Scottie Scheffler shared feeling mentally tired after competing in back-to-back tournaments

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler admitted to feeling mentally fatigued after playing in consecutive events on the PGA Tour. He had a delayed start to his 2025 season after injuring his palm during a Christmas mishap while preparing dinner. His first appearance came at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the fifth PGA Tour event of the year.

It took him nine starts to claim his first win of the season, which came at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Despite the late start, Scheffler played back-to-back tournaments, which took a toll on his mental energy.

After the third round of the Charles Schwab Challenge on May 24, Scheffler said:

"I would say mentally I definitely am a bit tired. I'm definitely taking a lighter schedule this week than I normally would at a tournament, but overall my game, it feels like it's in a good spot. I felt like I was able to get some good rest to start this week."

He added. "I'm just out here battling. I had a good day today. The first two days definitely could have been a bit better, but we'll see how things shake out during the course of the afternoon and see what I can do tomorrow."

Scottie Scheffler has recorded two back-to-back wins this season—first at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson, then at the PGA Championship. He also has eight top-10 finishes so far.
