Scottie Scheffler's Struggles in 2026: A Look at His Performance

Scottie Scheffler, a prominent golfer, has faced a challenging start to 2026 after a successful run in previous years, where he secured seven PGA Tour titles in 2024 and six more in 2025, including two majors.

This year, Scheffler's only win came at the American Express in January, and since then, he has not claimed any additional victories despite achieving 11 top-four finishes in 17 events, including five second-place finishes.

His struggles appear to stem from his opening rounds, which average 69.18, significantly impacting his ability to close out tournaments. Despite leading the PGA Tour in several key metrics, including adjusted scoring and greens in regulation, Scheffler's performance has raised questions about his potential for redemption at the upcoming FedEx St. Jude Championship, especially with changes to the Tour Championship format that may put him at a disadvantage.
