Scottie Scheffler kicked off his season with a strong performance, securing a three-shot victory at the 2023 Hero World Challenge.

He expressed his excitement about returning to the Bahamas for the event, viewing it as a fun and competitive way to prepare for the upcoming season.

Competing against a 20-man field, Scheffler faced a challenge that included only three of the top 10 players in the world.

During the off-season, Scheffler focused on refining his swing and enhancing his performance without making drastic changes to his game.

He indicated that he will not make any equipment changes for the 2024 season, emphasizing the importance of gradual improvement.

Last year, Scheffler significantly improved his putting, rising from 162nd to 77th in Strokes Gained: Putting by working with coach Phil Kenyon and using a new putter.

In 2023, he achieved remarkable success, winning seven times on the PGA Tour, including his second Masters title and the gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

NBC Sports commentator John Wood highlighted Scheffler's impressive consistency and ball-striking ability, suggesting he could have another dominant year in 2025.

Scheffler stated that his love for competition and the game itself drives him more than financial gain.

During a pro-am round, he humorously discussed the need for larger purses with Tiger Woods, reinforcing that money has never been his main motivation for playing golf.
