Scottie Scheffler revealed true thoughts on | Golf News

American golfer Scottie Scheffler maintained his dominant type with a gorgeous comeback triumph at this weekend’s BMW Championship, securing his fifth PGA victory of 2025 and leaving Robert MacIntyre prepared to “smash up his golf clubs”.

Scheffler carded a three-under on Sunday, highlighted by an unimaginable chip-in birdie on the seventeenth gap where he seized the lead for good, as MacIntyre crumbled under strain. Scheffler wasted no time reaching out to his common caddie, Ted Scott, who missed the victory and a substantial payday.

Earlier in the 2025 season, former world No. 2 golfer Phil Mickelson delivered a blistering prediction: ” Does Scottie win in 2025 before the Ryder Cup? I don’t think so,” he posted on X in early 2025.

Sunday’s triumph elevates Scheffler to 5 victories this 12 months, including two major championship wins (the PGA Championship and U.S. Open).

As anticipated, the post has emerged once more following Scheffler’s most latest victory as he continues to demolish Mickelson’s daring declare. The 29-year-old addressed Mickelson’s post earlier this summer season on the favored Barstool podcast ‘Pardon My Take’ with beloved host Big Cat.

“I think he was just throwing in the Ryder Cup because he couldn’t go against the USA there. He thinks he really wanted to say you weren’t gonna win anything,” Big Cat urged to Scheffler. “I would agree with that,” the American golfer concurred.

“I think that’s what he was trying to say, but you can’t say that America is gonna lose the Ryder Cup when you’re American….Phil is not dumb.” Scheffler also commented: “It was a great tweet.”

“But that was a really dumb tweet because you’ve won everything?” Big Cat retorted, main Scheffler to jest: “Yeah, it didn’t age very well.”

Mickelson was predictably criticized for his assertion on quite a few events. When four-time PGA Tour winner Kevin Kisner called him out, Mickelson responded with an intensive tweet.

“Kiz, my man. I’ve never been afraid to make mistakes on the course or off, knowing I’ll have to deal with scrutiny from the public, media, or social media. I’ve already acknowledged I was wrong on this,” he posted.

“This is a good example of why so many people are afraid to put themselves out there and compete or take risks because they know it’ll be thrown back in their face, and they can’t handle it. Fortunately, that’s not ever been my problem.

“But others wrestle dealing with the heat and scrutiny that skilled sports activities and being in the public eye carry, and drive many away from the sport, which is just too dangerous but is actuality for so many.”

Scheffler’s 5 victories carry his profession whole to 18, including 4 major titles.
