Scheffler’s quiet focus: How he handles chatter on the course
World No. 1 opens up on when he talks during rounds and why rhythm matters more than words.
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top golfer, just fired a 10-under 60 in the second round of the Travelers Championship and isn’t shy about his approach to talking—or not talking—with playing partners. Scheffler said he keeps most rounds quiet by default, but he’ll engage if his partner is clearly in a groove. His comments came after a round where he carded six birdies and no bogeys, tying the tournament low score and moving into contention at TPC River Highlands.
The 27-year-old’s measured approach reflects a broader strategy: conserve mental energy for shots, not small talk. He admitted that while he’s open to conversation, his priority is staying locked into his own rhythm, especially under the microscope of a major championship push. At the Travelers, Scheffler’s blend of intensity and adaptability has drawn attention.
