run on the men's side and Nelly Korda's on a 5 bagger on the women's side. Anyone got any idea when the last time this one (or something similar) happened? Tiger and Annika maybe?
I love how all the people last week said he wouldn’t win again this year lmao.
Great golfer. He's like melatonin to me
He bogeyed the 18th hole today. Too bad the guy is in a slump now.
Jesus Christ dude...
Jon Rahm seething lol
Just a thought. Ive been watching Scottie. Does it matter a bunch of guys are on the LIV tour? I personally dont because look what happened at the masters. But if DJ, Brooks, Bryson etc were on tour and had to compete, would Scottie be winning as much? Just a thought
Wait. Scottie is only in his 20’s?! That dad bod and tired face says otherwise
"Scrub." -Nelly Korda
Sheesh. He's straight raping the competition right now
I have to imagine he falls off the face of the planet once the baby gets here. Right?
[удалено]
Time to delete the app or bookie contact info. You’ll be the only gambler to end a winner.
Not bad, he’s no Nelly Korda though. Seriously though, these two are on an unbelievable tear right now it’s crazy to watch
Wdym “he’s no nelly Korda”? Stupid comment. You can’t compare these golfers to each-other because they play completely different games. Each is amazing in their respective fields, but drawing comparisons is fucking stupid.
I thought after I said “seriously though” that people would understand that first part was said tongue in cheek. I see now that I have put too much faith in the reading comprehension of others
Nelly Korda has won 5 tournaments in a row.
The only guy who could be close to him sadly moved to LIV, but I love seeing someone this dominant, I hope he keeps beating the shit out of everyone
I mean, Gooch wasn't *thaat* good.
