Scottie Schefflerâs truly exceptional 2026 season on the PGA Tour carried on at the Cadillac Championship last week.
Despite receiving criticism for his form in 2026, Scheffler still has a win and six top-five finishes to his name in just nine events.
The 29-year-old has made every cut this season, and hasnât missed weekend golf for 73 consecutive events now.
Scottie Scheffler also hasnât finished outside the top-25 on the PGA Tour since August 2024.
Had Scheffler got off to better starts on the PGA Tour this season, he would almost certainly have won three or four times already in 2026.

It feels like we, as golf fans, have become numb to Scottie Schefflerâs brilliance over the past few years.
The fact that golf fans and journalists are not praising the Dallas native to the hilt for three consecutive runner-up finishes proves just how high our expectations are of him.
As far as golf fans are concerned, itâs literally a case of win, or youâve failed for the 29-year-old world number one.
Despite receiving flack for not being at his peerless best so far in 2026, the 20-time PGA Tour winner is still producing levels of golf that we havenât seen in a very long time.
He may have been disappointed with his runner-up finish at the last week.

The now LIV Golf player secured three straight second place finishes 12 years ago at the Travelers Championship, The Open Championship and the Bridgestone Invitational.
However, Schefflerâs feat is actually even more impressive than Garciaâs was back in 2014.
Thatâs because the Spaniard only had one solo second in that run of three consecutive runner-up finishes, while the American has finished second on his own in three straight tournaments.
Scheffler is producing truly remarkable levels of consistency right now.
And heâs quite simply not getting the praise that he deserves for that.
Golf fans expect the 29-year-old from Dallas to win every single time that he tees it up on the PGA Tour.
Thatâs no surprise because he does have 20 wins to his name since February 2022, including four major championships.
However, itâs time that we all took a step back and appreciated Scottie Scheffler for the levels he has been producing on the PGA Tour this season.
He may well not have been at his best but surely that is even more frightening for his rivals, given the set of results that he has produced.
