In one of the most honest and introspective moments of the 2025 pro gold season, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler gave one of the most revealing answers of the year during his press conference ahead of the 153rd British Open in what turned into a therapy session of sorts for him.

T he four major championships have come and gone in 2025 with three new winners being crowned across the biggest events of the season. Rory McIlroy won his Masters in dramatic fashion this April, completing the career grand slam and punching his ticket into golf's most exclusive club.

Scheffler won by four shots Sunday at Royal Portrush, his fourth major victory and first in an Open Championship.

The top-ranked golfer cruised to another dominant outing to claim the British Open. Scheffler, who entered the day with a massive four-shot lead, pushed it to seven at one point en route to his four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Nobody even came close to catching him.
