Scottie Scheffler was in a great mood on Sunday evening after winning the Tour Championship<\/a> and wrapping up the FedEx Cup. After securing his third victory<\/a> of the year and picking up a $10 million check in the process, he celebrated like most would, by enjoying a cold beer in the clubhouse before hitting the countless media stops on the property before leaving Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Scheffler also handed out a huge compliment to Golf Channel\u2019s Brandel Chamblee during his post-victory sit-down with the network. While it was a straightforward gesture, it showed a side of Scheffler we don\u2019t often see, which is a completely laid-back guy who was both ecstatic and relieved that he ended his 2026 campaign on top.<\/p>\n

To close out his post-round news conference in the media center, Scheffler was asked what sort of celebratory dinner he was going to get into. The World No. 1 explained that all he wanted was a cheeseburger, but he did let everyone know he enjoyed a nice cold beverage before sitting down to answer questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a beer for the first time in a long time. It just sounded good,\u201d Scheffler explained. \u201cRight when we got off the course, I got in there, these guys are trying to get me to do media and all this stuff. I was like: how much time do we really have? They\u2019re like we\u2019ve got a couple minutes. All right, let me go inside and get some air conditioning. There was an open bar inside, and I\u2019m like, all right, I\u2019m grabbing a beer. It tasted great.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really drink very often. My wife and my manager were like, wow, I haven\u2019t seen you have a beer in a long time. Well, season\u2019s over now. I\u2019m going to have a beer. Well-earned beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, most would say the beer Scheffler sank after his round was well-earned, given his three-win, five-runner-up campaign that saw him earn $31 million before bonuses are added.<\/p>\n

Scheffler then went on to join the Golf Channel\u2019s post-game show<\/a>, and before leaving the set, he tipped his cap to Chamblee and the plethora of research and notes he puts together week in and week out.<\/p>\n

Chamblee, like any great broadcaster, has his fair share of supporters and critics, but there is no denying that he is a walking encyclopedia of golf knowledge. Whether it be golf history or the modern game, there may not be another human out there who has a brain filled with more knowledge about the sport.<\/p>\n

Scheffler giving props to Chamblee, and grabbing a page of his notes to show viewers back home made for a cool moment, and, again, presented a side of Scheffler that we don\u2019t get to see too often.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing \u2018normal\u2019 about Scheffler on paper \u2013 this is a guy who has been the No. 1 ranked player in the world for 207 consecutive weeks \u2013 but at the end of the day, he\u2019s just someone who appreciates hard work and likes to hand out a compliment.<\/p>\n

At least with a beer in his system, that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottie Scheffler was in a great mood on Sunday evening after winning the Tour Championship and wrapping up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[208],"class_list":["post-59142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scottie-scheffler","tag-scottie-scheffler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
