Scheffler, the undisputed king who makes winning look like a walk on TikTok
If anyone doubts that Scottie Scheffler is currently the Terminator of golf (but with a better smile and less apocalypse), check the Memorial Tournament scoreboard. The Texan not only revalidated his title as champion, but he did so with the elegance of someone “just hanging out”… while the other players struggled not to collapse like a house of cards on a windy day.
With a final score of 278 (-10), four strokes less than Ben Griffin (who, let’s be honest, did what he could), Scheffler showed why he is number one in the world. His victory at the Muirfield Village Golf Club (Ohio) was not just another trophy for his showcase, but a reminder that Tiger Woods already has competition in the club of the two-time Memorial champions. Is it a coincidence that they both dominate with that mix of genius and “yes, I know” look? We think not.
The Year of Scheffler: When was the last time he *didn’t* win?
This is his third victory in 2025 (after the CJ Byron Nelson Cup and the PGA Championship), which makes us wonder: does this guy have a pact with the devil… or is his putter just blessed? Even his post-tournament statements are textbook: “It’s always a difficult week,” , he said, as if he hadn’t just humiliated the field with the same ease with which we humiliate our attempts at cooking.
Meanwhile, in another universe (or, well, in Wisconsin), the Mexican Gaby López was fighting her own battle in the US Women’s Open. After three rounds in the Top 10, a 75 in the final round left her in 20th place. Is it because of nerves? Wind? That golf is a cruel sport that hugs you before pushing you down the stairs? Who knows. The truth is that Maja Stark (Sweden) took the title, while Nelly Korda and Rio Takeda shared second place. And Lopez? Well, at least he beat the majority… and that in a major is already a win.
Moral: Golf does not forgive, but neither does Scheffler
If this weekend leaves us with anything, it is that Scheffler is in “hard” mode and the rest are playing in “beginner.” Meanwhile, López continues to show that Mexico has talent, although sometimes golf is more treacherous than an ex. What’s next? More tournaments, more drama and, surely, more trophies for Scottie. Because, apparently, no one has the code to stop it.
