Overall, both McIlroy and Scheffler are ready to embrace the tougher conditions at TPC Sawgrass and are looking forward to the challenge as they head into the weekend at The Players Championship. It will be interesting to see how they navigate the winds and if they can make a move up the leaderboard in pursuit of the title.
But there’s been a few little chinks in the armor at the start of this year. He hasn’t hit the ground running, and suddenly he’s got Rory McIlroy breathing down his neck. Rory’s found his form, Xander Schauffele is in the mix as well.
So, suddenly, Scottie Scheffler is looking over his shoulder, and he’s got some real challenges ahead of him. It’s a wide-open tournament, and it’s going to be fascinating to see who comes out on top.
