Let’s talk about the big ones. The 2026 Masters is next month. Scottie is the defending champion. The betting odds have him at +400. That’s insane. That means every bookie in Vegas is basically saying, “Yeah, he’s probably going to win again, sorry not sorry.”
2026 Open Championship money: How much every player made
If he wins the Masters? That’s four wins before May. We’d have to create a new word for that. Maybe “Scottiefying.” As in, “I just Scottiefied my weekend by winning every hole.” It’s plausible. He’s that good at putting right now. His putting stroke looks like it’s been polished with a diamond cloth.
But… Can He Keep This Up?
Look, the Tour is deep. Kids are hitting it a mile. But here’s the thing: Scottie doesn’t just win. He dominates the mental game. He never panics. Even when he hits a bad shot, he just looks at the ground, shrugs, and then drains a 30-footer for par. It’s honestly a little rude to the other players.
I saw a stat last week: he’s gained over 1.5 strokes on the field per round in his last 10 starts. That’s like LeBron James playing against a high school team. It’s almost unfair. Almost. I love watching it.
