Scottie Scheffler has started the new season producing numbers that match his best stretches from recent years, reinforcing his reputation as the most complete player in professional golf.

Curt Byrum highlights Scottie Scheffler’s pressure-proof putting
On SiriusXM’s PGA Tour show, Curt Byrum said Scottie Scheffler’s improvement on the greens is more impressive because it has come while he remains under constant contention pressure.
Curt Byrum explained that Scheffler’s putting gains have arrived while regularly competing to win tournaments.
“Now that he’s a great putter, he’s doing it under the pressure of trying to win more often than anybody out there on tour,” the Golf Channel expert said.
“It’s not like he’s 80th on the FedEx Cup points list, and he’s a great putter. He’s under pressure because he’s in contention to win almost every week, and he’s putting better.”
Curt Byrum added that the consistency of Scottie Scheffler’s performances makes it difficult to identify meaningful areas for improvement.
Scottie Scheffler praised as elite across every part of his game
Curt Byrum also pointed to Scottie Scheffler’s control from the tee and sustained iron play as central to his dominance.
Curt Byrum explained that Scheffler prioritises placement and decision-making rather than chasing maximum distance.
“You look at the way he drove the ball last year, he was number two in strokes gained off the tee,” Byrum said.
“He’s not worried about hitting it as far as he can. He’s more of a control guy. He wants to find fairways.”
Curt Byrum concluded by underlining Scottie Scheffler’s iron play as the foundation of his success, stating that he cannot identify any aspect of Scheffler’s game that is not performing at an elite level.
