Scheffler did win on his first start of 2026, at The American Express. However, the world number one has not been at his very best for much of the year.
Since Scheffler’s victory at La Quinta, Rory McIlroy has won The Masters, Matt Fitzpatrick has secured three titles, and Young is now on course for his second significant win of the season. Johnson Wagner says whether Cameron Young or Scottie Scheffler is the better golfer right now The 28-year-old edged out Fitzpatrick to clinch The Players Championship crown. And he goes into the final round of the Cadillac Championship with a six-shot lead over the field.
Scheffler is one of those within the chasing pack. He will join his Ryder Cup teammate in the final group on Sunday at Doral. However, the last round has the potential to be a procession.
Nevertheless, Johnson Wagner has told Scorecard on CBS Sports that he would push back on the idea that Young is a better golfer than Scheffler right now.

He played with Matt Fitzpatrick the first two days, didn’t in the third round, played his way into the final group on Sunday and then forced his way into a playoff. It’s eerily similar. Cam Young and Scottie played Thursday, Friday together, didn’t play together today obviously.
