Scottie Scheffler on Playing with Fellow Dallas Residents Spieth, Si Woo Kim: ‘It’s Just Fun’

For Scottie Scheffler, teeing it up alongside fellow Dallas-area residents Jordan Spieth and Si Woo Kim isn’t just about competition—it’s about camaraderie. As the trio takes center stage at THE CJ CUP, there’s an undeniable sense of comfort and familiarity in the group, and Scheffler is embracing every moment of it.

“It’s just fun,” Scheffler said with a smile. “We play a lot together back home, so having that same chemistry in a tournament setting makes it a little more relaxed—but we’re all still out here trying to win.”

The Dallas connection runs deep. Scheffler and Spieth, both Texas Longhorns and Ryder Cup teammates, have known each other for years and often share practice rounds. Si Woo Kim, though quieter, is a regular presence in the same local golf scene, and has built strong friendships with both players. The shared background adds a unique dynamic to their group—one that’s both supportive and quietly competitive.

“There’s definitely some bragging rights on the line,” Scheffler joked. “But more than anything, it’s great to play with guys who know your game and know you as a person. It brings out your best.”

Playing in front of home fans also adds extra motivation. “Dallas has been good to all of us,” he said. “So getting to put on a show for our people—it means a lot.”

As the tournament continues, don’t be surprised if this laid-back yet focused trio brings the fire when it matters most. With shared roots, strong games, and plenty of mutual respect, this Dallas-based group might just steal the show.
