World No. 1
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER
4x Major Championships, Olympic Gold Medal, 20 PGA Tour wins and counting — Scottie Scheffler is the most dominant golfer on the planet today. Two green jackets. World No. 1 since 2022. The kind of consistency that doesn’t happen by accident — and doesn’t come from talent alone.
“They don’t see the behind-the-scenes work: early mornings, late nights, and everything I do at home to compete on Sundays.”
What people see on Sundays is the result. What they don’t see is where it starts: early mornings, the early work before every round, and corrective work after his son goes to bed. The same routine, every day. No shortcuts.
The Work Behind The Wins
Scottie didn’t take strength training seriously until he turned pro. In college, it wasn’t a priority — he’d always been active, always in decent shape. But competing in 25 to 30 events a year, traveling constantly, grinding through four-day tournaments week after week? That’s a different demand.
By 2021, he was good enough to be on the leaderboard every week. But he wasn’t built to stay there.
The turning point:
After losing in the finals of the 2021 WGC Match Play, Scottie told his trainer Troy Van Biezen that he was exhausted — he didn’t have the endurance to finish the week the way he started it.
That offseason, they got serious.
In 2022, Scottie returned to the WGC Match Play. Same stage. Same pressure. But this time, he felt completely different at the end of the week.
He won.
“I truly saw the benefits of training. People don’t see the early mornings, the gym work, or the 30–45 minute warmups I do every day to prepare.”
Physical transformation:
Working with Van Biezen, Scottie reshaped his body into functional, athletic muscle — not to look different, but to move different. To feel the same on Sunday's 18th as on Thursday's first tee.
Within weeks of deploying the new program, he won the WM Phoenix Open. By the end of March, he was World No. 1 — and he's barely looked back since.

His philosophy. His regimen. His equipment.
BUILT FOR SUNDAYS
Training the movement, not just the muscle
The Training Philosophy
Scottie doesn't train to build size. He trains to reinforce the movement patterns his swing depends on — so when he's on the course, he doesn't have to think about it.
"If I've continued training and maintained proper movement, my swing feels consistent even after a break. But if I take a week off, my swing feels different when I return. That's why reinforcing movement patterns and staying in the gym is so important."
In the offseason, Scottie trains four times a week with a strength focus — building the foundation. In season, it shifts to three times a week, centered on movement — maintaining the patterns that keep his swing where it needs to be.
His program is built on four pillars: strength, explosiveness, metabolic conditioning, and mobility. Every session ties back to how he moves on the course.
It starts and ends the same way
The Daily Work
Scottie's day starts and ends the same way. Cold tub in the morning. Stretching and corrective exercises after his son goes to bed. Before every round, a 30 to 45 minute warmup. There are no days off from the routine. No shortcuts.
"I don't really know where it begins or ends. Each morning, I start with a cold tub for recovery. Before bed, after putting Bennett down, I stretch and do corrective exercises."
The consistency is the point. If he skips the prep work, he feels it immediately — especially in his first few swings.
"If I skip my prep work, I feel it immediately, especially during my first few swings."
In golf, every detail counts. Training is no different.
The Equipment
Scottie obsesses over his equipment on the course — the shaft flex, the clubhead weight, the grip texture. Fractions of a degree and grams of mass that affect every swing.
The gym is no different. The tools he trains with need to perform the same way, every time — tight weight tolerances, ergonomic grips engineered for consistent control, built to last through thousands of reps.
"Knowing I've done what's necessary in the gym makes me feel ready when I step on the first tee."
