Houston Rockets jersey history No. 13 - Larry Smith
Exploring the Houston Rockets jersey history, focusing on No. 13 worn by Larry Smith.
Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer, will skip the upcoming Truist Championship to take a break from his busy schedule. He recently performed well at the Cadillac Championship, tying for sixth place.
After opening with a polished 67 in the second round of the Cadillac Championship, Scottie Scheffler sounded like a player fully embracing the rhythm — and the energy — of life on the PGA Tour.
Standing amid the bustle of Doral, Scheffler reflected on how much he values competing in front of fans, leaning into the atmosphere that signature events are designed to create. Week after week, he said, the crowds bring an edge and a connection that elevates the experience, something he’s grown to cherish as the world’s top-ranked player. Entering the weekend tied for sixth at the season’s fifth signature event, Scheffler looked every bit at home in the spotlight.
Yet that routine will pause soon enough. Despite his comment about playing “week in, week out,” Scheffler will not be in the field next week at the Truist Championship, opting instead for a break in an increasingly relentless schedule.

He isn’t alone. As purses continue to swell and elite fields become the norm, players are weighing opportunity against sustainability. With another lucrative start always just around the corner, some of the game’s biggest names are embracing a version of load management more commonly associated with other professional sports — strategically resting their bodies and minds to stay sharp for the tournaments that define careers.
This week’s 72-man field underscores the depth of talent when everyone shows up. Sixty-three players ranked inside the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking are at Doral, including 37 from the top 50 and seven from the top 10. Still, notable absences stand out. Five of the world’s top 15 — Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, Robert MacIntyre and Ludvig Åberg — chose to skip the event altogether.

Scheffler understands the math. Playing a string of high-intensity tournaments, he admitted, extracts a toll that goes beyond the scorecard. At this level, managing energy can be just as important as managing the lead.
