Grant Horvat played against Scottie Scheffler in a made for YouTube match a couple of weeks ago.

Scheffler ended up beating Horvat – a plus handicap golfer – by 10 strokes that day, and the outcome of the match served as further evidence of just how good the very best players in the world really are.

The two-time major winner got off the mark with his first win of 2025 two weeks ago at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

And he is now expected to challenge for The PGA Championship trophy this week.

However, Scheffler wasn’t happy after picking up a mud-ball – one that caused him to miss the green left and find the water during the opening round on the 16th hole.

He was nowhere near his best during his opening round at Quail Hollow, but finished up with a solid round of two-under-par 69.

There’s definitely more to come from the Dallas native during the next few days.

And if he brings his best stuff, he will probably win.

If there is someone in the game to learn from when it comes to ball-striking, Scheffler is the man for the job.

Grant Horvat says he’s made one change to his game after watching Scottie Scheffler

The famous YouTuber got to watch the two-time Masters winner up close and personal two weeks ago.

Despite losing by 10 strokes, Horvat picked up a really useful tip from Scheffler.

He took to his X account on Friday and shared exactly how the 28-year-old PGA Tour star has helped change his game.

And in typical Scheffler fashion, what Horvat learnt from him has to be one of the most simple things in golf.

Scheffler is well-known for his imperious ball-striking.

The fact that he stands closer to the ball than other tour pros enables him to compress the golf ball better than most – better than everyone else in fact.

Scheffler now has to start winning majors regularly to hammer home his dominance

The 14-time PGA Tour winner is already the number one golfer in the world.

However, in order to reach the next level, he has to start ticking off some major wins on a more consistent basis.

He’s easily good enough to win one major every year on average over the next five or six years.

And if he manages to do that, he will achieve legendary status in the game.

Can Scheffler emulate Rory McIlroy by joining the Grand Slam club at some point in the future? It would take a brave man to bet against him doing just that.
