The resolution honors Dallas resident Scottie Scheffler for his remarkable achievements in golf during 2024 and 2025. Notably, he won the 2024 Masters Tournament, secured a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, and triumphed at the 2025 PGA Championship. His performance at the Masters was particularly impressive, as he rallied from a lower position to clinch victory with a final score of 11-under-par, making him one of the youngest players to win two Masters titles. Additionally, Scheffler made history by becoming the first golfer to win the Players, Masters, and Tour Championships in the same season, and he achieved a total of seven tour victories in 2024.
The resolution further highlights Scheffler's early accomplishments, including three state golf titles in high school and accolades during his collegiate career at The University of Texas at Austin. As a distinguished golfer on the PGA Tour, Scheffler's achievements have solidified his status in the sport, and the Texas House of Representatives extends its congratulations and best wishes for his future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for him as a token of high regard from the legislature.
