Scottie Scheffler will be looking to make it two wins in a row on the
2022-23 PGA Tour by clinching the Genesis Invitational trophy.
What to know about Scheffler
The American star is the current World Number one in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) and arguably the best golfer in the world at the moment.
Scheffler has won seven professional tournaments including five PGA Tour events and two Korn Ferry Tour events.
Last year proved to be the 26-year-old's breakout season as a professional golfer as he won four events including the 2022 Masters Tournament.
Latest News
Scheffler won the most recent tournament on the 2022-23 PGA Tour which was the WM Phoenix Open at the TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 12.
The New Jersey-born golfer shot a final round 6-under 65 to beat Nick Taylor by two strokes as he recorded his seventh win as a professional.
He became the first golfer to successfully defend the WM Phoenix Open title since Hideki Matsuyama retained it in 2017.
Why Scheffler is among favourites
By winning the WM Phoenix Open, Scheffler returned to the top of the OWGR standings - leapfrogging Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland.
The former University of Texas student will now be looking to consolidate his spot at the top by winning the Genesis Invitational title.
Quotes
“Yeah, I think today was probably a pretty good example of that. I hit some wild shots off the tee that were pretty uncharacteristic for how I usually shape the ball," Scheffler said after winning the 2023 WM Phoenix Open.
"I was just able to grind it out, make a lot of putts,"I love the environment here. It's a lot of fun to play. I think the firmness of the golf course really suits me. Having the ability to play a lot of different shots. Hit it high, hit it low.
“The wind this week brought a new challenge that we hadn't had around this golf course since I've been playing this tournament,” he added, “so it was definitely a good challenge and was a fun week.”
