Golf champion Scottie Scheffler says Jesus is ‘what defines him most’ and that he just wants to ‘glorify God’.
The American world number one shot an impressive four under par 68 to win the Masters title at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA, at 11 under, winning what some argue is golf’s biggest tournament for the second time in three years. Asked during the tournament about what defines him, while the 27-year-old acknowledged that golf can be a ‘selfish’ sport, he said: ‘Hopefully [golf] doesn’t define me too much. It’s just something that I do, but it doesn’t define me as a person. ‘I am a faithful guy. I believe in a Creator. I believe in Jesus. Ultimately, I think that’s what defines me the most. I feel like I’ve been given a platform to compete and show my talent.
‘I think what defines me the most is my faith. I believe in one Creator, and I’ve been called to come out here [and] do my best to compete and glorify God. That’s pretty much it.’
