Player Overview
Scottie Scheffler has established himself as the dominant force in professional golf, holding the world number one ranking since 2022. A former University of Texas standout, Scheffler turned pro in 2018 and quickly ascended the PGA Tour ranks. His game is built on elite iron play and ball-striking precision — he leads the tour in strokes gained approach and tee-to-green. His two Masters victories and multiple signature event wins make him the most consistent high-floor, high-ceiling option in golf DFS. Scheffler rarely misses cuts, giving DFS players confidence that he will deliver four rounds of scoring. His ownership tends to be high, making him a better cash game play than GPP play in most weeks.
