"He doesn't have a weakness": Golf legend Lee Trevino praises Scottie Scheffler after historical season

The 2024 season has been nothing short of spectacular for Scottie Scheffler. This year, the American golfer has won eight events on the PGA Tour. Apart from this, the World No. 1 golfer also won an Olympic gold medal and the Presidents Cup with Team USA.

Recently, 6-time Major Champion winner Lee Trevino had words of praise for Scheffler. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the official handle of SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio uploaded a video in which Trevino can be heard praising Scheffler during a conversation with Michael Breed.

Lee Trevino said:

"I mean here he[Scottie Scheffler] is at the top of the world. What did he win? 62 million dollars last year. He ruled the PGA Tour, and then, all of a sudden, he is changing his putting group. But you know what... he is very intelligent when it comes to trying stuff. I watch him practice and hit balls at Preston Trails when he comes out, and I say hello. He's never seen a stranger. This guy is the total package. He doesn't have a weakness." [0:00 onwards]

Scottie Scheffler has indeed dominated the PGA Tour in 2024. Last Sunday, Scheffler registered a win at the Hero World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods. To win this event held at the Albany Golf Course, Scheffler beat 19 other world-class players.

The victory at the Hero World Challenge also meant that Scheffler has now earned $62 million in total from his earnings in the 2024 season. This naturally is a staggering amount, but it isn't surprising given the number and quality of events he has won this year.
