Formula 1 championship contender Lando Norris has expressed his support for golfer Scottie Scheffler following Scheffler’s notable remarks at The Open Championship, where he secured a comfortable victory at Royal Portrush, triumphing over Harris English by four strokes.
Scheffler, now a four-time Major winner with 22 professional tournament victories, has been a dominant force in golf since his breakout year in 2022. Currently holding the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking for 150 consecutive weeks, Scheffler’s success has drawn comparisons to golf legend Tiger Woods.
At 29 years old, Scheffler ranks fourth in all-time PGA Tour earnings, amassing £67,725,863 solely from prize money. Despite his achievements, Scheffler openly expressed a sense of emptiness during a press briefing at The Open, reflecting on the transient nature of victory and the continuous cycle of competition.
Norris, a McLaren racer and avid golfer, resonated with Scheffler’s sentiments. Reflecting on his own experience after winning the British Grand Prix, Norris praised Scheffler’s honesty and individual approach to success, applauding his high performance level akin to Tiger Woods.
The Formula 1 enthusiast commended Scheffler for his authenticity and shared his admiration for the golfer’s candid views, emphasizing the importance of respecting diverse paths to achievement. Norris found Scheffler’s perspective fascinating and appreciated his openness about the complexities of success in professional sports.
