What an intense spectacle the 2026 PGA Championship is delivering, and amidst the chaos, even a Scottie Scheffler struggles with his putter. The man who usually sets the greens on fire had to admit after his third round of 71 that his main problem all week was his putter. The leaderboard was so tight, it felt like "anyone's tournament" – and that's exactly what made life difficult for Scheffler.
A Battle for Every Putt
It was a real challenge to pull away from the field, as the pin positions were anything but generous. Scheffler struggled to sink enough putts that would truly have propelled him to the top. This shows: Even among the best of the best, small details on the green can make the difference between a Major win and a "what if...".
The drama was palpable, as every shot counted until the very last second. Even with the lead tightly contested, it needed that one magical moment on the green to break away. Scheffler, known for his mental fortitude, simply couldn't find that extra precision with his putter this week.
Scheffler Doesn't Give Up
Despite all the frustration with his putter, Scheffler was fully in contention until the very end. He was still very much in the fight for the title at the 2026 PGA Championship, proving that his overall game is truly strong, even when one area isn't clicking. One can assume that the putter will be the first thing on his practice schedule after this Major showdown.
