As if Scottie Scheffler needed any more space to show off his bling, the Masters champ and current world no. 1 has revealed he's had to make additions to his trophy room hidden away at his Dallas home. The 28-year-old Texan spoke ahead of competing for Olympic gold in Paris, giving us an inside look at how much remodeling was needed after his insane run of six wins already in 2024.
"We built a couple additional shelves this year which is pretty fun," Scheffler said, in what has to be the understatement of the century. You'd think with four tour titles and two majors, the man would have more than enough room already! But our sources tell us Scheff has quite the impressive collection of cups, crystal, and diamond-encrusted pimp hats spilling out of every nook and cranny. " We were redoing the room as I was winning a bunch, and so we just kind of had to continue to adjust…I got some cool stuff that I like to hold on to. I got rid of a lot of stuff in the last year or so."

Our humble (yet arrogant) king didn't stop there, sharing the tale of how he was showing off his stacked hardware haul to wifey Meredith. "I think one time this year I took like a trophy, I took my green jacket and the plaid jacket, and I think I held like the Players trophy in one hand, and I had another trophy in the other hand and walked in the living room like, ‘Sup, Mer.’" Hate to break it to you pal, but that ain't exactly a "humble brag" - more like straight up flexing your Chad status to the missus!

While it's clear Scheff takes immense pride in his accomplishments as seen by the trophy room renovations, the world no. 1 was quick to revert back to his trademark humble attitude. "At the end of the day, I'm just a golfer and I'm just out here trying to compete," he continued, no doubt hoping to escape some accusations of arrogance for his earlier brags. "That's really all there is to it, and sometimes I'm good at it and sometimes I'm bad at it. I've talked about it a lot. It doesn't define me as a person. Doesn't define my life and I'm just happy to be here." Looks like Scheffle just can't lose - whether he's hoisting hardware or shutting down haters with classy soundbites. Only more mad respect can follow for this Texas machine.
With top golfers battling for top spot in the world rankings, the drama is sure to keep unfolding in Paris. Scheff will have his work cut out for him going up against defending Olympic champ Xander Schauffele, who brings momentum of winning the PGA and Open so far this year. May the best man (and his massive trophy collection) win!
