228: What Makes Scottie Scheffler One of the Best Ever?

228: What Makes Scottie Scheffler One of the Best Ever?

After yet another Scottie Scheffler win against a strong field on a challenging golf course, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme zoom out to examine the formula that makes Scottie great, and whether his best attribute might be something other than his elite ball-striking. SK and CH also discuss some bold comments from Jack Nicklaus, and what his statement means about Scottie's place alongside Jack and Tiger Woods as one of the greatest to ever play golf.

Smylie and Charlie also discuss the latest Ryder Cup standings - in particular, one player who is looking like a lock after a season of consistency and durability. Jordan Spieth and Keegan Bradley are also discussed as they continue to build cases for captain's picks, and why they would or wouldn't be selected.

Finally, we review big changes to the Tour Championship format, what we expect to see at East Lake in a few months, and whether a more creative solution could have been chosen to conclude the PGA TOUR season.
