Scottie Scheffler Won’t Be Slowing Down Yet

With Tommy Fleetwood taking home the trophy from the Tour Championship, the PGA regular season has concluded.  Next up is the fall series, but more importantly, the Ryder Cup.  With this, players are either training for the Ryder Cup or resting before the FedEx Fall series.  With that the question of who will be going on break has started coming up.  One such player is Scottie Scheffler, who has been going hard for a long while.  He doesn’t see a prolonged break as necessary.

Scottie Scheffler On His Schedule

In short, Scheffler doesn’t have plans of taking it easy after the end of the FedEx Cup.  When asked if he had plans to take some time off, Scheffler responded:

“I’ll stay in my normal routine for the regular season. I’ll go home, I’ll take a couple days off, and then I’ll get back to practicing, get ready for Napa, and then I’ll have another two weeks off, pretty similar routine to get ready for the Ryder Cup.“

It is assumed that Scheffler would be spending a good portion of those two weeks off training for the Ryder Cup.  This also means that Scheffler will be going hard until the year wraps up, not taking a break until the holiday season.   As to whether or not he would slow down during a match, that is a resounding no, even if he won’t win.

Scheffler Doesn’t Want To Take It Easy

After the final round of the Tour Championship, Scheffler was asked if he ever thought of slowing down.  Specifically, if it was clear that he wouldn’t be winning.  He responded by saying that he would rather be in an interview for the win instead of being asked why he made certain decisions during a tournament.  Specifically decision that wouldn’t have gotten him any closer to the win.

“It’s a lot harder coming in here and answering questions. Why did you hit it out of bounds on 1? Why did you hit it in the water on 15? I’d rather you say, ‘Hey, you just won again.’ How does that feel? I think that’s a lot more fun than coming in fourth or fifth place.”

At the end of the interview, he explained how he likes to take things day by day.  He has a list of improvements he can already make for himself to better his chances for the future.  Scheffler is already making some plans to make those improvements after the Ryder Cup ends, and he can be ready for the next season.  The pressure was on Scheffler during the second round of the Tour Championship, so a break is not an unusual suggestion.

Training Hard

Scottie Scheffler is a very hard-working player.  His hard work has more than paid off for him as he is in the No. 1 position in the OWGR.  After every match, he has confirmed that he is looking for ways to improve.  Scheffler is on his way to the Ryder Cup at the end of September.  The US team is finalized, and Scheffler was a clear choice.  He works hard for the sport, but hopefully, he remembers to take some time for himself in between all his hard work.
