Scottie Scheffler returns to action this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, after his superb win at the PGA Championship on Sunday.

Scheffler is back in his home city of Dallas, Texas, this week, and will be looking to win his 16th PGA Tour title at Colonial Country Club.

The 28-year-old American is the red-hot favourite to win the Charles Schwab Challenge, after his dominant performance at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.

Randy Smith said Scheffler’s final round at the PGA Championship was the best round of golf he has seen him play.

Scheffler’s driver was deemed to be non-conforming before the PGA Championship had even started, but that didn’t slow him down one little bit.

In fairness, the three-time major champion wasn’t anywhere near his best during the week at Quail Hollow, but he still won comfortably.

That just goes to show how good Scheffler is.

Scottie Scheffler responds to Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka question

Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf three years ago.

Since those two players left, Scheffler has cleaned up on the PGA Tour.

And as a result, the Dallas native is constantly asked whether he would have won as much, had the LIV guys remained on the PGA Tour.

That question came up on Wednesday during Scheffler’s press conference.

He was asked if he ever wonders to himself whether he might not be number one in the world, if DeChambeau and Koepka were still playing on the PGA Tour.

He said, “Who knows? I only get to compete against those guys four times a year. That was their choice; not mine.

“At the end of the day I’m here competing and doing the best I can, and that kind of stuff, what’s the point of me thinking about, you know? There’s really absolutely no point to that.

“We get four chances to compete against them. Last week went well. I get another chance here in a few weeks.“

I mean, that’s a great response from Scheffler. I don’t understand why the journalist threw Koepka’s name in there instead of Jon Rahm or Joaquin Niemann, but that’s a debate for another day.

Scottie Scheffler streets ahead of Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka

Scheffler has proven time and time again that he is far superior to his fellow American stars.

The 28-year-old made a big statement with his win at the PGA Championship last week.

Koepka missed the cut, while DeChambeau battled valiantly to finish in a tie for second, five shots adrift of Scheffler.

The three-time major champion is the number one golfer in the world for a reason.

And Scheffler would definitely still sit at the top of the tree, even if Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka were playing regularly on the PGA Tour.
