Pro golf’s ongoing battle overshadows 1 huge positive
Another week, another explosive golf story. While it’s consumed much of the recent airtime in the insular world of professional golf, a less publicized but mostly positive evolution continues quietly in the background that could play a pivotal role in the future of the sport.
Scottie Scheffler’s Masters victory might have been the most significant development, as the Texan became just the fourth player in history to win four PGA Tour events before the Masters. It suggests that the 26-year-old is entering the prime of his career and could dominate the sport for years to come.
However, a recent incident involving Scheffler has once again highlighted the need for the PGA Tour to find new ways to generate excitement. The tour has been struggling to keep up with the popularity of other sports, and Scheffler’s scandal has only made matters worse.
