| Goddamn. With the start Scotty had and the way he did it again today was pretty amazing to me. I haven't enjoyed watching a player this much since Tiger's glory days. |

Same. Hes just so damn consistent. Cold blooded. Seems to never get rattled. Its different from Tiger. People were so intimidated by Tiger it was like he had already won the tournament before it started. With Scotty it's almost like... if he is in the lead after the second round you better start doing something special because he is going to cruise on to victory if you don't. Definitely a joy to watch. |

| Scottie is something. Other players choke, lose focus, etc. He just goes out there and plays. |

For PEDs. For Blood doping. Amphetamine. Marijuana. AIDS. Covid. Measles. Shit, I want to see if magnets stick to him. He’s a robot I tell ya!” |
Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!
Watch him play Grant Horvat. Can I Beat Scottie Scheffler if I Start 5 Under Par? Horvat's a little twerp but Scottie's digs on him as they played were funny as hell. I'd get along Scottie. Shame to see Rahm fall apart and my man Max.......going 73-64-76-77 Attached File |

Players who missed the cut but turned in a 36-hole score received $4,000 each. I wonder how much the top players earned from sponsors? |

I find it hilarious that Scotty is a Taylormade guy but games a Titleist And where is the golden boy Rory? Sure makes a guy pause, winning the Masters with an illegal driver, 50th place with a legal club. I am sure Chamblee will be all over that  |

I am sure Chamblee will be all over that Scottie's driver got popped this weekend too, he talked about it at the press conference. His wedges? He also has a Srixon in the bag. https://www.golfwrx.com/759898/scottie-scheffler-witb-2025-may-pga-championship/ |

A lot of them do. Being one brand from driver to ball is fairly rare. Even with his win, he makes a fraction of other pro athletes. Brock Purdy just inked a deal with the 49ers for more than that every month for the next 5 years guaranteed and he’s only the 7th best QB. Don’t get me wrong I’d trade places with Scotty today for that $$ but a lot of expenses come out of that check. Heck his caddy gets 10% off the top, taxes are another ~50%. Then the agent, the assistant, coach, travel on and on. I would guess endorsements pay him more than he makes on the course in a year. |
