Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy ready for Travelers Championship | Golf Central | Golf Channel

TOP 50 PLAYERS IN THE WORLD COMPETING FOR $20 MILLION 700 FEDEX CUP POINTS THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE WE FIND OUR GEORGE WHO HAS GOT MORE ON SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE GAME. >> IT IS THE FINAL SIGNATURE EVENT THIS SEASON ON THE PGA TOUR WITH WORLD NUMBER ONE SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER AS THE DEFENDING CHAMPION IF YOU LOOK AT LAST WEEK AT THE U.S. OPEN FINISHED 7070 ON THE WEEKEND IF YOU MADE ANYTHING, COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY SERIOUS FACTOR DOWN THE STRETCH ULTIMATELY HAVING A FINISH AT OAKMONT. ONLY ONE PLAYER WAS UNDER PART D AND THE WINNER AT 100 IS GOING TO BE A VERY DIFFERENT STORY THIS WEEK AT THE TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP. YOU FIGURE AROUND 20 UNDER COULD FINISH THIS WEEK. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED AND GOING FROM THE U.S. OPEN AT OAKMONT TO THIS WEEK TO TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP. >> I THINK IT’S A FAIR TEST. I THINK IT WAS A GOOD TEST, AS WELL. IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE A RELAXING WEEK AND WITH THE MAJOR CHAMPIONS, GET RELAXED AND NICE REST DAYS. YOU CAN GET OUT HERE AND MAKE SOME BIRDIES. >> WE HAVE SEEN A FEW TIMES IN YOUR CAREER AND YOUR DEFENDING CHAMPION THIS WEEK. IT HAS BEEN A KEY IN THOSE INSTANCES. >> I DON’T THINK THERE IS MUCH TO IT. I DON’T HAVE ANY STARTING STROKES THIS WEEK. THAT ACTUALLY DIDN’T REALLY MATTER. >> 2024 VERSION WITH SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER RIGHT NOW. DUPLICATES THE SAME GUY? >> YOU PROBABLY HAVEN’T SEEN MANY OF MY INTERVIEWS BUT I GET THIS QUEST OF THE LOT AND I DON’T THINK ABOUT THAT STUFF AND I DON’T COMPARE AND I’M JUST TRYING TO STAY IN THE PRESENT AND DO THE BEST I CAN. >> YOU WANT TO STAY IN THE PRESENT WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR GAME IS AT YOUR PEAK VERSION OF SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. HOW DO YOU DEFINE GREATNESS? >> I DEFINE SUCCESS FOR ME IS SHOWING UP AND BEING PREPARED FOR THE GERMAN AND HAVING A GOOD ATTITUDE. MOST OF MY SUCCESS IS DEFINED BY HOW MENTALLY I’M APPROACHING SHOTS. THAT’S WHAT I’M FOCUSED ON. >> IS THAT A TOUGH FOLLOW? IS THAT EASY TO CARRY FROM WEEK TO WEEK? McARDLE KNOW IF THAT’S EASY TO CARRY WEEK TO WEEK, BUT THAT’S THE APPROACH I TRIED TO TAKE AND I’M NOT TRYING TO FOCUS ON RESULTS BUT I’M TRYING TO BE PREPARED AND GET OUT THERE AND TRY TO EXECUTE AND MAKE SURE AND THINKING PROPERLY. >> TO COMPARE SEASONS AND GIVING PER MY LAST EMAIL, BUT I WILL BREAK IT DOWN. LAST YEAR, 11 CONSECUTIVE TOP TENS TO THE MEMORIAL DURING THAT TIME RIPPED OFF FIVE OF HIS SEVEN WANES. RIGHT NOW, CONSECUTIVE TOP TENS COMING INTO THIS WEEK’S TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP, INCLUDING THREE VICTORIES. HE WAS INJURED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, SO STARTED ABOUT A MONTH LATER, SO IT SEEMS LIKE SCOTTIE IS PRIMED FOR ANOTHER THIS ONE HAPPENING THE LATTER HALF. HE HAS THOSE THREE VICTORIES AND IS TIED WITH LORI FOR WORLD NUMBER ONE WITH THE WORLD NUMBER TWO PART AND THE MOST WINS ON THE PGA TOUR THIS SEASON. THIS IS AT THE U.S. OPEN, WHICH AT LEAST ENDED ON A HIGH NOTE WITH THE FINAL-ROUND 67 TYING THE LITTLE ROUND OF THE DAY AND A TOP 20 FINISH BUT I ASKED WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO ADD THE TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP BACK TO HIS AGILE. >> MADE A COMMITMENT TO TRAVELERS AFTER THAT AND I WANT TO HONOR THAT COMMITMENT. >> I THINK WHEN YOU ARE IN CONTENTION, YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THEM AND PLAYING A WEEK AFTER CAN BE SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT. IF YOU HAVE A WEEK LIKE I HAD IN OAKMONT, YOU ARE NEVER IN CONTENTION. YOU ARE SOMETIMES LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING NEXT WEEK AND IF YOU LIKE YOU FOUND SOMETHING, LIKE A GAME OR A LITTLE BIT OF MOMENTUM, BUYING LAST WEEKEND AND YOU ARE SORT OF LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK ON THE HORSE AND AGAIN. >> YOU CLOSED WITH 67. HOW TANGIBLE IS MOMENTUM TO CARRY OVER WEEK OVER WEEK VERSUS ROUND UP AROUND? >> I WAS ENCOURAGED BY A LOT OF THINGS LAST WEEK. STROKED OFF THE TEE, WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DONE THAT. ALL OF IT COMING IN OFF THE DRIVER AND OFF THE TEE, SO TO SEE THAT COME AROUND AND GET BACK TO WHERE I NEED IT TO BE OR WHERE IT USUALLY IS WAS A BIG DEAL FOR ME AND THAT IS SOMETHING I’M OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO CARRY INTO THIS WEEK AND OBVIOUSLY FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON, TOO. >> AMAZING CATHARTIC RELEASE AFTER THE MASTERS FOR YOU AND A POWERFUL MOMENT FOR THE FENCE. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE SET UP FOR A VISTA RELAPSE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. I DON’T KNOW IF THE EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY HAVE NECESSARILY SYNCED UP, BUT WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN EXPERIENCING AND HOW DO YOU THINK THAT’S GOING TO. FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON? >> I WOULD PROBABLY SAY THAT IT’S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A LIKE FUNK OR FLAT PERIOD AND TRYING TO FIND AND TRYING TO FIND REASONS TO KEEP GOING WHEN THEY DO SOMETHING DILATED TO IT ON SUNDAY WHEN YOU FINALLY ACHIEVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO YOUR WHOLE LIFE. I HAVE PLAYED FIVE EVENTS SINCE AUGUSTA ALREADY AND I HAVEN’T REALLY CAUGHT MY BREATH. OTHER SPORTS AND ATHLETES CAN WIN A SUPER BOWL OR CHAMPIONSHIP AND THEY GO AND DISAPPEAR FOR FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AND THEY CAN REALLY ENJOY IT. I JUST TRY TO DEAL WITH IT AND BALANCE THAT AND PUT ENOUGH TIME AND I STILL WANT TO PLAY TOURNAMENTS, BUT I DON’T WANT TO SHOW UP AND NOT PLAY. AT THE SAME TIME, I WANT TO PUT ENOUGH WHEN WORK TO KNOW THAT WHEN I SHOW UP I’M GETTING ENOUGH OUT OF MYSELF >> HOW DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW YOU FOUND IT. >> WHEN I’M EXCITED TO PLAY AGAIN. NOT THAT I’M NOT EXCITED. I THINK THERE HAS TO BE. WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND PAIRED WITH NOT PLAYING WELL I THINK IT’S PART OF THIS WHOLE THING PRODUCING SIGNS OF MY GAME AND SEEING SIGNS OF LIFE WHERE YOU WANT MY GAMING TO BE, LIKE LAST WEEKEND, ESPECIALLY OFF THE TEE, THAT GIVES ME EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASM TO KEEP GOING AND TO SEE WHAT I HAVE THIS WEEK AND SEE WHERE I GO FROM THERE. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING THIS WEEK. THERE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN SOME OFFENSE AFTER THE MASTERS THAT MAYBE HAVE NOT BEEN QUITE AS EXCITED FOR. AS I SAID, I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK ON THE HORSE AND PLAYING AGAIN. >> I THINK GOLF FANS WANT TO SEE MORE FOR MARIE AND
