Did one single round with Tiger Woods help turn Scottie Scheffler into the best player on earth? Scottie says that seeing Tiger’s focus and intensity while out of contention completely changed how he played golf. Tiger treated every shot like it was to win a major. That’s why he...

I mean, I’m fully focused on a golf shot maybe 1 out of 33 shots. So being focused every shot seems impossible.

Crazy to think that Scottie’s round with Tiger was the November 2020 Masters but his first win wasn’t until February 2022

Took a year of practice to get to Tiger focus level

Watch Nicklaus. He doesn't just focus on the shot, everything other than the shot ceases to exist.

He's just saying that Tiger is a try hard.

Smart move. This is a great idea and can be used in life as well.

Treating every shot like it matters is such a powerful lesson.

Rory McIlroy said it, but no one is paying attention, especially those from major golf organizations and the PGA Tour board At the Valero Texas Open pre-tournament Wednesday interview Rory McIlroy said: “It will be really interesting to see how the major championship numbers fare compared to the other bigger events because there’s an argument to be made if the numbers are better and you’ve got all the best players in the world playing, then there’s an argument to say ‘OK, we need to get this thing back together.’ “But on the flip side, if the numbers aren’t as good, it’s an argument to still say we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game even if they don’t want to tune in to the four major championships.” The Masters final round ratings came out today and there is a reported 20% drop in TV viewership from last year’s final round. Earlier in the week ESPN reported that it had its largest two-day average (3.4 million viewers) for the first and second rounds of The Masters tournament since 2018. Coincidentally the first-round leader of the tournament was @b_dechambeau , Tiger Woods was back and playing decent (the first two rounds) and world #1 Scottie Scheffler was one shot back from DeChambeau. At the end of the second round DeChambeau was tied for the lead with Scheffler, and Tiger Woods made the cut. No wonder ESPN had good viewership numbers for the first two rounds. A LIV Golf player was tied for the lead with world number #1 Scottie Scheffler after the second round and Tiger Woods made his 24th consecutive cut in The Masters, a record for major championships. Then everything went downhill from there. At the end of the third round DeChambeau had faded to 5th place, 4 shots behind the leader Scheffler and at that point everyone had Scheffler as the tournament winner, which he won on Sunday. Scheffler played wonderful golf and dominated the last round of the tournament, he won by 4 shots over a PGA Tour player playing in his first ever major championship and 7 strokes over a group of Tour veterans. LIV Golf players Cam Smith and DeChambeau finished in a tie for 6th place, 9 shots back of the winner. The tournament was decided early in the final round, there were no back nine roars, and no one really threatened Scheffler’s lead. In the past when Tiger Woods had those dominant tournaments the TV ratings did not suffer. On the contrary, sometimes they increased. There are four factors for the drop in TV ratings: 1. The lack of charismatic players at the top of that leaderboard, starting with the eventual winner Scottie Scheffler and followed by a Tour rookie with a wonderful game but not much personality. Scheffler is playing the best golf in the world and is the undisputed world #1 but as we say in Spanish, he is a “huevo sin sal” (a boiled egg without salt), his game is awesome, but even with all the push from the golf establishment he doesn’t have the charisma or the “star power” of a Woods, McIlroy or DeChambeau to name a few. 2. All the analysts gave the tournament to Scheffler at the start of the week and once he had the solo lead after the third round it was over for the viewers. They had been hearing all week that Scheffler was going to win it, and the golf media did not really push anyone else. 3. The lack of LIV golfers within close distance of Scheffler like it happened on the first two rounds, and CBS not showing much of those LIV players closer to the lead on Sunday. Four LIV players finished in the top 12 but LIV Golf fans saw little of them on TV. CBS ignored the LIV fans while ESPN was showing plenty of LIV players since Wednesday’s par 3 contest, big mistake by CBS! 4. Golf is divided! Like Rory said, “we need to put everyone back together because people are losing interest in the game.” That losing interest translates to 20% less on the PGA Tour and now 20% less on the final round of a major that is considered the biggest draw. Just a couple of weeks ago the women’s college National Basketball Championship game had almost twice as many viewers as The Masters final round. Now they will try to spin the bad ratings numbers with streaming app numbers, but we have been hearing for three years that streaming numbers does not count. For them, suddenly, streaming numbers are valuable! What the major golf organizations should do is stop the pettiness, move the egos to the side, ACCEPT that your industry is being disrupted (it was there for the taking, but you guys were asleep on the wheel), listen to what McIlroy and Jon Rahm Rodriguez have to say, and instead of dividing it further, get together in a room and solve this problem at ONCE (not in a year or two to see what happens or to wait for other investments like the TGL to get off the ground), do it for the good of the game! A lot has been said about the players greed and the money talks, but the major golf organizations and its leaders (Ridley, Tiger, Whan, Waugh, Slumbers, Kinnings, Monahan/Herlihy, et al.) are the greediest and most power hungry of them all, and are doing a disservice to the game of golf.

Scottie Scheffler has made golf look easy over the last few years, but he’s clearly frustrated with his game this week: “I felt like I was going to shoot about 90 today. “I don't know if you were out there on the course, but I was going to be hard to find if you were out watching my group. I felt like I got my first birdie putt of the day on the 13th hole. I maybe had one on 11, but I couldn't imagine I hit more than six or seven greens today. So around this golf course, with heavy rough and deep bunkers, you got to be hitting the ball in the right spots and for a long time today that was definitely not the case for me.” Scottie was visibly frustrated yesterday at the Memorial and had a long, heated discussion with his caddie Ted Scott after dunking a ball into the water. After rallying with 3 birdies in his last 6 holes today for a level par 72, he currently sits T20 and he was asked how proud he was to comfortably make the cut after looking in danger earlier in the round: “I think I grind like that every day. I think that's just part of the game. That's maybe some of the worst I've hit it in a couple years out there and I still managed to shoot even par around a golf course that requires to you strike the ball really well. Yeah, I'm definitely very proud of stuff like that. “This tournament was one that definitely could have got away from me, but right now I'm only nine shots back and still have a chance going into the weekend. With the conditions the way they are, you never really know what's going to happen around this golf course and just getting inside the cut line you still have a chance.” Scottie is currently 10 shots back of leader J.T Poston.
