Is Scottie Scheffler the new 'beard guy' after Dustin Johnson?

Scheffler might be planning to sport a new look for the Hero World Challenge. The ace golfer seems to have grown a beard and is being touted as the next 'beard guy'.

Performance coach Dr. Troy Van Biezen recently posted a short clip on social media where Scheffler can be seen working out. In the video, Scheffler can be seen with a full beard adorning his face.

While the post attracted mixed reactions from fans, fellow golfer Justin Thomas liked it.

Many fans couldn't help but draw similarities between Scheffler and Dustin Johnson, the golfer who defected to the controversial LIV golf series this year.

One fan wrote:

"Scottie Scheffler will officially succeed DJ (Dustin Johnson) as the Beard Guy."

The fans even called Scheffler the new "beard guy." However, certainly the beard makes Scheffler look more mature and serious.
