Scottie Scheffler produced a final-round 8-under 68 to claim a second Green Jacket at The 2024 Masters Tournament.

The 27-year-old Texan got off to a somewhat slugglish start with four birdies and three bogeys over his first 11 holes. But Scheffler picked up the pace down the stretch, highlighted by a three-birdie binge in a four-hole sequence (Nos. 13, 14, and 16) to pull away from the pack and claim his second Masters trophy.

For his ninth career PGA Tour victory, and second major title, Scheffler earned $3,600,000 and 750 FedEx Cup points.

Quotables: 3 Questions for Scottie Scheffler

1. Your rivals will be hoping that at some point you’re going to take your eye off the ball. By the time of the next major in a month’s time, you’ll have a baby in your arms. What are the chances that you will take your eye off the ball?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Well, I’m definitely not going to intentionally take my eye off the ball. I will go home, soak in this victory tonight. Will definitely enjoy the birth of my first child. But with that being said, I still love competing. My priorities will change here very soon. My son or daughter will now be the main priority, along with my wife, so golf will now be probably fourth in line.

But I still love competing. I don’t plan on taking my eye off the ball anytime soon, that’s for sure.

2. You say constantly the identity is not in your golf scores. What is it about winning and competing that you find satisfying?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: You know, that’s a really good question. I was sitting around with my buddies this morning, I was a bit overwhelmed, I told them, I wish I didn’t want to win as badly as did I or as badly as I do. I think it would make the mornings easier.

But I love winning. I hate losing. I really do. And when you’re here in the biggest moments, when I’m sitting there with the lead on Sunday, I really, really want to win badly. And my buddies told me this morning, my victory was secure on the cross. And that’s a pretty special feeling to know that I’m secure for forever and it doesn’t matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament. My identity is secure for forever.

3. Was there anything Meredith said to you this morning that helped you on your way to victory today?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: She just asked me if she could pray for me. And I actually wasn’t able to talk to her very long this morning which was unusual. She sent a lot of prayers. My neck was bugging me a little bit. Just prayed for some healing and prayed for a lot of peace out there. I had a good conversation with my buddies this morning about the victory and that victory already being secure.

So, yeah, it was — it was a longer morning, again, than anticipated this year, but I would say it wasn’t as long as it was a couple years ago, but still a long morning.
