When asked about his priorities in life, Scheffler noted (via ASAP Sports):

"I would say my greatest priorities are my faith and my family. Those come first for me. Golf is third in that order. I've said it for a long time, golf is not how I identify myself. I don't identify myself by winning tournaments, chasing trophies, being famous, or whatever it is."

"Like when I go home, if I go to -- there's two Chipotles that I eat at at home...I try to live as normal a life as possible because I feel like a normal guy. I have the same friends I had growing up. I don't think that I'm anything special just because some weeks I'm better at shooting a lower score than other guys are," he added.

Scheffler also noted that one of the Chipotle restaurants he usually goes to has been shut down. While he enjoys dining at the restaurant's outlet near Southern Methodist University, he cannot do so because of his fame. So, he goes to a location on the other side of town.
