Surely it was him saying exactly what that Nike ad says. You can be the most competitive person in the world and still understand that winning golf tournaments isn’t as important as being loved, and loving, or having faith."Her tweet continued,"I actually think it’s unbelievably inspiring (and mind blowing) that he can do what so many extraordinary athletes can’t - be selfish enough to achieve generational greatness, but selfless enough to be what he needs to be to his family."During the Open Championship press conference, Scottie Scheffler explained that being No. 1 and winning a tournament are only second to him.
