H.R. No. 1361 is a resolution congratulating Dallas resident Scottie Scheffler for his remarkable achievements in golf during 2024 and 2025. Scheffler's accomplishments include winning the 2024 Masters Tournament, earning a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, and securing the 2025 PGA Championship. Notably, he became the fifth player to win two Masters titles before the age of 28 and made history by winning the Players, Masters, and Tour Championships in the same season. His impressive performance at the Olympics included a record-tying final round, leading to Team USA's third individual gold medal in men's golf.
The resolution highlights Scheffler's early success, including three state golf titles in high school and accolades during his collegiate career at The University of Texas at Austin. It acknowledges his status as one of the premier golfers on the PGA Tour and expresses the Texas House of Representatives' best wishes for his future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for Scheffler as a token of high regard from the legislature.
