As the final major of the golf calendar approaches, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are reflecting on their thoughts about legacy. Scheffler, the defending Champion Golfer of the Year, has had a rocky season and recently missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open.
Legacy and Mortality
When asked about playing for his legacy or history, Scheffler said he doesn’t play for a place in history because, at the end of the day, he will live his life and it will end. He added that he will not be around to see what people say about him after he’s gone. McIlroy shared similar sentiments, stating that he doesn’t care what people think of him because he will be dead and won’t see what people say about him.
The two golfers’ comments come ahead of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, where the course is expected to be firm and conditions will be mild. The tournament is set to be a challenging one, with players needing to make difficult choices and focus on their game.
