It only takes a cursory glance at any statistics website to realize Scottie Scheffler’s ball-striking prowess (and more importantly consistency) is a step ahead of anyone in the game and it has been this way for the better part of three years now. Players such as Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, and Bryson DeChambeau are clearly incredibly impressive, but the stats don’t lie, Scheffler is a level above all of them from tee to green.
Scheffler possesses a somewhat idiosyncratic golf swing and footwork that always draws attention on broadcasts and social media, but coupled with his obvious exceptional talent, I believe that the diligence with which he approaches the fundamentals of setup has a huge influence on the remarkable consistency of his otherwise unorthodox method, and he has said as much himself.
