Scottie Scheffler reveals his favourite between Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau & Brooks Koepka- "He's a guy I love competing against"
Scottie Scheffler is currently gearing up to play the 2024 Presidents Cup, but in a few months he will be playing an exciting LIV Golf vs. PGA Tour match-up. Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will be taking on Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in a head-to-head match up in December.
The news comes as an exciting event for fans to look forward to, with it being the first match-up between the rival tours. While at the Presidents Cup, Scheffler spoke more about what this match entails. Scheffler said that he missed competing against Koepka and DeChambeau ever since they left for LIV.
Speaking via ASAP Sports, Scheffler also pointed out that Brooks Koepka was his favorite golfer to play against.
"I've partnered with Brooks and Bryson at Ryder Cups before. I've never obviously had a chance to play with Rory at the Ryder Cup, but those are two guys I really miss competing against. Brooks has five major championships -- five, six? Five. That's a pretty cool record for him. He's had a great career. He's a guy I love competing against," Scheffler said.
Scheffler also commented on Bryson DeChambeau and further said that the timing of the event just fell into place, which is why he committed to playing.
"You've got Bryson, with all his stuff, I think he's a fun guy to be around. It definitely interested me, and the way things fell together, it seemed to work out nice. It seems like a fun deal," he added.
The Match is expected to take place in Las Vegas and will be televised.
Scottie Scheffler speaks up about his relationship with LIV Golf players
Scottie Scheffler also spoke about his relationship with LIV Golf players over the years. He said that he was not really affected too much when it came to golfers going over to the LIV Golf Series.
While there was some friction in the beginning, Scheffler feels like enough time has passed. He said (via ASAP Sports):
"There's just so many moving pieces in that deal. It's one of those things where like my friendships to guys out there hasn't really changed that much. I think in the beginning when some of the guys were suing us, that was a bit frustrating for the players out here, but over time those things kind of fade."
Scheffler said that he has managed to maintain his boundaries between friendship and business, which has also kept his relationships intact.
"I don't think there was a ton of ill will for that type of stuff. At the end of the day, you have your business, and you have your personal stuff, and I try not to cross the lines too much just because things get a little hazy there sometimes," he added.
Currently, Scottie Scheffler is teeing it up for the US team at the Presidents Cup.
