Scottie Scheffler might not be the biggest draw in golf but he's the center of attention at every major. The world's No. 1 player is a heavy favorite again going into the British Open at Royal Troon. Scheffler says he never sought this kind of attention. He only wants to play good golf and it's taken him to the top.

Scottie Scheffler of the United States looks at his club on the practice range ahead of the British Open Golf Championships at Royal Troon golf club in Troon, Scotland, Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
His six PGA Tour victories before the calendar turned to July are the most since Arnold Palmer in 1962. Someone pointed out to Scheffler that Palmer’s seventh victory that year was a claret jug he won at Royal Troon.Tiger Woods says even champions miss putts. Rory McIlroy gets the message at British OpenHe wasn’t sure how to react to that except to shrug his shoulders and say, “Yeah, that would be great.
Most peculiar about Troon is that the outward nine — typically with at least a wee breeze at the players’ back — has two par 5s and measures 3,539 yards. The inward nine with the wind in the face has one par 5 and is 3,846 yards. Players also are preparing for weather described as “mixed,” a gentle way of saying it probably won’t be terribly pleasant for most of the week. Sunshine gave way to spells of rain on Tuesday, and that was before lunch was served.
