Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1 golfer, recently made waves with his humorous off-season routine that involves a combination of church and NFL football. In a candid conversation on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take podcast, Scheffler shared his typical Sunday ritual, which struck a chord with both fans and the podcast hosts.
He explained that his Sundays are filled with attending church, placing bets, and then sitting back to enjoy NFL games—an unexpected mix of faith and football that amused many listeners.
The hosts of the podcast couldn’t help but laugh at Scheffler’s routine, especially when he mentioned watching analyst Stu Feiner on Sports Advisors before heading to church. Scheffler’s relaxed and relatable approach to his off-season Sundays was a hit, adding a lighthearted touch to his already impressive persona. This routine comes right after he clinched the 2024 TOUR Championship, making him one of the top golfers of the season, and also just before the start of the new NFL season.
Stu Feiner, a well-known sports betting analyst, was delighted by the golfer’s mention of him. Feiner, who has been a staple in the sports betting world since the 1980s, responded on social media, expressing his gratitude. Feiner shared his excitement on X (formerly known as Twitter), saying he felt “honored” and that it was a significant moment for him to hear such praise from Scheffler. The interaction added an extra layer of humor and camaraderie between the sports worlds of golf and football.
As the NFL season kicks off, Scheffler’s responsibilities are far from over. He will be joining the U.S. team at the Presidents Cup in Montreal later this month. After an incredible 2024 season, which included wins at the Masters, the Players Championship, and a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Scheffler’s lighthearted off-season ritual offers a refreshing glimpse into how he balances his competitive spirit with moments of relaxation.
