Key Points:

Rory McIlroy dismissed his chances of winning the 2026 Player of the Year, stating that Scottie Scheffler is the clear favorite following Scheffler's dominant eight-shot victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
McIlroy, who finished 66th at the event, expressed admiration for Scheffler's exceptional putting, joking that if Scheffler continues to gain nine strokes on the greens weekly, other players are in trouble.
Scheffler's win at the St. Jude Championship marked his 21st PGA Tour victory and second title of the year, boosting his career earnings to over $119 million, nearing Tiger Woods' all-time record.
This season, Scheffler has also been runner-up at the Masters and secured top-five finishes at the U.S. Open and Open Championship, along with a T-14 at the PGA Championship.
