Scottie Scheffler

He’s not the only player from the Lone Star State, which is experiencing a “sustained golden age” for golf.

Dallas' Scottie Scheffler has polished off the best year in golf in nearly two decades with the biggest prize. He had a few nervous moments at the Tour Championship until running off three straight birdies around the turn at East Lake making Scheffler the FedEx Cup champion with its $25 million bonus.

Shrugging off a protest that interrupted the tournament on the 72nd hole, Dallas' Scottie Scheffler won the Travelers Championship on the first hole of sudden death on Sunday. It's his sixth win of the year, the most in one season on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods in 2009.

Dallas' Scottie Scheffler is a winner again, and he never had to grind so hard. Scheffler held off Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin at the Memorial with his highest Sunday score in nearly two years.

Criminal charges against Scottie Scheffler have been dismissed, ending a legal saga that began with images of the world’s top male golfer being arrested and handcuffed in Louisville during the PGA Championship.
