\u201cAnd then I remember whenever all the LIV stuff was going on, you know, he was number one in the world at the time, I didn\u2019t know, but I said, \u2018they\u2019re probably going to offer you like $250 million to go over there\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he said, \u2018I don\u2019t care what they offer me. They can offer me a billion dollars. I\u2019m going to play where the best players are because I just want to beat people\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018wow, this guy\u2019s just different\u2019, you know. So, the $10 million (Tour Championship prize) doesn\u2019t matter to that guy, and you know, if we were in the pool playing volleyball, he would want to beat you just as bad as he wants to beat you at the FedEx Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, that\u2019s the essence of who Scottie is and that\u2019s what he loves. So I think partially part of his superpower is that the money doesn\u2019t distract him.\u201c<\/p>\n
What Scottie Scheffler said about his competitive edge<\/p>\n
Scheffler\u2019s hunger and drive to win, and beat whichever player he is up against, clearly gives him an edge on his opponents.<\/p>\n
And the world number one believes that his fierce competitiveness is one of the things that makes him a great player.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I was a young kid, I feel like one thing I struggled with growing up was just being so into the competition, and I felt like I just had to perform, and I was so highly competitive,\u201c Scheffler said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t feel like I had the maturity that I do now, and so, I mean, my temper, when I was young, was pretty extraordinary.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it is something I\u2019m always trying to rein in, but that\u2019s part of, I think, what makes me a great player, is having that fire, having that competitive edge.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, my parents were always trying to get me to do things the right way, and that was really important for me, because from a young age, I took myself much too seriously.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cAnd then I remember whenever all the LIV stuff was going on, you know, he was number one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[208],"class_list":["post-59881","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\/59881","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=59881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
