The world number one is now halfway to completing the full set of majors after securing the Wanamaker Trophy by five shots at Quail Hollow on Sunday (18.05.25) but is determined to keep himself in the present rather than set long-term ambitions.

Scheffler said: "I don’t focus on that kind of stuff. I love coming out here and trying to compete and win golf tournaments. That is what I’m focused on.

"After this week, I’m going to go home and get ready for next week’s tournament and the show goes on. If I show up and miss the cut next week, I’m going to have to answer questions of what went wrong and just start over again. That’s one of the things that can be frustrating about our game and it’s also what’s great about our game.

"If I had a tough day today and came in with a loss, I could step back up on the tee Thursday next week and have another chance to win a tournament. It’s an endless pursuit and it’s a lot of fun. It’s definitely one of the great joys of my life to be able to compete out here."

Scheffler secured his third major title a year on from being arrested for an alleged traffic offence at the gates of the Valhalla course and described it as "very sweet" to have happy memories of the tournament this year.

The US golfer, who previously won The Masters in 2022 and 2024, said: "It’s definitely very sweet sitting here with the trophy. I definitely have a few jokes that I want to say that I’m probably going to keep to myself. Last year sometimes, it still doesn’t almost feel real. It really doesn’t. It’s just one of those deals that I really don’t know how to describe it. But I can tell you it’s very sweet sitting here with the trophy this year.

"This was a hard week on a very difficult golf course and very difficult conditions over the weekend. The winds were high and it was very challenging. I’m definitely very pleased to be sitting here with the trophy. It’s a pretty sweet feeling."
