Nobody had better than Scottie Scheffler in the 2024 season. Just a few hours ago, the world no. 1 won the 2024 TOUR Championship and the $25 million prize purse at East Lake Golf Club after previous disappointments, and he carded his seventh victory of the year. Notably, no other golfer since 2007, Tiger Woods, has won so many times on the PGA Tour. As his list of achievements grows long, Scheffler also makes sure to attribute his success to the right people.

After winning the TOUR Championship, the 28-year-old addressed the microphones and lovingly expressed gratitude toward his wife, Meredith Scheffler, and his family. He started by talking about Meredith, saying, “I’ll start with Meredith. She’s always been my biggest supporter.” Scheffler recalled how they began in high school and how, since then, his wife has been with him every step of the way. He also expressed how things felt almost surreal because of how perfect and wonderful they seemed at times.

Scheffler then talked about becoming a father, saying it was special to see his wife become a mother, and he was looking forward to seeing Bennett Scheffler grow up and expand their family. Additionally, he thanked his parents and sister, joking that they had been to way too many golf tournaments, but he was grateful for their presence and support.

The world No. 1 concluded his speech by sharing that he would be spending more time with his family in the off-season and celebrating his victories with them. After Scheffler’s emotional confessions, the golf world admired his classy demeanor and praised the 13-time PGA Tour winner even more.

The golf world showers love on Scottie Scheffler after the ‘class act’

Scottie Scheffler never misses a chance to praise the people in his life, not just his family. The 28-year-old gave credit where it was due and talked about how Ted Scott, his caddie, has been a huge influence on his success and how their conversations between rounds have worked wonders for him. This quality of Scheffler was appreciated by one fan who said, “Class act Scottie! Always acknowledging those in your life. You are an amazing golfer but an even better person.” But the fans didn’t just praise Scheffler. As the world No. 1 praised his wife’s efforts, the viewers did too. One commented, “Meredith is so amazing! Behind every good golfer is an amazing woman! Yay Scottie.”

Winning seven times on the PGA Tour, including one major, and earning an Olympic gold medal on top of that, is nothing short of impressive. It proves why Scheffler has stayed in his own lane and has been the world’s No. 1 for 67 consecutive weeks. One fan praised him as “Best in the world! Terrific human!” from one fan.

On the other hand, another user highlighted how Scheffler’s priority isn’t golf. After winning the Masters for the second time, Scheffler shared how golf took a backseat in his life after becoming a father, ranking fourth on his priority list. Yet, he won more than anyone on the PGA Tour in the past 17 years, leading this user to say, “Golf really isn’t that important to him. Should be a lesson to all!”

While there were many highs in Scheffler’s 2024 season, there were lows too. The most recent was at the BMW Championship last week when he finished T33. The most shocking moment was at the PGA Championship in Valhalla when Scheffler was arrested over a misunderstanding, making headlines in the golf world. Reflecting on his rollercoaster ride in the 2024 season, one fan appreciated the pro and said, “Way more grounded than the shuffle would suggest. Hat tip to @scottie.scheffler – dealt with some incredible highs and also come craziness and came out on top. What a guy!”

The next time the golf world might see Scheffler is at the Hero World Challenge for his title defense, where the chances are he might win again!
