Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious at the 2024 Masters Tournament, becoming one of only 17 golfers to earn the title twice in their careers. Scheffler’s impressive win made him the fourth-youngest golfer to claim multiple green jackets, following legends like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Seve Ballesteros. He finished the tournament at 11-under, winning by four strokes.
Debutant Ludvig Åberg finished second at 7-under, while Max Homa, Collin Morikawa, and Tommy Fleetwood tied for third at 4-under. Scheffler was the betting favorite at +400 odds, and his victory marked three wins in his last four events and his second major victory in his previous three trips to Augusta.
The week was not without drama, as Scheffler’s wife was unable to join him due to her late-stage pregnancy. Despite this, Scheffler remained focused and gained over four strokes on the field, showcasing his dominant form this season.
With the win, Scheffler earned 100 world ranking points, 600 FedEx Cup points, his second green jacket, and $3.6 million in prize money. The final day of the Masters saw Scheffler maintain his lead over competitors like Morikawa and Homa, ultimately securing his second Masters victory with a remarkable display of skill and composure on the course.
