The $110,000,000-worth Scheffler (via Celebrity Net Worth) started his Moving Day possibly listening to some music as he arrived at Quail Hollow on Saturday as he sported Apple plug-in headphones (available for $19 on the company’s website).
Scottie Scheffler started his campaign at the PGA Championship on a high note. On Thursday (May 15), he shot one eagle, four birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey to score 2-under 69.
In Round 2, his performance further improved as he hit four birdies and one bogey to finish at 3-under 68 on the 71-par course.
“Who knows how much? I really don’t know” – Scottie Scheffler on conditions of the fairways in the coming days

Charlotte had experienced heavy rainfall in the days leading up to the PGA Championship this week. That obviously affected the course conditions.
Golfers complained about mud balls and the lack of preferred lies in the opening round. After his Round 2, Scottie Scheffler was asked if the course was firm and if it was, how much. The press also asked him whether it could get firm after the downpour.
Scheffler believed the greens would get firmer in the coming days. He answered via ASAP Sports:
“The greens will definitely get very firm. They’re going to firm up a lot over the next couple days. I think we’re supposed to get a little bit of wind tomorrow. I’d be surprised if they throw too much water on them,”
The world’s top ranked golfer also talked about what the conditions of the fairways would be in the upcoming rounds.
“The fairways, I mean, they maybe will firm up a little bit, but we’ll see. To be honest with you, I’m not really — I mean, yeah, they’ll firm up a little bit. Who knows how much? I really don’t know.”
Round 3 of the PGA Championship was briefly delayed on Saturday (May 17) due to dangerous weather condtions in the area. This prompted the organizers to conduct the penultimate round in groups of three instead of pairs.
Scheffler has been paired with Si Woo Kim and Max Homa for Round 3. The trio teed off at 1:44 pm ET from Tee 1.
