Tiger Woods mastered it. Some others have flirted with it on occasion, but never sustained the way Woods did.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Quietly, Scheffler, who spent his early years growing up in Bergen County, N.J., before his family moved to Dallas, has become the most dominant player in the sport, at one point winning four tournaments in six starts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was only this past fall that Scheffler was a mildly controversial captain\u2019s pick to the U.S. Ryder Cup side, because he hadn\u2019t yet won a tournament and there were questions about his ability to finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now he comes to Tulsa, Okla., for the 104th PGA Championship as the only player in the sport with a chance to win a Grand Slam in 2022, having won four of the past eight events he entered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That prompted fellow Texan and PGA Tour player Will Zalatoris to say, \u201cSeeing what he\u2019s doing obviously is borderline Tiger-esque \u2026 with the incredible golf that he\u2019s played.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to beat this guy all the time,\u201d added Zalatoris, who grew up playing youth golf with Scheffler. \u201cThe part that I love so much about Scottie is he\u2019s just such a good dude \u2026 and it tastes like vinegar coming out of my mouth, considering the amount of golf we play together, because I love him to death, it\u2019s really cool to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the other day I thought I played pretty good at a little [charity] event we played here at home [in Texas], shot 66. And he comes in with 63 and it\u2019s like, \u2018Good grief, man, like have an off day.\u2019 \u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/PGA-Championship-Capsules-Golf.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Scottie Scheffler puts on the green jacket after his Masters win. \" class=\"wp-image-22275720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/PGA-Championship-Capsules-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/PGA-Championship-Capsules-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/PGA-Championship-Capsules-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/PGA-Championship-Capsules-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Scottie Scheffler puts on the green jacket after his Masters win. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There haven\u2019t been a lot of \u201coff\u2019\u2019 days for Scheffler, who recently called Southern Hills one of his \u201cfavorite\u2019\u2019 courses in the world. He won a Big 12 individual title at the Tulsa course as a University of Texas freshman in 2015 and shot 6-under 64 in a recent practice there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Look out world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cYeah, going on to play the next major, he\u2019s going to feel very good,\u2019\u2019 said Nick Faldo, a multiple major winner and current CBS analyst. \u201cYou feel like, \u2018Wow, it\u2019s possible.\u2019 He\u2019s in a good mental state because he\u2019s winning literally every other week. He\u2019s had a nice rest and he\u2019ll be ready to go on a golf course, one of his favorite golf courses.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler\u2019s win at the Masters was highlighted not only by the poise he showed in leading the tournament nearly the entire way, but also for his honesty afterward about how he had an emotional meltdown the morning of the final round, telling his wife he wasn\u2019t sure if he was ready to handle the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s an honesty we don\u2019t get very often,\u2019\u2019 ESPN analyst and two-time U.S. Open winner Andy North said this week. \u201cThat, to me, was shocking that anybody admitted that that\u2019s where they were. In today\u2019s world of mental health and people understanding how important maybe letting those feelings be known. I thought it was quite amazing, but initially it was a little bit shocking that, \u2018Whoa, in the old days, no one would ever admit to that.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"716\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397044750.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Scottie Scheffler&#10;\" class=\"wp-image-22275718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397044750.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397044750.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397044750.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397044750.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Scottie Scheffler<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBut I think that\u2019s the beauty of so many of the younger players and athletes and people who are focusing on how important it is to have serious discussions about how you feel.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fellow ESPN analyst Curtis Strange, also a two-time U.S. Open winner, called Scheffler\u2019s personal revelation \u201cpart of the inside baseball [that] people like to hear.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The amazing thing about Scheffler\u2019s admission to weakness was how well he hid it in the cauldron of competition. He walked around Augusta National during the most pressure-filled moments of the Masters almost expressionless, with the look of an assassin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A win this week at Southern Hills would elevate Scheffler to a place of dominance few players have ever visited.
