​It wasn’t the most memorable finish to a Masters, but for Scottie Scheffler, his four-putt on the 72nd hole at the 2022 event was still good enough for him to earn a green jacket. Now, two years later, he’s set to return to Augusta National as the odds-on favourite. It’s not hard to see why.

It wasn’t the most memorable finish to a Masters, but for Scottie Scheffler, his four-putt on the 72nd hole at the 2022 event was still good enough for him to earn a green jacket.

A look at his statistics shows him leading the PGA Tour in 28 different categories, ranging from scoring average, which sits at a stunning 67.39, to official money. In three months, he’s amassed $11,493,235, which is more than Tom Watson earned in his career. “It's frustrating to not have the best of myself, just because I know that I can putt really well,” said Scheffler in the middle of his slump. “It's not like I've been a bad putter my whole career. I've just gone through a stretch where it's been tough.”

Now, after a at home, he’s set on trying to earn a second green jacket. His odds of winning have shrunk to +430, a sign that a lot of folks figure he can do just that. The 27-year-old from Ridgewood, N.J., has played in the Masters four times. He finished tied for 19th and 18th in his first two visits and followed his 2022 win with a tie for 10th last year. Ten of his last 11 rounds at Augusta National have been under par.

“At the end of the day, I think it all goes back to the support system at home,” he stated. I really do have a great support system. I'm very thankful for it. I have a great wife, and if I started taking my trophies and putting them all over the house and walking in all big-time, I think she would smack me on the side of the head and tell me to get over myself pretty quick. Winning golf tournaments doesn't give me any brownie points at home, so I just try and do my best.
