Jordan Spieth on different page to Scottie Scheffler as Rory McIlroy admission made

Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler enter the PGA Championship as top contenders, yet their motivations differ. While Spieth draws inspiration from Rory McIlroy’s recent Grand Slam victory, Scheffler remains internally driven, focusing solely on his own journey and goals.

Spieth, 31, admitted McIlroy’s Masters win reignited his desire for a PGA title, a trophy that has long eluded him. In contrast, Scheffler, 28, said he respects others’ achievements but chooses to stay present, not distracted by career milestones or comparisons.

Still recovering from wrist surgery, Spieth acknowledged that witnessing others succeed is both motivational and frustrating. As he pushes through challenges, the PGA Championship remains his top priority, with renewed hope for major success after a decade-long wait.
