It wasn’t fun, Garrick Higgo admitted. Obviously played terrible last year. If you look at how I used to swing it till now, it’s completely different. That whole time frame, it’s tough to play competitive. After enduring a year filled with highs, lows, and nagging injuries, the 25-year-old South African suddenly finds himself back on top, leading the Sanderson Farms Championship at 6 under par. But for Higo, the bigger victory isn’t just the leaderboard position. It’s the lessons learned along the way that a few weeks ago, Higo was grouped with world number one Scotty Sheffller at the Procourt Championship. A pairing that while not ending in a win, gave him something far more valuable, perspective. Facing Sheffller up close is a rare experience, almost cinematic, considering how effortlessly the Texan rewrites golf history week after week. I learn a lot. I couldn’t tell you how much I learned, but I learned so much just by watching. Higo said, “He’s an inspiration for all of us. He set the bar so high. It’s just phenomenal how high his skill level is.” Sheffller proved that point in vintage fashion at Procore. After a bogey on 11, he immediately bounced back with a chip and birdie on 12, then caught fire with six birdies against just one bogey. Storming to his six PG tour title of 2025 at 19 under. Higo finished tied for seventh at 14 under, but walked away deeply impressed. Obviously, he’s got a great mind, too. But it’s just amazing how good he hits the golf ball and he’s putting great and he chips great. So, yeah, that putting once a weak link in Sheffller’s game has now become a weapon. He leads the tour in strokes gained, putting plus 2.743, ranks top 10 in bird or better conversion, and sits 18th in one putt percentage. His clutch finishes from chipins at the BMW Championship to long bombs at the players have become routine highlights for Higo. Watching Sheffler respond to pressure underscored everything he admires about the world number one. Resilience, poise, and unrelenting consistency. Those are qualities Higo has had to rediscover in himself after enduring a painful hip labum tear that almost required surgery. It wasn’t hurting me in my swing, but walking made it really bad. and then it would pinch the next day, he explained. So, just figuring out how I can avoid that. Instead of going under the knife, Higo rehabbed, rebuilt his swing, and fought his way back to the winner’s circle, capturing the Corales Panakana Championship, his second PGA Tour title, and first since 2021’s Palmetto Championship. That’s why his week at Procore meant so much. Unlike others battling for FedEx Cup points, Higo already has PGA Tour status secured through 2026 and a guaranteed spot in the players. What he truly needed was confidence, and he found it by watching Sheffller up close. Higgo isn’t the only one. Youngsters like Justin Hastings, who played alongside Sheffller in round three, have shared similar awe. Yeah, it was unreal, Hastings said. I just found myself constantly having to take deep breaths and slow myself down. Even veterans feel Sheffller’s impact. Jordan Spece the face of American golf has admitted that Sheffller’s current dominance has pushed him to reflect on his own form. What he’s doing is very inspiring. Spe said after Sheffller’s win at the CJ Cup by Nelson. It wasn’t that long ago I was definitely better than him and now I’m definitely not right now and I hate admitting that about anybody. Ironically, Sheffller himself isn’t comfortable with the inspiration label. Ahead of the British Open, he downplayed the idea entirely. I’m not out here to inspire the next generation of golfers, he said. I’m not out here to inspire someone to be the best golfer in the world because what’s the point? This is not a fulfilling life. It’s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it’s not fulfilling from the deepest places of your heart. Yet, whether he accepts it or not, Sheffller is the standard, the measuring stick for a new era of golfers. For Higo, Hastings, and countless others, watching him perform isn’t just motivating. It’s a masterclass in modern golf excellence. A S Higgo put it best. The inspiration may not be intentional, but it’s impossible to ignore.
