Do you remember the sight of Scottie Scheffler standing on the green in previous seasons, where even a one-meter putt became a challenge? I have followed him since his early days on the PGA Tour, and there was one statistic that always bothered me: before 2026, Scheffler had three of his first four full seasons ranked outside the top 100 in Strokes Gained: Putting, with a low of 162nd in 2026-2026. As a data-driven analyst, I could not understand how such a complete golfer could be so weak on the greens. But then things changed. In the 2026 season, he switched to a mallet putter and began working with coach Phil Kenyon. The result? From 77th in 2026, Scheffler climbed to 22nd in 2026 and currently stands 6th this season. The story is not just about technique; it is a lesson in how a top athlete identifies a chronic weakness and solves it systematically.
