Scottie Scheffler will be one of the main favorites to win the Masters. As a man who dominated the PGA Tour last year, winning the Masters, there are huge expectations from him this year. However, can the 28-year-old handle such pressure?
Scheffler spoke to the media about the preparations for this tournament, saying that it was not easy to come back from injury.
I feel very prepared, Scheffler said, as quoted by Fox Sports.
This year, coming off an injury, was definitely a different feeling than Ive had in the last few years.
But as far as preparedness goes, this is definitely as prepared as Ive felt going into any event this year and Im excited to get the tournament going.

The 28-year-old golfer was part of the Champions Dinner, putting an accent on ravioli while joking that he might consider telling former Masters winners to make their own ravioli. Of course, it was the ravioli that caused his injury that kept the world number 1 out of several tournaments this year.
If I was trying to take out the competition, I would definitely do a demonstration, something along those lines, but yeah, hopefully avoid the injuries, Scheffler said.
Maybe theyll cut up my steak for me, I wont have to use a knife or anything like that. Well see.
Pollen
The 28-year-old has worried fans, saying he's battling a stuffy nose due to abundant pollen. Scheffler admitted that as he got out of the car this morning, he felt his eyes start watering. He points out that it's a bit worse than normal years.

However, Scottie stresses that there's no reason to worry, ready to give his all, believing that the sniffles won't stop him.
It is noticeable that every year golfers feel more and more pressure. There are many reasons for this, but this kind of hunger and desire for success will be the main driver not only for Scheffler, but also for his colleagues, who aim to wear the green jacket this year.
