So you aren’t allowed to be conservative to win at Golf!! He is a class act and is loved by all his fellow golfers! But because he doesn’t act up for attention, you had to find some to criticize!

He's been playing great golf, but let's slow the roll on the "era" designation for Scheffler a bit. When you look back, it takes a bit more for an "era" to start. Nicklaus' era did begin with his second Masters in 1965, but that was his 4th major. He also broke Hogan's 72 hole record by 3 shots and beat Palmer and Player by 9 shots. Tiger's era wasn't a thing until 2000, when he won NINE TIMES that year, including 3 majors IN ONE YEAR, with a 15-shot margin at the US Open and an 8-shot margin at St. Andrews.

There is no Scottie Scheffler 'era'. Not yet. Speith, DJ, Koepka, all had huge dominant runs on Tour and in the majors, but it didn't last long enough to call it an 'era' for any of them. Maybe let Scottie's career breathe a bit before trying to define it.

Scheffler is married to his swing. He owns it. Others trade their games in like rental cars. Tenuous relationships which crack at first triple bogey.

all you guys about to hit the links, or do they make you wear golf stuff to do tv?

Define it with one word - ‘boring’ ! Painfully conservative it seems. Golf needs to move on to engage the emerging generation.

I say we define it as the "Golden Child" era

Impressive. However, he's the first prolonged favorite and frontrunner since Tiger began the injury portion of his career. There have only been a handful of players who were odds on favorites each time they stuck a tee in the ground during Tiger's absence. There was a time when Tiger simply arrived on site, and he went a stroke up on the field because of his imposing force being felt in players' spines. Which is where I struggle with the question of this video's title. I'm struggling to get over whether Scottie is taking the baton to mold the next era of golf at an inevitable time, or if he's currently the best of those pursuers I was suggesting above while Tiger's been away. My hypothetical question becomes this then, on Sunday at The Masters, having Tiger without injury and three back, on a charge turning to the back nine, with the crowd on his side, does Scottie hold up or fold like many before him? Having seen, heard, and frankly felt the concussion from his driver because I was so close, Scottie is no doubt amazing. I'm simply not sure yet what label is appropriate. 🏌‍♂️
