Scottie Scheffler Continues to Dominate the PGA Tour

Scottie Scheffler won The Memorial Tournament yesterday in Columbus, Ohio, by four strokes over Ben Griffin as a repeat of last year. It was Scheffler’s third win in his last four starts, and Griffin had won The Colonial last week in Fort Worth, Texas. The Memorial is played at Muirfield Village Golf Club. It is called Jack’s Place because Jack Nicklaus—the guy with the most major wins in golf, with eighteen—designed it, and Columbus was his boyhood home.

Jack and his wife Barbara are gracious hosts of this tournament every year as witnessed by his being a commentator throughout much of its television coverage. For instance, when Scottie walked off the 18th green yesterday with the win, Jack was there to congratulate him and say, “Well, you did it again.”

Nicklaus had explained yesterday about Scheffler’s stellar play these last three years, which has elevated him to be #1 golfer in world rankings. Jack compared his winning style to that of Scottie’s by saying, “Once I got myself into position to win, then you’ve got to be smart about how you finish it. And that’s the way he’s playing. He reminds me so much of the way I like to play.”

Scottie Scheffler Is a Member of the PGA Tour Bible Study

Scottie Scheffler likes to tell the world that golf is not his main thing in life, that he has greater priorities, which are his religious faith and family. On the internet, the AI Overview of Scottie Scheffler says of him: “Scottie Scheffler is a devout Christian and he frequently speaks about his faith. He believes in a creator and in Jesus, and he often says that his faith is what defines him the most. He attends Bible studies with his caddie and co-hosts an annual ministry retreat with his friend and fellow golfer, Sam Burns. He also credits his faith with helping him navigate his busy golf career and stay grounded in the midst of success.”

New Book Coming on the Origin of the PGA Tour Bible Study

That “annual ministry retreat” is conducted for college golfers near where I live, in North Scottsdale, Arizona, and it is called College Golf Fellowship. This para-church organization greatly impacted Scottie Scheffler’s life while he was attending the University of Texas in Austin, and he likes to tell the public about it. Incidentally, my two daughters are graduates of UT. Hook ‘Em Horns!

College Golf Fellowship was birthed somewhat in 1983 at one of my golf schools that I conducted during the 1980s. I will be telling about it in my upcoming book about the origins of this Christian movement on the PGA Tour, which continues to flourish. The title of the book is Christ on the PGA Tour (1965-1982).

Those “Bible studies” are the PGA Tour Bible Study that began on August 3, 1965, in a suburb of Philadelphia while we Tour pros were playing a Tour tournament at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club. Thus, this August 3, in two months, will be the 60th anniversary of that group on Tour. I plan for my book to be published on that day. In the book, I quote an anonymous PGA Tour pro who did not attend these weekly meetings. Golf Digest quoted him saying while having a drink at a bar in 2012, “Sometimes it feels like the darn Bible-study tour out here.”
