Scottie Scheffler reveals how his short game changes when playing links golf in Scotland compared to American courses. From using up to six clubs around the green to embracing creativity over power, Scheffler explains the contrasting demands of European and U.S. golf. Discover what makes links golf so unique and why Scheffler respects both styles of play.
In the US, Sheffler typically uses two clubs around the green, a 60deree and a 56 degree wedge. But in Europe, he’ll bring five or six clubs, sometimes all the way down to an eight iron. He values the challenge and diversity across formats, embracing the grind of US tournament conditions while relishing the creativity and traditional roots of European links golf. In essence, Sheffller sees US courses as a test of power and resilience and European links as a creative showcase. He respects both. US golf forces grit and straightforward execution while Europe offers a varied, inventive and historically rich challenge.
