A breakthrough 2022 season saw Scottie Scheffler become one of the biggest names in golf, so the PGA Tour may be wise to listen when he offers advice.
The reigning Masters champion has taken umbrage with the format of the PGA's 'Elevated' (or 'Designated') Events, which have been likened to those in the much-derided LIV Golf League. The 17 tournaments offer inflated prize purses with reduced fields, but it's the no-cut element of those competitions that's ruffled Scheffler's feathers.
Speaking ahead of Thursday's opening round at the Players Championship, the 26-year-old underlined his issues with that aspect of the new-look contests. In fact, Scheffler went so far as to suggest he'd rather be booted from such events than be forced to play another round while off his game.
