The pro golfer probably did not see it coming this time. This explains his surprise and gratitude when he was given the title of PGA Tour player of the year.

However, it wasn’t all so unexpected for the fans, in a way, considering the achievements Scheffler has unlocked in the past few months.

A month after securing his first win at the Phoenix Open, Scheffler became the World No. 1 in Golf.  Then he unlocked a new achievement when he won the Masters. Now, he is the PGA Tour Player of the Year. Scottie surely worked his way up for this one.

Scheffler and his loyalty to the PGA Tour

It is a well-known fact that the World no. 1 is a PGA Tour loyalist. Even after hefty offers from the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, Scheffler did not leave the Tour.

He also had a bold reaction when he was asked about his opinions about the players who defected to LIV Golf and filed a case to be a part of the League.

He said, “It’s one of those deals where those guys kind of made their decision to go join another tour and they broke the rules and regulations of our tour and now they’re trying to sue us, which is definitely a bit frustrating. I heard that was going to happen and I know some guys aren’t surprised to see it, but I definitely am surprised to see some guys now suing us.”

Scottie added, “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. I feel very blessed and fortunate to play golf and get paid for it, so for me, I’m not looking to go out and do anything else.”
