What's left to say about Scottie Scheffler? The man is inevitable.
The world's No. 1 golfer opened his 2026 season at The American Express and did what he always does—he won. By four shots. At 27-under par. Making it look easy.
Scheffler finished at 261 after a final-round 66, capturing his 20th PGA Tour title, according to the PGA Tour. Twenty wins. All in the last four years. That puts him alongside Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players with 20 PGA Tour titles and four majors before turning 30.
Read that again. Jack. Tiger. Scottie. That's the company he's keeping.
"There's always a certain amount of rust when it comes to playing competitive golf," Scheffler said after the round. But rust? Where? The guy overcame a two-shot deficit early in the final round, then built a six-shot lead by the time anyone realized what was happening.
He birdied four of six holes on the front nine. Just dismantling the field like it was a Sunday practice round. Nine of his 20 career wins have been by four shots or more. That's not winning—that's dominance.
What's remarkable is how Scheffler makes greatness look boring. There's no drama. No collapse. No late-round heroics needed. He just shows up, hits fairways, drains putts, and walks away with the trophy. It's surgical.
The scary part? He's just getting started. At 29 years old, Scheffler is entering his prime, and if this week is any indication, 2026 is going to be another year where everyone else is playing for second place.
That's what greatness looks like, folks.
