Scheffler has experienced a really strange season on the PGA Tour so far in 2026.
By most players’ standards, it would have been an all-time season, with one win, three runner-up finishes and six top-fives to his name.
However, Scottie Scheffler has clearly been nowhere near his best and in fairness, he probably had his ‘C’ game at the Cadillac Championship this week.
Cam Young has been in sensational form this season, and it’s fair to say that he could well be Scheffler’s main challenger.

Even Scheffler himself has admitted that he has been blown away by the quality of Young’s game.
Scottie Scheffler makes statement on Cam Young after Cadillac Championship win
Scheffler spoke to reporters on Sunday afternoon after securing his third consecutive runner-up finish on the PGA Tour.
The world number one was actually fairly happy with his own game, but he admitted that he just couldn’t compete with Young at Trump National Doral this week.
Scheffler responded when asked to share his verdict on Young as a golfer.
“Cam played fantastic golf all week,“ the world number one exclaimed.
“I played with him three out of the four days and he was hitting a lot of quality shots and making putts from anywhere. He was going to be to be a tough man to beat this week.
“I’ve always been very impressed with Cam’s game. Every time I played with him throughout — I mean, I’ve known him a long time.

“There are some tee shots out here that are really difficult and he stepped up and hit the shots. On the greens he was unbelievable this week.
“First 27 holes I don’t think he missed anything really. It was nuts. Guy was just holing everything.
“When you’re hitting really good shots and holing a lot of putts that’s a recipe to run away with a golf tournament.“
Scottie Scheffler comments on his game at the Cadillac Championship
Scheffler responded when asked by reporters to sum up his performance on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship.
“I felt like I couldn’t really get anything going,“ he replied.
“I was hitting it decent enough. Just putts were going kind of around the hole. Tough to get a lot of momentum. I hit it pretty nice to start, just didn’t hole the putts I needed to.
“Got kind of a tough break there on 7. Landed almost in the fairway and then you can’t even advance the ball more than 50 yards. That’s kind of tough. Not many spots on the course where that happens, but it happened there. Ended up making bogey there.
“Birdied 8. Then make a little bit of a sloppy bogey on 9 where I felt like I hit a good bunker shot and a good putt and just little stuff like that. Just didn’t really get enough momentum going.
“Wasn’t hitting it close enough and wasn’t holing those 15- to 20-footers when I needed ’em. Overall, some good takeaways from this week.“
Cameron Young blew the entire field away at the Cadillac Championship this week, and Scottie Scheffler just couldn’t apply enough pressure on him on Sunday.
Still, three consecutive runner-up finishes for the world number one is nothing to be sniffed at, and he will undoubtedly win again soon.
