Scottie Scheffler faces tough competition from Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm at 2023 Open Championship
While Scheffler is a favorite to win, Rory McIlroy is coming fresh off a win at the Scottish Open and looking to take his first major victory in almost a decade. Along with him, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, and Wyndham Clark - all 2023 major winners - will also be looking to pick up another major this year.
While Scheffler is looking forward to winning a major, he would not be disappointed if he did not manage to do so. Speaking via Golf Digest he said:
“A year without winning a major would be pretty similar to the other 25 years of my life, I guess. Yes, it's so fun to win majors, but I'm not going to sit at the end of the year and look back on the year and be frustrated or upset because I didn't win a major."
