Scottie Scheffler and his minimalism
As a matter of fact, Scheffler stands out from the rest. His drive and dedication do not base themselves on monetary or material well beings. They go beyond the spectrum of the socially-defined meanings of success. As is well known, Scheffler has worked his way through the PGA season 2022 and has earned a hefty amount of $18 million.
Even after, earning such a huge amount through his possible sheer perfection in the sport. Scheffler still drives around in a Chevy Suburban from his college years. This demonstrates how grounded he is even after having all the resources in the world, he still chooses to drive the same old car his dad gifted him during his years at the University of Texas.
Some time back, Golf Digest jokingly suggested that “It might be time for a car upgrade: Scheffler still drives the same car he had in college, a Chevy Suburban with more than 175,000 miles on it. Scheffler’s father handed his old car to Scottie while he was in college. We’d guess he might splurge on a new ride, given all the cash he’s made this season.”
Ultimately, car or no car, Scheffler’s timeless mastery of golf and his lasting loyalty to the PGA Tour might as well be a ray of hope for the PGA Tour Championship.

Scottie Scheffler’s take on LIV Golf
When asked about his opinions about the Saudi-backed LIV league and the “easy” money associated with the same, Scottie emerged as a knight in shining armor for the PGA Tour and has been vocal in suggesting, “For me, I feel like the PGA Tour is the best place to play… my dream was to play on the PGA Tour. My dream was never to maximize my financial benefits.”
In recent times, the clash between the PGA Tour and the LIV championship has gotten tenser. The latter has been using its material resources to incentivize talented players from the world of golf to play for them. Despite the fact that they have been successful in doing it to some extent. The PGA Tour continues to hold the loyalty of some of the world’s best players like Scottie Scheffler.
