Scottie Scheffler and Billy Horschel recently had a fun banter where the latter took a dig at the World No. 1 golfer for being ridiculously good. Scheffler also took the comments lightly and had a hilarious response to Billy.
Scheffler is a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, including two majors. Horschel has won eight times on the Tour, and both players are in action this week at the WM Phoenix Open 2025.
On Wednesday, February 5, SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio shared a clip from an with Scottie Scheffler. During the interview, Billy Horschel stopped by and asked one question to the Masters champion.
"Why are you so good?" he asked. "And why you gotta be so like, can't you like not win so many events and like be so much nicer?"

The hosts stopped him, pointing out that he finished ninth last week, but Horschel insisted that it was still an impressive finish.
"He's taking money away from people," he added. "I mean, didn't he make enough last year? 70 million on the golf course, I mean, won nine times, I mean, God, guy's a selfish, selfish ba****d. I mean, everyone thinks he's a nice guy, but I guarantee you, behind closed doors, he must not be that nice."
Scottie Scheffler had a cheeky response to Horschel's complaint-turned-compliment.
"I was very surprised when Billy saw a microphone. I feel like he had to say something. That was very unlike Billy."
Scheffler had an outstanding 2024 season, winning seven official titles on the PGA Tour, claiming the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, and also winning the Hero World Challenge. In addition, he was part of the US Presidents Cup team that posted an 18.5-11.5 win over the International team.
