Scheffler Downplays Personal Feud as McIlroy–DeChambeau Rivalry Heats Up After The Open

Scottie Scheffler weighed in on the growing McIlroy–DeChambeau rivalry after The Open, defending DeChambeau amid a controversial two‑stroke penalty and a threatened withdrawal, while McIlroy criticized him as performative and not worth defending. Scheffler urged that in golf rivalries are more about the competition with the course than personal jabs, with tensions and future Ryder Cup‑style matchups likely to keep the storyline alive.

Scheffler’s slump, home hopes and a wedding at the Open

Scottie Scheffler arrives at Royal Birkdale off a rare missed cut as he defends the Open on a heat-stressed, redesigned links course. Rory McIlroy pursues a first home major, with English contenders like Aaron Rai, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose in the mix. The event also features feel-good amateur stories, including David Howard, plus a wedding subplot as Joe Dean—who earned the final spot—plans to marry his fiancée Emily Lyle, who will also caddie for him, all under a new crowd-conduct code to curb heckling.

Hovland Surges Past Scheffler in Monday Travelers Playoff to Claim Championship

Viktor Hovland edged world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a Monday playoff at the Travelers Championship to win at TPC River Highlands, his eighth PGA Tour victory and first since the 2025 Valspar Championship. The two were tied at 21-under, traded leads through the final rounds amid rain delays, and Hovland sealed the win after Scheffler missed a four-foot par save, becoming the first international winner of the event since 2016.

Scheffler, Hovland head to Monday playoff at Travelers after weather delay

Scottie Scheffler forced a Monday playoff against Viktor Hovland at the rain-delayed Travelers Championship after draining an 8-foot par putt on the 18th to finish 21-under 259. Hovland, who also shot 69 to join at 21-under, will resume the playoff at 9 a.m. Monday, the first PGA TOUR event to extend to a second day since last year’s Players Championship. Collin Morikawa finished at 20-under 260 after a late push, while weather and daylight limited the Sunday finish.

Scheffler blasts 'absurd' pins as US PGA halfway pressure mounts at Aronimink

At Aronimink, halfway through the US PGA Championship, two-under leads; Scheffler shot 71 after early bogeys and criticized the tournament’s pin placements as the hardest he’s faced on tour, singling out the 14th. Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy sit at four under, with Aldrich Potgieter briefly at five under before back-to-back bogeys. Hideki Matsuyama is two back, along with Chris Gotterup and Min Woo Lee, while Rory McIlroy sits three under after a rough start. Scoring remains tight as wind and course setup test the field ahead of the weekend.

Seven-Way Lead Emerges as Scheffler Contends in Turbulent PGA Championship Round 1

Aronimink hosted a brutally tough Round 1 of the PGA Championship, producing a historic seven-way tie for the 3-under lead and a massive cluster—48 players within three of the lead, the most ever in a modern major after one round. Scottie Scheffler is among the leaders, joined by notables such as Martin Kaymer at 3-under, Aldrich Potgieter (the youngest leader since 1999), and others like Lowry, Schauffele and Reed a stroke back. Jon Rahm is under par thanks to an eagle from 98 yards, while Rory McIlroy (74) and Bryson DeChambeau (76) struggled. The wide-open mix sets up an unpredictable weekend with a deep field still very much in play.
