When asked how he would celebrate his latest PGA Tour victory, Scottie Scheffler responded in a manner that was quintessentially characteristic of him.
Scottie Scheffler extended his impressive streak on the PGA Tour by completing a rain-delayed final round to clinch the RBC Heritage by a margin of three strokes on Monday.
He then disclosed his understated plans for celebrating the victory, which were typical of his methodical approach.
Scheffler’s recent triumph marked his fourth victory in his last five starts, including securing his second major championship at the Masters. This brings his career total to 10 PGA Tour titles.
Despite not planning to compete until next month’s PGA Championship, the 27-year-old was not inclined to indulge in lavish celebrations. Here’s a glimpse from his post-round interview, according to GolfDigest:
- Question: How are you going to celebrate this one?
- Answer: I’m going to get a breakfast burrito, some coffee, and I’m going to go home.
Alright then. It’s hard to fault him for that.
Scheffler mentioned that after his Masters victory, he spent a couple of days celebrating at home, which included a visit to a local dive bar in Dallas, before traveling to Hilton Head on Wednesday. Arguably, it was this modest celebration that might have impacted his first round, possibly preventing him from winning by an even larger margin.
Previous experiences, like a shared low-key birthday celebration with Tom Kim last year, show that Scheffler isn’t known for extravagant partying.
However, with his wife, Meredith, expecting their first child any day, rest is a priority for him now—as highlighted in a humorous tweet by Outkick’s Mark Harris.
So, Scottie, enjoy that breakfast burrito and some well-deserved downtime. And yes, perhaps start getting used to the idea of needing coffee.
