The competition on the golf scene is fierce, and it seems that year after year we witness that golf is really progressing, with new faces of the golf scene having amazing qualities.
Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele have dominated the golf scene for the past year.
Before the start of this year's Masters, experts give Scheffler and McIlroy the best chance to win, but the question is whether they will succeed in this.
Scheffler spoke about McIlroy at the press conference, aware of the danger the Northern Irishman will pose to his opponents. The 28-year-old pointed out what he would take from McIlroy's game.
The world number 1 believes that golfers like Rory present a great chance to learn something new, saying that Rory is a golfer who has always played really freely.
Yeah, Im just trying to hit it 350 down the middle, Scheffler said while laughing, as quoted by The Golfing Gazzette.
I think when you look at a lot of the players out here on Tour, I think theres a lot we can learn from each other. Like Rory, I feel like has always been someone whos played really freely. All the times Ive played with him, he swings it really hard off the tee, and I feel like he does a really good job of playing free and playing loose at times.
I think theres a lot that I can learn from a lot of the guys out here. That was one of the things that impressed me the most and inspired me a bit when I first came out is I felt like there was so much I could learn by watching people do things."
Scottie Scheffler talks about statistics
Scottie emphasizes that despite the existing statistics that say, for example, that he is the best iron player or that Rory is the best driver, he feels that in golf there is always an opportunity to learn certain things from someone, even if you are superior to him in some aspect of the game.
It will be interesting to see how superior both of them can be at this year's Masters. Scheffler has won twice at this tournament, while Rory is looking to win the only Major he is missing in the CW.
