I've been noodling a little theory about Scottie Scheffler and the "boring" allegations levelled at him.
Open to interpretation, of course, but let's say you were to create a highlights reel for him and compare it to one for Tiger.
Tiger's best bits usually followed poor / terrible shots.
Nobody considers that the chip-in at XX at Augusta in '05 came from missing it in the wrong spot, or that his bunker shot at the Canadian Open in 2000 came from a poor shot before. Tiger's highlights are generally insane recoveries.
But Scheffler (generally) doesn't make many mistakes. A highlights reel of a guy sticking it to inside eight feet from the middle of the fairway time and time again is (rightly or wrongly) a hard sell.
He's just a spectacularly consistent player. Does that make him boring? That's up to you, I suppose.
