Scottie Scheffler Makes Major Career Decision Before U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler is taking a week off before the U.S. Open, which begins June 12. The star lifted his third trophy in 30 days, including the Wanamaker at the PGA Championship and will want to maintain this winning momentum to add another major cup to his cabinet. Advertisement Scheffler opted to skip the RBC Canadian Open this week with the U.S. Open fast approaching. This is not stopping the golfer from making plans for future tournaments. The World No. 1 has also decided to join the field of golfers for next month's Genesis Scottish Open. The tournament's official account posted on X on Friday: "The best player in the world returns to the Renaissance Club! Scottie Scheffler joins an already star-studded field at this year's #GenesisScottishOpen!⛳️" Scheffler will be joining a list that includes additional big names like Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas.

In addition to his recent hot streak on the course, Scheffler was officially selected to Team USA for the Ryder Cup on Wednesday. Advertisement At the U.S. Open, Scheffler will face Bryson DeChambeau, who came very close to winning the PGA Championship before trailing off during the final round. DeChambeau is the defending champion and has expressed his eagerness to win it back‑to‑back trophies. "I'm always chasing history," DeChambeau told reporters on Wednesday. "Everybody is. We're all trying to accomplish feats that haven't been done in a long time. "And going back to back would be great. Three in a row would be an even better accomplishment. So it is in the back of my head." On Friday, DeChambeau will tee off at the LIV Golf Virginia, hoping to secure one last win before the major.

No, Scottie Scheffler Is Not Playing in the Canadian Open This Week
No, Scottie Scheffler Is Not Playing in the Canadian Open This Week originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Golf fans hoping to watch Scottie Scheffler this week will be disappointed as the star opted to skip the RBC Canadian Open. The wait will not last long as Scheffler will be looking to win his second straight major at the U.S. Open in the coming days. Advertisement Scheffler and an impressive field of golfers will tee off from Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa., on June 12. The RBC Canadian Open is not without stars as Rory McIlroy headlines the field of golfers with Scheffler choosing to skip the event. It is unclear exactly why Scheffler opted not to play in the RBC Canadian Open. With the U.S. Open less than one week away, it would make sense if Scheffler preferred to prepare for the major with some extra days of rest. Scottie Scheffler looks at the trophy on hole No. 18 after the final round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Course on Sunday, June 1, 2025 in Dublin, Madar/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Scheffler is coming off a win at the Memorial and also secured a win at the PGA Championship, the last major tournament. The star golfer may not be competing this week but is already committing to future events. The Scottish Open announced on Friday that Scheffler will be part of the star-studded field for the tournament that tees off on July 9. Scheffler believes playing in the Memorial will serve as great preparation for the U.S. Open at Oakmont. "Well, this golf course, like Oakmont, I think this is a place where if there's a weakness in your game, this golf course is going expose it pretty quick," Scheffler told reporters on Sunday after winning the Memorial. "It's a challenging week and this is always a good barometer of where you're at playing because, I mean, each day on the course -- I think the first two days you had guys shoot 65. I think the best round on Saturday was 66 and the best round today was 65. Advertisement "... That's what I think is great about this golf course, is there's opportunity and there's good difficulty. As far as prep work for the U.S. Open, I mean, like you said, the rough's going to be pretty similar and I think it's great prep."

Outside projected cutline, Rory McIlroy makes a quadruple bogey at RBC Canadian Open
Outside projected cutline, Rory McIlroy makes a quadruple bogey at RBC Canadian Open Rory McIlroy came into 2025 RBC Canadian Open after a week off. Word came out that he made a switch with his TaylorMade driver before starting the week at TPC Toronto. He also spent a good chunk of his pre-tournament news conference discussing a failed driver test at the PGA Championship. During Thursday's first round, when nearly 100 golfers were under par late in the day, McIlroy was spinning his wheels before signing for a 1-over 71. Friday wasn't much better. After four straight pars, McIlroy made a mess of the par-4 fifth hole, needing eight shots to find the cup. His second shot went OB deep, his fourth was deep as well. All in all, not what the 2019 and 2022 Canadian Open champ needed in his quest to make the cut in the last tournament before next week's U.S. Open.
