Despite a stellar 2024 season with seven victories, Scottie Scheffler is yet to win in the 2025 PGA Tour season. The World No.1 will compete this week at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2025 at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
Scheffler has had five top-10 finishes in eight starts this year. In a pre-tournament press conference, he was asked what small, golf-related changes he believed could help him return to the winner’s circle multiple times. Scheffler pointed at his ball-striking as an area needing improvement.
"I think my ball striking hasn't been as sharp as it was last year and the year before that. So kind of continue to work on my swing and get back to the basics of what I do well and continue to work on those good habits. I think that will get me where I need to go," he said.
