Scottie Scheffler’s dominant start to the season continued on golf’s grandest stage, as the 27-year-old captured his 2nd Green Jacket in 3 years with a dominant back-nine helping him pull away from the field for a four-stroke victory. This was Scheffler’s third win of the season, with victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players already under his belt.

Even before his win at Augusta, Scheffler was already off to one of the more dominant starts to a season we’ve seen in some time. He became the first player to ever successfully defend their title at The Players Championship, and he did that a week after his victory at The Arnold Palmer Invitational. He followed those two wins up with a runner-up finish at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, and then his next start, you guessed it, The Masters. That’s 3 wins in four starts with loaded fields, and his only non-win during this span is a runner-up finish! Add in the fact that Scheffler has 8 top-10 finishes in 9 starts this season, which includes 6 Top-5 finishes, and those three victories, and we are witnessing perhaps the most dominant stretch in golf since prime Tiger Woods. 

With his newfound confidence on the greens to go along with his best-in-the-world ball-striking, Scheffler’s dominance may continue for quite some time. His winning bag hasn’t changed since that victory at the API, and as long as he continues to play like he is, don’t expect any changes within the bag for the best player in the world.

Scottie leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained Off the Tee and his TaylorMade Qi10 driver shined again on golf's biggest stage. Scheffler finished 7th in Average Driving Distance and 13th in Driving Accuracy, helping him finish 2nd in the field in Strokes Gained Off the Tee. Augusta National is often considered a second-shot golf course due to the green complexes, but what good is a second shot if you don’t put yourself in position to attack off the tee, and that’s exactly what Scheffler did.

Scheffler plays his TaylorMade Qi10 driver at a measured 8.25 degrees with a Ventus Black 7X shaft in it. He uses the Standard Upright Loft (1.5 degree) sleeve and plays the driver at 45". Scheffler uses a Golf Pride Tour Velvet 58 Rib for the grip with 6 wraps and a swingweight of D4.

Fairway Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 (3-Wood)

For his fairway wood, Scheffler matches his driver with a TaylorMade Qi10. It may not stand out among his better shots of the tournament, but in Sunday’s final round, Scheffler was +1 for the day after a bogey on the par 4 7th hole and wasn’t striking the ball like he typically does. Then came the Par 5 8th, where Scheffler found the fairway off the tee, and then just hit his 2nd shot with his 3-wood over the green, but in a position where he could get up and down. The chip and putt were probably better overall shots, but that fairway wood was well-struck, and perhaps helped regain his confidence in his ball-striking as he his birdie on 8 was the first of 3 straight that helped him take the solo lead.

Scottie plays his TaylorMade Qi10 3-Wood at 14.75 degrees, with a lie angle of 58.25 degrees. He uses a Ventus Black 8X shaft at a cut length of 42 5/16 inches and a tipping length of 1.5 inches. He uses the same Tour Velvet 58 Rib grip as his driver, and uses 6 wraps of double sided tape, creating a 3-wood with a swingweight of D3.

Irons: Srixon ZU85 (3,4), TaylorMade P7TW (5-PW)

Scheffler’s ball-striking ability is always mentioned as to what makes him great, and his irons are one of the catalysts of that ability. Scheffler leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained Approach to Green, and in the least shocking news you’ve heard, was one of the top iron players at Augusta. He finished the tournament 7th in Greens in Regulation percentage, hitting 64 percent of the greens, 7 percent better than the field average. That helped him to a 14th-place finish in Strokes Gained Approach to Green. One of the best shots he hit all week happened in the third round on the 13th hole. A day after going into the water on his 2nd shot, Scheffler showed no signs of fear, using one of his Srixon ZU85’s to find the green in two, and set up his only eagle of the week.

For his TaylorMade P7TW Irons, Scheffler has Dynamic Gold X100 shafts in all of them. His irons are 1 degree stronger than standard, with his 5-iron having 26 degrees of loft rather than 27, and every other iron from there moving up in 4 degree increments. His 7-iron has a cut length of 37 1/8 inches, which is a touch longer than standard,  and it has 63 degrees of loft, which is 1.5 degrees upright from standard.

Like his irons, Scheffler’s wedge play is typically brilliant. Whether from approach or near the green, he’s usually one of the best in the world with a wedge in his hand and was outstanding at Augusta. They contributed to his Strokes Gained Approach number, him leading the field in Strokes Gained Tee to Green, and his 7th place finish in GIR percentage. His wedges also provided the shot of the tournament, or at least one of them with his 2nd shot on 9 on Sunday, where he was inches away from holing out for eagle, which seemed to catapult his round. His wedge play was also outstanding around the green, where he led the field in Strokes Gained. Scheffler had 38 scramble opportunities and converted 25 of them, which was 7th best in the tournament.

One of the prevailing themes heading into Augusta, and really this entire golf season, was if Scottie can just finish middle of the pack in putting, he’ll likely win due to his exceptional ball-striking. Scottie was better than just middle of the pack this week, finishing 22nd in Strokes Gained Putting, which included a 14th-place finish in Strokes Gained Putting in the final round, his best-putting performance of the week. From his eagle on 13 in the 3rd round, or his clutch pars he made throughout the week, Scheffler’s putting provided plenty of fireworks, and for his standards, avoided some major misses.

Scottie switched the TaylorMade Spider Tour X just before his win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He plays it at 35.5" with an L-Neck hosel, ideal for a player with a slight arc in their putting stroke. His Spider Tour X Putter has a lie angle of 72 degrees with 3 degrees of loft. For his sight line on his  Spider Tour X, Scheffler uses the True Path with Full Line, and then has a Surlyn Pure Roll insert in the putter. He uses a Golf Pride Pistol grip for his Spider Tour X.
