Scheffler’s Views on Competition and Division

Scheffler expressed his frustration over the limited competition, emphasizing his preference for playing against everyone and more frequently:

“I miss the competition, that’s for sure. I like competition. I would have liked some of them to stay, but in the end, they made their choice. They knew the consequences of their decision and I am not here to make them change their minds. I have no grudge against those who left.

“One of the Great Joys” of My Career

Scheffler also highlighted his competitive spirit and enjoyment of playing against top players, emphasizing the rivalry with fellow golfers. He specifically mentioned Jon Rahm with whom he hopes to play more:

“One of the great joys of my career is to face Jon. He is an extraordinary player, a great talent… He is a player against whom it is very pleasant to measure yourself. Play against him I miss him. I would like us to do it more often, but I will certainly take advantage of all the occasions that I will have to measure myself in the future. ”

LIV Players and the State of Golf

Scheffler directed his remarks towards the LIV Golf players, noting the lack of efforts towards unity.

“If we want to know why the game isn’t reunited, ask them the question. If you want the truth, they are the ones who can tell you. Come where they play this week and ask them when the game will recover. Ask Players of the Pga why golf is not reunited. That’s right.

Looking Ahead

Scheffler reinforced his neutrality while calling for a return to high-level competition. His comments echo a sentiment shared by many golf enthusiasts who crave a reunified golf landscape.
