Formula 1 championship contender Lando Norris has expressed his support for golfer Scottie Scheffler following Scheffler’s noteworthy remarks made during The Open Championship last weekend. Scheffler claimed victory at Royal Portrush, triumphing by four strokes over his closest rival, Harris English, marking his fourth Major win and 22nd professional tournament victory.
At 29 years old, Scheffler ranks fourth in all-time PGA Tour earnings, having amassed £67,725,863 solely from prize money throughout his career. His exceptional success has drawn comparisons to golf legend Tiger Woods. Despite his achievements, Scheffler openly admitted to feeling a sense of emptiness during a press interaction at The Open.
Reflecting on Scheffler’s comments, Norris, a McLaren driver and avid golfer, resonated with Scheffler’s sentiments. Norris commended Scheffler for his candidness and honesty about his aspirations and feelings, drawing parallels to his own experiences after winning the British Grand Prix recently. The Brit acknowledged Scheffler’s high level of performance akin to Woods and appreciated his authenticity in expressing personal views.
Norris emphasized the importance of respecting Scheffler’s individual approach to achieving success, noting the significance of his openness amidst his remarkable accomplishments. The McLaren racer praised Scheffler’s honesty and high-level performance in the golfing world, showcasing support for both Scheffler and fellow golfer Rory McIlroy.
