‘I’m Pretty Beat’: Scottie Scheffler Tormented by Health Concerns as 2024 Masters Looms

The busy schedule has gotten to Scottie Scheffler, it seems! Well, the golfer had managed to dish out yet another amazing display of golf at the recently ended Texas Children’s Houston Open and finished T2 as a result. However, it appears the long week has turned villain for the pro who is also gearing up for the upcoming major, the 2024 Masters Tournament.

The 27-year-old attended an interview after the final round at the PGA Tour event that took place at the Memorial Park Golf Course. Meanwhile, he was inquired about his plans for the first major of 2024, to which he provided the community with a reply that threw some concern about his health.

Scottie Scheffler’s plan for the Masters

When asked about when he would depart for Augusta during the interview, the American pro revealed that he would head there on April 7, the coming Sunday. “I’ll head in Sunday like I normally do,” stated the pro before divulging his plans following the same, “play a practice round Sunday, gradually get into the week, get prepared.” 

However, that’s not all. Adding on, the 8-time PGA Tour Pro also made sure to disclose how he is not doing very well in the health department. Moreover, divulging his plans a bit more, he said, “Definitely get some rest, I’m pretty beat now from another long week,” while alluding to the recently ended event in Texas.

Interestingly, at the Texas Children’s Houston Open that took place at the Memorial Park Golf Course, the current world No. 1 finished T2 tied with four other professionals, including Tony Finau, Taylor Moore, Thomas Detry, and Alejandro Tosti. Meanwhile, Scheffler finished the final day with a 2-under 68 owing to the four birdies he carded on Sunday, all the while allowing him to rake in total figures of 11-under 269.

Anyhow, such a response from the 27-year-old is not too surprising, all thanks to the recent performance he had showcased on the Jay Monahan-led circuit. The golfer had emerged victorious in a total of two events in the current season, and that too in the previous month of March.
