Scottie Scheffler is taking an off week before the U.S. Open, which begins next week. He lifted his third trophy in 30 days, including the Wanamaker, on Sunday and will want to maintain that winning momentum to add another major cup to his cabinet.

But during this off week, the World No. 1 has also decided to join the roster of next month's Genesis Scottish Open.

The official account posted on X, "The best player in the world returns to the Renaissance Club! Scottie Scheffler joins an already star-studded field at this year’s #GenesisScottishOpen!⛳️"

He will be joining a list that includes big names like Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas.

This week has been big for Scheffler's career. He was also selected to lead Team USA this time around in the Ryder Cup. Captain of the team, Keegan Bradley, was very happy to hear the news.

At the U.S. Open, Scheffler will face Bryson DeChambeau, who came very close to winning during the final round of the PGA Championship. DeChambeau is the defending champion and has expressed his eagerness to win it back‑to‑back.

"I'm always chasing history. Everybody is. We're all trying to accomplish feats that haven't been done in a long time. And going back to back would be great. Three in a row would be an even better accomplishment. So it is in the back of my head." He said.

On Friday, DeChambeau will tee off at the LIV Golf Virginia, hoping to secure one last win before the major.
