Scottie Scheffler Swing Breakdown | GolfPass

Scotty Sheffller, 2025 Open Champion. What a dominant performance. Left the competition and the dust behind him. A lot of people make a big deal about his footwork. I don’t bother too much about that because quite truthfully, if you look at his swing, whatever he does with his feet, it’s usually well after he’s hit the ball. Nothing funny there. What I do want to draw to your attention is like an another magnificent open champion before him. Some might call his swing a little bit old school. I’d call it a lot like Jack Nicholas. Now, I put a circle just above Scotty’s head here. And as you go back, you’re going to see his hands get just about in that circle. So, there’s a height to his hands going back. And this is really important. This was something Jack Nichols actually told me that he did. He wanted to feel that the hands were the same height going back, the same height going through. I going back, I going through. And you can see he absolutely does that. What does that do? It keeps your club on a very good plane. If you have the same height with your hands going back and the same height with your hands going through, you’re going to swing very much towards your target. Very good for accuracy. Okay. Second thing where I think Scotty Sheffler is remarkably similar to the great Jack Nicholas, he hits past his chin. Now, what do I mean by that? If you look where Scotty’s chin is pointing here, right back down there behind the ball. If you look where Scotty’s chin is pointing when he hits the ball, he’s hitting past his chin. He’s not turning his head too early to turn towards the target. And that goes very well with upright golf swings. If you are going to have hands high on the back swing, hands high on the follow through. The feeling of keeping your chin pointing behind the ball until well after the golf ball is gone would be a really good thing to do. You can see that. And the third thing that Scotty does is he keeps the window open. Now this slows down the closing rate of his club face. By keep the window open. I mean look at that. You see, we can just see a little gap between his left upper arm and his uh right upper arm. He’s keeping the window open. He’s not rolling the arms through the hitting area too much. So, I think Scotty’s recipe for success swingwise is he doesn’t worry about his feet, but he gets his hands high on the back swing. He gets his hands high on the follow through. That keeps the club swinging towards the target. He keeps the chin. And this is a biggie golfers. This has sort of got lost. You know, some people might say Scott, he’s old school. I say, “No, no, no. He’s classical. He’s keeping his chin pointing behind the ball until after he’s hit the ball.” And then, as you can see, he keeps the window open. Even that late in the swing, the windows open. That gives him a swing that makes it very difficult to hook the ball left of target. helped him hit some remarkable shots, winning the Open Championship this week. And like all of you, I’m sure it was a great delight to watch him win this open championship. Astonishing performance.
