It’s been going on three years now that Scottie Scheffler has made golf look really easy, even when it can be really hard. The latest example came Friday and involved one of the game’s most picturesque holes, the par-5 18th at Pebble Beach.

Following on from Rory McIlroy's heroics in the opening round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Scottie Scheffler was involved in an amusing exchange with his rival during an interaction with fans

At BetMGM, Scheffler opened at 5-1 to win the Pro-Am and his odds have not only held steady but attracted a ton of action. The sportsbook notes that Scheffler accounted for 20.5 percent of all outright winner wagers on Wednesday, as well as 29.3 percent of the total handle on that market.

After recovering from a freak injury suffered during the holidays, Scottie Scheffler is back on tour and ready to hopefully have a good showing this weekend. The world No. 1 might be a little rusty after so much time off, but whenever the big man is on the course, Scheffler is always a contender.

After a freak accident in the kitchen kept him out of the first few PGA Tour events of 2025, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is set to return this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Scheffler went from the hill right of the 10th fairway at Spyglass to a front bunker, blasted out some 20 feet and missed his par putt. That was his only bogey, though he was 1 over until lacing the fairway metal to 30 feet for two-putt birdie on the par-5 14th, just as McIlroy on the hole next to him plucked his ball from the cup.

Scheffler had to find his ball and then hit from the rocky sand on the par-5 18th hole Friday at Pebble Beach.
