McIlroy: Scheffler’s dominance could leave the field in the dust for Player of the Year

Rory McIlroy said he isn’t a legitimate threat for the 2026 Player of the Year, joking that Scottie Scheffler’s dominance makes the field look ‘hopeless’ after Scheffler’s eight‑shot win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. McIlroy finished 66th in Memphis, while Scheffler notched his 21st PGA Tour win (and second this year), pushing career earnings to about $119 million—near Tiger Woods’ all‑time record. The remark underscores Scheffler’s clear lead in the season and McIlroy’s tempered optimism about overtaking him.
