Smylie Kaufman predicts if Adam Scott will ever win another major before retiring from golf 

Smylie Kauffman tips Adam Scott to win another major before he retires

After Scott’s top five at the Cadillac Championship, Kauffman sang the praises of the “fine wine”, and said he thinks he’ll win another major before it’s all said and done. 

Speaking on The Smylie Show, he said, “This guy, we always say, ages like a fine wine. Nothing truer than with that gentleman, Adam Scott.

“Just continues to be able to compete at 45 years old, has all the pop in the bat, can get 190 comfortably on the range, which is just insane. I don’t think he’s done winning.

“I think he’s going to have a swan song. He’s going to win one more major championship. I think he’s totally capable of doing it. He’s already finished second at Riviera this year, or I should say I think it was third.

“I think he’s finished top three twice. But all to say is that yes, he got off to a poor start and played some tremendous golf the rest of the way.”

Adam Scott’s major championship record

It’s an optimistic prediction from Kauffman considering Scott’s major championship record since 2020. The Aussie has just one top 10 at majors in the last six years.

That came at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon, where Scott finished T10 at even par, eight strokes behind the winner, Xander Schauffele.

In that same time span, Scott has missed the cut six times, including last year’s Masters and Open Championship. His best finish last year was a T12 at the US Open at Oakmont.

That’s nothing for Scott to be ashamed of. It’s incredible that he’s still able to perform so consistently on the PGA Tour at 45. But as for Kauffman’s prediction, it seems far-fetched.
