Scheffler is without a victory so far in 2025GettyThe Byron Nelson: What has been said?
Speaking at the recent RBC Heritage, where he finished T8, Scheffler believes he’s closing in on his next big win.
He said: “I think I’m really close.
“I feel like I did a lot of things well, just a few of the important shots I just didn’t pull off. Outside of that, it was a pretty solid week.”
Scheffler was also asked about his chances of securing the career Grand Slam, having watched Rory McIlroy do so at The Masters.
He added: “The feeling you get from winning a tournament is pretty special. For me, I wish it lasted longer than it did. It doesn’t really last very long.
“Was it pretty awesome watching Rory win the Grand Slam? Of course it was. But as far as my life goes, I try to stay in the present. I don’t think very often about career goals.
“Winning the career Grand Slam, I think that’s something that any golfer would dream of, but at the end of the day, I’m just trying to get the most out of myself. That’s about it.”
