I played Scottie Scheffler at pickleball and what I saw amazed me – I’m convinced he could turn pro

Scottie Scheffler has taken home nearly $50million in earnings from the course this year after a sensational season.

The world No1 shot 30-under to win the season ending Tour Championship and claim the lucrative FedExCup earlier this month.

It was the eighth victory of a year which also saw him claim an Olympic gold medal in Paris and earn a second Green Jacket at The Masters.

Golfers all around the globe are forced to cast an enviable gaze at Scheffler’s incredible talent.

And it appears that the 28-year-old is a natural at pickleball as well, regularly competing in celebrity events.

Former pro turned golf analyst Smylie Kaufman played a game with Scheffler and Sam Burns.

He discussed the contest on The Smylie Show podcast, claiming that the phenom could switch careers if he wanted.

“We had golf carts on the court lighting up the court, it’s late,” Kaufman said.

And so we get to playing pickleball and I have a good serve, that was something that I was able to hang onto for a little bit, and then I really started to struggle getting returns back.
