Scottie Scheffler (born June 21, 1996) is an American professional golfer, who currently plays on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Scheffler was born in Dallas, Texas, played golf at Highland Park High School and later played college golf at the University of Texas from 2014-2018, where he helped the team win three Big 12 championships and was named Phil Mickelson Freshman of the Year in 2015. Scottie was also part of the US Team that won the 2017 Walker Cup.

In 2016, Scheffler qualified for his first U.S. Open. He opened with a first round 69, but would shoot a second round 78 to miss the cut by one stroke. Again in 2017, Scheffler qualified for the U.S. Open after surviving a 4-for-3 playoff to earn a spot in the field. He and Cameron Champ were the only two amateurs to make the cut at the 2017 U.S. Open. Scheffler finished as low amateur at 1-under-par, one stroke ahead of Champ.

Scheffler earned his 2019 Web.com Tour card through qualifying school.

On May 26, 2019, Scheffler fired a bogey-free, 9-under 63 — playing the back nine in 30 — to force a playoff with 54-hole leader Marcelo Rozo in the Evans Scholars Invitational. He then birdied the second extra hole for his first Web.com Tour victory.
