The Olympics is going to be very special, says Scottie Scheffler

It’s pretty special to win my sixth tournament (in 2024 at the Travelers Championship) and it’s been a great season. I’ve been fortunate to come away with some wins and it’s been a lot of fun. Tom Kim played his heart out and it was fun battling him. He’s one of my good buddies and we play a lot of golf together at home in Dallas as well as out here on Tour.

It’s always fun competing against your friends, but it’s also really tough. Then when I see him make bogey in the play-off hole, it hurts because that’s my friend. However, Tom should remember the putt he made on 18 (in regulation play to make the play-off) because it was pretty special. He’s got a habit of making those putts when it matters. He’s got the right attitude to play out here for a long time and he’s only 22.

During the final round, the putts were hanging right around the edge and I felt like I hit a lot of good putts, especially on the back nine. Man, it was tough watching each one roll by the edge but I kept fighting and stayed in it.
