Scottie Scheffler and Tyrrell Hatton return to action this week, taking on the Procore Championship and BMW PGA Championship respectively.
Scheffler is paired with J.J. Spaun for the first two rounds in Napa, which may foreshadow a partnership at the Ryder Cup.
The pair will represent the United States team at Bethpage Black later this month, with Hatton doing the same for Team Europe.
And his Ryder Cup partner may also have already been chosen, given his grouping with Robert MacIntyre at Wentworth.
But along with focusing on the BMW PGA Championship this week, Hatton has been tasked with sharing his views on one of America’s leading men.
How Tyrrell Hatton feels about Scottie Scheffler’s anger on the golf course
Often cutting a very frustrated figure on the course, Hatton was asked for his opinion on Scheffler’s anger while playing the game.
He said on 5 Clubs: “I like it. He’s pretty cool most of the time and the last few years he has been very calm, but there has been the occasional head off. But I like it. There’s no judgment on my side!”
How has Scottie Scheffler shown his anger on the PGA Tour in 2025?
Hatton by his own admission is in no position to judge another player’s anger, having arguably lost his cool more than any other golfer over the years.
And while Scheffler has carded a very calm and composed figure more often than not, his emotions have certainly got the better of him at times.
Scheffler was very frustrated at the Tour Championship last month, where he slammed his club into a bunker, having done the same on the fairway during the US Open.
Moreover, Scheffler was angry at being put on the clock at the BMW Championship, with such anger understandable given his relatively fast pace of play.
Also this season, Scheffler shocked golf fans by slamming his bag at the WM Phoenix Open, with his anger levels having seemingly increased as his career has progressed.
At the same time, however, his number of wins has risen, while he’s also been able to laugh in times of adversity, much to his credit.
Tyrrell Hatton says if he thinks the DP World Tour can resolve LIV Golf issue by 2027 Ryder Cup
Hatton hasn’t quite been as reserved, with a fine among his punishments after he snapped a club at the 2024 DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
But the Englishman has been discussing other fines ahead of the Ryder Cup, with the DP World Tour penalising its players by that method if they appear in LIV Golf events, which the likes of Hatton and Jon Rahm have done since joining the Saudi-backed tour.
Importantly, LIV Golf is set to stop paying the fines received by its players from the DP World Tour after this year.
And that could severely impact future European Ryder Cup teams, with its players needing to be DP World Tour members to take part.
Sharing his verdict on whether or not the current situation will be resolved by the 2027 Ryder Cup, he said: “You would like to be positive about it. I think everyone who watches golf and covers golf would like things to change for the good.
“From my side I will play the events that I want to play and hopefully other people can figure out how to best move forward with golf and we will see how it plays out.”
For now, however, Hatton is eligible to take on Bethpage Black, where intriguingly he could come face-to-face with world number one Scheffler.
