Scottie Scheffler, the world's #1 golfer, won the British Open and reflected on the fleeting satisfaction of winning. Despite working hard, he acknowledges that victory is short-lived. He questions the deep desire for success and grapples with the complexities of identity beyond sports. Scheffler emphasizes the importance of balancing his life roles and asserts that golf is not his sole identity. He values relationships with family above his professional career and is determined to prioritize them over winning tournaments.
"We work so hard for something that is so fleeting. The feeling of winning-it just doesn't last that long. When I sit back at the end of the year and reflect on things, I have a deep sense of gratitude, but it just doesn't satisfy."
"Why do I want to win this tournament so bad? That's something that I wrestle with on a daily basis."
"If my golf ever started affecting my home life or my relationship with my son, that's going to be the last day I play out here for a living."
