Scottie Scheffler might be the world number one in golf at the moment but to say his experience at the Ryder Cup has been poor would be an understatement.
Like so many of the US team, Scheffler has simply not had his game at all so far and heading into the singles on Sunday, he is yet to even nab half a point.
Scheffler has been partnered with Russell Henley, J.J. Spaun and now Bryson DeChambeau but it has made no difference whatsoever.

The world number one has been nowhere near the levels we’ve become accustomed to seeing.
And after equalling a dismal Tiger Woods record on day one, Scheffler has now done something not seen at a Ryder Cup since the 1960s.
Scottie Scheffler becomes the first player to lose four opening sessions since 1969
That’s a headline we didn’t expect to be writing going into this Ryder Cup but here we are.
Scottie Scheffler has just not had it. Whatever ‘it’ is, the world number one has just not had it in the locker.
Indeed, in doing so and being so poor, Scheffler has now lost all four of his matches at this year’s tournament and in doing so, he’s become the first player in the current format of the tournament to do since 1969.
As shared by Justin Ray on X, the last person to have such a dismal record was Peter Alliss.
Could Scottie Scheffler be scarred by his Ryder Cup performance?
Much like Tiger Woods, Scheffler hasn’t done the business in Ryder Cups so far and it does beg the question of if this will affect Scheffler going into 2026.
Scheffler wasn’t great in Rome in 2023 and we all know that in 2024 he came out firing and had one of the greatest years ever seen in golf.
However, this has been something else and the performance level as well as the beatings he’s taken could take some coming back from.
Of course, Scheffler is known as being one of the most mentally strong players on the PGA Tour and realistically, he probably comes back from this and has a big 2026.
Still, for now, it will haunt him and if he doesn’t win his Sunday singles match, then the alarm bells really might start ringing.
