Scottie Scheffler should be the PGA Tour Player of the Year, according to Rory McIlroy…. let’s see report 👇👇
For Rory McIlroy, a three-time PGA Tour Player of the Year, it shouldn’t be much of a debate. He’d rather have Scheffler’s year than Schauffele’s.
“Scottie’s,” McIlroy emphatically stated. “I think winning the Masters, an Olympic gold medal, winning, whatever it is, six times, it’s pretty hard to top that.”
“I’ve described Scottie as relentless, and this is just another example of that. He’s had an incredible couple of years. It was sort of like once he won that first one, it’s just like the flood gates have opened and he’s found a next gear and a next level,” McIlroy continued when asked about Scheffler’s gold medal performance in Paris.
It’s tough to argue with McIlroy’s logic, although Viktor Hovland said earlier in the week he’d take Schauffele’s season over Scheffler’s.
While we will continue to hold major championship victories above any other victories, it’s borderline impossible to imagine the PGA Tour not giving this year’s POY award to the man who has won far more than anyone else on Tour this season who also added a gold medal and a second green jacket to his wardrobe.
