Scottie Scheffler's latest major, a thorough four-stroke win at the Open Championship, is another reminder that he's mastered golf like few have.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was a fountain of introspection Tuesday at his news conference entering the 2025 British Open, calling golf "an unsatisfying venture" and admitting that he often wrestles with motivation.
