The Sizzling Snooze of Golf Star Scottie Scheffler

He might not have the flashiest game or personality. But the defending Masters champ has kept on winning—and is a favorite in Augusta.

He is golf’s Mr. Decaf. Doesn’t run too hot or too cold. Won’t set the world on fire with an incendiary quote. Still drives his old car from college. Looks like he’s wearing khakis, even when he’s not wearing khakis. About as controversial as an apple.

He’s Scottie Scheffler, your defending Masters champion, the No. 1 player in the world, the favorite to repeat this year at Augusta—and the golfer most likely to lull the sport’s most hallowed weekend into quiet, respectful submission once again.
