Scottie Scheffler gets 'Scottie Style' burger at Hilton Head Island restaurant as RBC champ
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Another week, another burger for Scottie Scheffler.
A week ago, at the 89th Masters, Scheffler served sliders 'Scottie Style' as one of his starters at the Champions Dinner. As the defending champion of this week's RBC Heritage, Scheffler has designed a hamburger of his choosing that is being added to the menu of Fraser's Tavern at Sea Pines Resort. It's a new tradition, in only its second year, following after the custom-design burger crafted by 2023 RBC Heritage champ Matt Fitzpatrick.
'We thought it would be a fun way to connect each year's defending champion with our dining guests at Fraser's Tavern,' said Ben Harris, resort executive chef at the Sea Pines Resort. 'The Heritage Classic Foundation was excited about the concept and is very much behind it.'
According to a release from the resort, more than 4,400 'defending champion burgers' have been served as Fraser's Tavern since being added to the menu and the burger, which costs $19.95, includes a dollar donation to the tournament charity.
Scheffler went with the same blend of rib, brisket and chuck for the patty, a hearth-based sesame bun and crispy bacon 'but in a nod to his tangy Texas taste buds,' the release said, this version of 'Scottie Style' featured pepper jack cheese, fried jalapenos and onion straws, topped off with Old Bay aioli.
Scheffler was presented with his burger at the end of his pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday after he hit the 'Cannon Shot' drive as part of the tournament's opening ceremony. Scheffler took one look at his burger and said, 'I'm hungry.' He took a big bite and proceeded to gobble much of it up after finding it to his liking.

Justin Thomas Sends Strong Message About Scottie Scheffler Ahead of U.S. Open
Justin Thomas Sends Strong Message About Scottie Scheffler Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The third major of the year is set to begin on Thursday, and with players already arriving at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, media duties have begun for many on the PGA Tour. Advertisement One player who spoke to the media was Justin Thomas, who has put together a solid 2025 campaign so far and will look to find success on the challenging Oakmont course. His best finish at the U.S. Open came in 2020, when he tied for eighth place. Thomas ended his winless drought since 2022 with a victory at the RBC Heritage in April. Despite that, he remains ranked No. 5 in the world. This week, he was asked a simple question about World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has been dominant over the past two months on Tour and Thomas had a clear and in depth answer. Thomas was asked, 'What is Scottie Scheffler doing that is so special? What do you say?' Advertisement 'What is he doing?' Thomas replied. 'Well, everything.'

Every single aspect of his game is unbelievable. I think his mental game is better than anybody else's out here. To be able to play with those expectations and to stay present as often as he has—to me, that's maybe more impressive than even the golf he's playing. 'I just think it's so, so hard to do, and it's also hard to explain if you're in his shoes. He just doesn't make mistakes and almost lets himself be in contention rather than forcing it. He just seems to be playing better.' Scottie Scheffler has been the most dominant golfer in the world by a wide margin over the past two to three years. In a sport where consistency is notoriously difficult to maintain week to week, he has managed to do exactly that. Advertisement Scheffler has already recorded four PGA Tour wins this year, including a major victory at the PGA Championship. Remarkably, he has not missed a cut since 2022—his streak now stands at 56 consecutive events. He also enters the U.S. Open with seven straight top-10 finishes. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Scheffler is the clear favorite heading into the U.S. Open—a tournament he has yet to win. Trailing him on the odds board are defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy.

Scottie Scheffler Has No Doubt Naming Hardest PGA Tour Course Before U.S. Open
Scottie Scheffler Has No Doubt Naming Hardest PGA Tour Course Before U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The top players in the world have arrived at Oakmont this week ahead of day one of the U.S. Open, which begins Thursday and marks the third major of the year on the PGA Tour. Advertisement One thing has been made clear over the first two days of practice: the course is brutally difficult—especially when players find themselves in the rough. Several stars, including Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton, and Scottie Scheffler, have all commented on how thick and punishing the grass is around the greens. On Tuesday, Scheffler had zero doubt in calling Oakmont the hardest course he—and likely anyone else in the field—will ever play. "I kind of equate some of the major tests to... I mean, like the majors in tennis—you're playing on different surfaces: grass, clay, and then hard court—and it's a different style of game," Scheffler said. "The U.S. Open compared to the Masters is a completely different type of test. At the Masters, you have a lot more shot-making when you get around the green because it's mostly fairway. "And then when you get here, it's a lot of hacking out of the rough. You still have to be extremely precise, but when you talk about strength and power, I think that becomes more of a factor at these tournaments. Because when you hit it in the rough, you have to muscle it out of there." Scheffler added, "I mean, this is probably the hardest golf course that we'll play—maybe ever." Scheffler has had another remarkable year and is the undisputed world No. 1. After a historic 2024 campaign, he may not quite match that pace, but he's still on track for another legendary run in 2025. Advertisement He already has four tournament victories this season, including his first PGA Championship title—which marked his third career major win. Two of those three major victories have come at the Masters. The U.S. Open and The Open Championship are the final two tournaments Scheffler needs to win in order to complete the career Grand Slam—a feat Rory McIlroy accomplished earlier this year after winning at Augusta, becoming just the sixth player in history to do so. Scottie Scheffler addresses the crowd after winning the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday golf Doster-Imagn Images Scheffler skipped the RBC Canadian Open this past week to get in extra preparation for Oakmont, where the conditions could lead to some high scores. It wouldn't be surprising if only a handful of players finish at or just under par heading into Sunday.

US Open Course Renovations Expected To Give Former Champion Major Advantage
US Open Course Renovations Expected To Give Former Champion Major Advantage originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As part of a recent renovation led by architect Gil Hanse, Oakmont Country Club, home of the 2025 U.S. Open golf championship, has introduced a significant change to its 10th hole ahead of the tournament. With the action set to begin Thursday, there is now a ravine that cuts through the fairway. Advertisement Previously, players could hit a driver or a fairway wood and let the ball run downhill toward the green. With the new ravine placed approximately 320 yards from the tee, that strategy is no longer as straightforward, according to Golf Digest's Jamie Kennedy. Players preparing for the 2025 U.S. Open have mostly opted for conservative approaches. On Monday, Scottie Scheffler hit a fairway wood and came up just short of the ravine, landing around 300 yards. From there, he missed the fairway right and faced what looked to be a 7-iron into the green. The new setup introduces a clear choice: lay up short of the ravine or attempt to carry it. Advertisement One player has already tested the aggressive option, giving him a major advantage coming in. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, currently the longest driver in professional golf with a 331.9-yard average on LIV Golf, shared a recent practice round at Oakmont on his YouTube channel, starting on the 10th hole and hitting driver.

Though he missed the fairway, his drive left just 115 yards to the hole. The 31-year-old then hit a sand wedge to make birdie. The act drew reactions across the field. 'I didn't even know that was possible,' said Justin Thomas in his press conference. Advertisement When asked whether he plans to play short of the ravine or carry it with a three-wood, Xander Schauffele immediately referenced Bryson DeChambeau by name, responding: "Oh, the ravine? Oh, no, no. I mean, I think Bryson's probably the only person that would think twice about carrying it," Schauffele said. "It, it might just be an iron from off the tee." The recent renovations present a new obstacle on the already notoriously difficult U.S. Open course, making players' decisions something to keep an eye on this week.
