Scottie Scheffler wins the Masters
The newly-crowned Masters champion Scottie Scheffler said he’s “trying to glorify God” through his golf career. The current World Number 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking gave all the credit to the Lord as he spoke with reporters about his stunning victory at Augusta National.
“That all goes back to my faith,” Scheffler said on being asked how he balances his desire to golf competitively without letting it define him as a person, as quoted by CBN News. “The reason why I play golf is: I’m trying to glorify God and all that He’s done in my life.”

The 25-year-old champion golfer, who went home with $2.7 million in prize money, didn’t didn’t stop there. He went on to say his “identity isn’t a golf score” and shared how his wife, Meredith, recently offered an encouraging reminder of that reality.
“Still going to love you even if you never win another golf tournament again”
The 25-year-old Scheffler also revealed the heartfelt conversation he had with his wife ahead of the day’s play. He also said his wife regularly prays for him to experience peace — something he always looks to have on the golf course.
“Like Meredith told me this morning, she says, ‘If you win this golf tournament today if you lose this golf tournament by 10 shots if you never win another golf tournament again,’ she goes, ‘I’m still going to love you, you’re still going to be the same person, Jesus loves you, and nothing changes,’” Scheffler said. “And all I’m trying to do is glorify God, and that’s why I’m here, and that’s why I’m in this position.”
He added: “Every day when we go out there, Meredith always prays for peace, because that’s what I want to feel on the golf course, is peace and have fun and just feel His presence. So that’s her prayer every day. That’s my prayer, and I really felt that today. I felt at peace.”
