AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Sports often produce some of the best underdog stories. We
gravitate to them with ease and cherish them while they last. But the
not-so-secret truth about it all is that nothing beats the innate desire to
watch and witness greatness.

The nature of golf's individuality facilitates this narrative. One player is
responsible for every shot and the weight of every miss and make falls on his or
her shoulders. This only serves to enhance the peaks and the valleys the best
golfers in the world will inevitably go through. But once in a while, a figure
arrives who seems to transcend the see-saw nature of sports and produce a
dominance that leaves fans and peers in awe.

After winning his second Masters in three years at just 27 years old on Sunday
-- his ninth career tournament win and third this year -- Scottie Scheffler has
established himself as the sport's dominant force. The fact that it was widely
expected only makes the accomplishment that much more impressive and cements
Scheffler as someone the sport hasn't had in a while: a Goliath.

Scheffler's second Masters win puts him in elite company: Tiger Woods is the
only other player who has won multiple majors as World No. 1. Michael Madrid/USA
TODAY Sports

"I think his superpower is people that are super powerful are good at
everything," Scheffler's caddie, Ted Scott, said. "And he seems to be good at
everything. He doesn't really have a weakness."

A lot has changed since Scheffler won his first Masters in 2022. He's older, is
sporting a full beard and is about to be a father. On the golf course, however,
he has only gotten better.

"I feel like I'm playing really good golf right now. I feel like I'm in control
of my emotions as I've ever been, which is a good place to be," Scheffler said.
"I feel like I'm maturing as a person on the golf course, which is a good place
to be."

Before this tournament began, Scheffler's inevitability could only be discussed
in theory. His dominance had manifested itself in both statistics and results,
but players of his caliber are measured by majors and being the outright
favorite earned Scheffler nothing but high expectations.

For three days, Scheffler showcased every part of his complete game --
consistent driving, improved putting, historic ballstriking and underrated short
game. But it wasn't until Scheffler's ninth hole on Sunday, that the feeling of
inevitability crystallized into reality.

He was only up by 1 stroke on Ludvig Åberg as he surveyed his short approach
shot from the fairway. His long limbs swung over his head as he struck the ball,
a snapshot of the fact that whatever grace the aesthetics of Scheffler's swing
may be lacking are made up by the sheer precision it produces. The ball landed
on the green, spun back onto the perfect slope and nearly went in the hole.

After watching Scheffler nearly hole out for eagle and leave himself a tap-in
birdie so short he didn't even remove his glove, the inevitable chants from the
patrons at Augusta National Golf Club began.

"Scottie! Scottie! Scottie!"

The walk from the ninth green to the 10th tee carried with it an energy that
Augusta National hadn't had just yet. As patrons said out loud, "It's over!" and
"He's going to win!" what was in the air wasn't just an inevitability for how
the rest of the day would unfold; it was the realization that those on the
grounds were witnessing greatness.

From there, every blade of grass Scheffler's shuffling feet touched from tee to
the green all the way up the 18th fairway, was accompanied by a serenade of
cheers that recognized the magnitude of the moment. Any desire for a thrilling
finish gave way to a coronation.

"I tried to soak in stuff around me today," Scheffler said. "I looked up at the
trees at times. I looked up at the fans occasionally to try to soak in some of
their energy. But did not ever let myself get attached to the lead. I just tried
to keep pushing."

driving, improved putting, historic ballstriking and underrated short

As his competitors crumbled around him, putting balls into the water on 11 or
long of the green on 12, Scheffler's steadiness never faltered. And once he made
the turn, he only accelerated, making five birdies on the second nine and
leaving everyone behind. It was a performance that acted as a reminder and a
warning: This is the best player in the world and he could be just getting
started.

"I'm just pinching myself honestly. I don't really know what I'm seeing," Scott
said. "The guy is special. He's a different kind of special. I think we're all
seeing it, and we're all questioning, 'Where did this come from?' When he called
me, I had no idea he was that good."

Scheffler is not your typical dominant figure. He speaks softly and walks
calmly. He talks about his faith as much as his game and believes in only
controlling what he can control. He's not afraid to be vulnerable and share a
time when he was stressed or emotional. But Scheffler's seeming affability often
camouflages the hyper-competitive mentality that lies beneath the surface.

"I was sitting around with my buddies this morning, I was a bit overwhelmed,"
Scheffler said. "I told them, I wish I didn't want to win as badly as I do. I
think it would make the mornings easier. But I love winning. I hate losing. I
really do."

Life is about to change for Scheffler and his mornings are about to get much
harder. His wife, Meredith, is expecting their first child and he's fully aware
that golf will take a back seat. But that doesn't mean he won't keep trying to
win every time he tees it up.

"Golf will probably now be fourth in line," Scheffler said of his priorities.
"But I still love competing and I don't plan on taking my eye off the ball
anytime soon."

The sport has never been as deep and talented in its history as it is at this
moment and yet Scheffler feels so far and away the best player in the world that
peers trying to beat him can't help but want to draft off his greatness.

"To have someone beside you that has a great attitude and sort of does
everything the right way, it's nice to try to feed off that," World No. 2 Rory
McIlroy said of playing with Scheffler the first two rounds. "Scottie does such
a good job of -- it doesn't look like it's 6-under par, and then at the end of
the day it's 6-under par. He's just so efficient with everything."

When Scheffler made that walk from the ninth to the 10th hole Sunday, McIlroy,
happened to be coming up 18. After starting the week playing with the eventual
champion, McIlroy would finish 4-over for the tournament -- 15 shots behind
Scheffler.

"He doesn't really have a weakness," caddie Ted Scott says of Scheffler's
game. Michael Madrid-USA TODAY Sports


Scheffler returned to Butler Cabin for the third time in three years on Sunday,
and this time it was last year's winner, Jon Rahm, who had to place the jacket
on Scheffler's shoulders. Not too long ago, Rahm was considered to be
Scheffler's equal, fighting for the sport's top spot with Scheffler. Now, Rahm
has left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf and watched as Scheffler has won the
tournaments he once wanted. This week, the Spaniard finished 20 shots behind
Scheffler, whose second Masters win puts him in elite company: Tiger Woods is
the only other player who has won multiple majors as World No. 1.

If it wasn't the case before, Sunday's victory further sets the stage for the
sport's future. Every player, whether on the PGA Tour or LIV Golf, is chasing
the seemingly unflappable Scheffler, who may be the closest thing the sport has
had since Woods.

Scheffler's win gives golf not only a far-and-away favorite at every event, but
also two compelling chases: everyone else's quest to beat him and Scheffler's
quest for more.

"He makes us better," the runner-up, Aberg said. "He makes you want to beat
him."

As the sun washed over the 18th green Sunday while an impassioned Scheffler
celebrated, his 6-foot-3 frame created its own long Augusta shadow. After this
week, that is where every other professional golfer resides.
