Brian Harman echoed Collin Morikawa's words when discussing Scottie Scheffler's incredible 2024 PGA Tour season. Harman last played at the 2024 BMW Championship, where he finished in 25th place.
He settled in 31st position in the FedEx Cup standings, missing the Tour Championship. However, the American golfer was selected as a captain's pick for the upcoming Presidents Cup.
Ahead of the team event, the 2023 Open Championship winner appeared on an episode of the Talk of the Tour podcast, where he talked about the upcoming Presidents Cup and Scheffler's phenomenal season.
In the podcast, when asked about Scheffler, Harman agreed with what Morikawa had told him regarding the World No.1. Harman said:
"Well, I think Collin said it perfectly the other day. Mentally, I don't think there's anyone that's on his level, and there isn't anyone that probably works harder than Scottie does. He works hard in the gym, he works hard on his putting, and he works hard on the short game. The short game doesn't get near the credit that it deserves," he said (at 9:00).
"That was the most impressive display of a short game that I'd seen a long time at the PGA. So when you couple that with a guy that hits it really good, he's got a really good short game. His putters come a long way in the last couple of years, and he loves to do it and he's really content doing it all the time. He's the best player in the world, and all that stuff adds up to him being that way for a long time," he added.
Notably, Brian Harman, Scottie Scheffler, and Collin Morikawa will all be competing for Team USA at the 2024 Presidents Cup.
