The World No. 1 is a man of faith which often reflects through his charitable causes. The Dallas resident was again seen at an event where he was promoting the inauguration of a new community center. While doing so, it seems Scheffler also made a new friend, Drew Holcomb.

The musician was playing at a concert for the nonprofit organization, Behind Every Door, which is supported by the American golfer. After the concert, Scheffler and Holcomb made a hilarious bet whose details remain undisclosed.

Nonetheless, Scheffler won $40 bucks out of his friend and added it to his career earnings as he shared on his Instagram. Despite amassing $42,565,229 in 2023, the 6-time PGA Tour winner found a way to strengthen his friendship through friendly banter and asked Holcomb for a dinner treat after winning the $40 bet.

The Dallas native has always expressed the importance of faith in his life and also believes it to be the driving force behind his success. And the 2022 Masters win’s post-conference speech was proof of Scheffler’s devotion.
