Scottie Scheffler and Presidents Cup selection

Many fans feel Scheffler was outstanding this year. He won four times and earned the Masters championship – his first major title. He needed a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup. So he ensured he wouldn’t have to sweat for making place on the Presidents Cup USA Team. Adding up his FedEx cup points, he made it to the team with 12,670 points.

Davis Love III, the captain of the USA Team, had words of praise for Scottie. He said that Scottie is an outstanding player and has gained enough experience and improved his skills over the years.

Fans may agree to this, as in 2022, they saw Scottie’s true potential when he claimed the title of No. 1 player worldwide. He’s earned the respect of his fellow teammates. Everyone hoped this President Cup was just the beginning of many more tour events.
