Scottie Scheffler is one of the best golfers on the planet and, who dates back to last year, has been in a historical career.
However, the success of winning golf tournaments is not what “satisfies it.”
Scheffler, 29, is three times important champion, since he has won the masters twice and the PGA championship this year. He will look at centimeters closer to the open Slam in the open air this week in Royal Portrush.
The 16 -time winner of the PGA Tour has been the world number 1 golfer for more than 100 weeks, however, his domain in the course is not what is “satisfactory” for him.

“There are many people who come to what they thought I was going to meet them in life, and you get there, you reach number 1 in the world, and they are like, what is the point?” Scheffler said at a press conference on Tuesday.
“I really think, because what is the point? Why do I want to win this tournament so badly? That is something that you throw daily. It's like appearing in the masters every year. It's like, 'Why do I want to win so much this golf tournament? Why do I want to win the championship open so bad?'
“I don't know why, if I win, it will be incredible for two minutes. Then we are going to get to the next week, 'You heard two elders this year; how important is to win the Fedexcup playoffs?' And we are back here again. “

Scheffler referred to his celebration after winning the CJ Byron Nelson Cup tournament in his native Texas state in May, when his time of celebration felt so fleeting.
“I said something after the Byron this year about taste, it seems that you work your whole life to celebrate a tournament for a few minutes. It only lasts a few minutes, that kind of euphoric sensation. To win the Byron Nelson championship at home, I literally worked my whole life to be good in golf to have an opportunity to win that tournament,” Scheffler said.
“You want it, you celebrate, hug my family, my sister is there, it's an incredible moment. So it's like, ok, what are we going to dinner now? ' Continuous life. “
While being incredibly successful as a golfer may not be what finally meets it, it gives it a “sense of achievement.”
“Is it great to be able to win tournaments and achieve the things I have in the golf game? Yes, it brings me tears to my eyes just to think, because I have literally worked my whole life to be good in this sport. Having that kind of sense of achievement, I think, it's a great feeling,” said Scheffler.

For Scheffler, he does not play to “inspire” the next generation of golfers, because, for him, being the number 1 in the world is not satisfactory.
“Getting to live your dreams is very special, but at the end of the day, I am not here to inspire the next generation of golfers. I am not here to inspire someone to be the best player in the world, because what is the point?
Scheffler said that the sport of golf is not “I know everything, everything ends” for him.
“(Golf) is not the most important thing in my life,” said Scheffler.
Scheffler and his wife, Meredith, share a 1 -year -old son, Bennett. For Scheffler, his family has priority.

“I am lucky to be able to come here and play golf. But if my golf began to affect my home life or if it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, you know, that will be the last day I play here to make a living,” Scheffler said.
“I would prefer to be a great father of what would be a great golfer.
“At the end of the day, (Golf) is not what satisfies me.”
