It\u2019s an unlikely twist in what has already been a dream year for the runaway World No.1, who has completely dominated the PGA Tour<\/a> with six victories, including two major titles at the PGA Championship and The Open.<\/p>\n Scheffler now sits one leg shy of the career Grand Slam, a feat only six players in history have achieved, one of which includes Rory McIlroy<\/a> who entered the club at The Masters in April. The American’s first chance will come at the US Open in July 2026, which conveniently falls on his 30th birthday.<\/p>\n But while most players in Scheffler’s shoes would have their feet up enjoying their off-season, the four-time major champion has this week found success on a completely different stage \u2014 the ocean.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Scheffler’s Lone Stars team reeled in victory at the SFC\u2019s grand finale in Mexico after landing a blue marlin, the most valuable fish in the league\u2019s points system, with just 90 minutes left on the clock. The catch proved decisive, sealing the title for the Texas-based squad.<\/p>\n The win marked a proud moment for Scheffler, who became the sole owner of the Lone Stars just over a year ago, quietly joining the booming world of celebrity sports investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n The SFC, an upstart saltwater fishing league, has attracted big names from across the sporting world \u2014 from NFL greats Randy Moss and Raheem Mostert to LIV Golf stars Talor Gooch and Harold Varner, who co-own the Mississippi Blues Angling Club.<\/p>\n SFC lead commentator Robbie Floyd couldn\u2019t resist the golf connection as the final results came in.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n “Scottie Scheffler, congratulations \u2014 you\u2019ve got another title in 2025,” Floyd said during the broadcast.<\/p>\n Co-commentator Peter Miller followed up with a tongue-in-cheek jab: “I wonder if Scottie\u2019s ever kissed the crystal? I know he\u2019s kissed a lot of cups, but maybe not the crystal!”<\/p>\n That crystal refers to the league\u2019s distinctive marlin-shaped trophy \u2014 one now destined to join Scheffler\u2019s rapidly growing collection of silverware.<\/p>\n Scheffler himself kept things humble when he congratulated his team on Instagram: “Congratulations to @lonestarsac \u2013 thanks for having me out.”<\/p>\n He followed it up with a statement praising the team\u2019s effort and resilience: “I could not be more proud of the club for winning the season championship in our inaugural year. It\u2019s a testament to their talent and determination to overcome a tough start. There\u2019s no \u2018quit\u2019 in this team.”<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n On social media, veteran CBS golf reporter Amanda\u202fBalionis<\/a> amused her followers by reposting the victory with: “I have no idea what half of these words mean but I do know Scottie won something again.”<\/p>\n Amanda Balionis has reacted to Scheffler’s fishing win<\/p>\n The SFC, which will expand from 14 to 16 teams next season, has quickly become one of the most talked-about new leagues in North America. It mixes traditional sport fishing with a team format, scoring system and TV-friendly presentation that has turned casual spectators into fans.<\/p>\n Scheffler is also part of a wider trend among athletes diversifying into sports ownership. Beyond fishing, he also owns a stake in the Texas Ranchers, one of the leading franchises in Major League Pickleball. His PGA Tour peers Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth famously invested in Leeds United Football Club not so long ago, while Gooch has gone a step further by backing a professional bull-riding franchise in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all part of Scheffler\u2019s growing off-course portfolio \u2014 but make no mistake, golf remains his main focus.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Scheffler last in action at the Ryder Cup<\/p>\n Scheffler will next tee it up one final time this year at Tiger Woods<\/a>\u2019 Hero World Challenge in early December, where he\u2019ll look to make more history by becoming the first player ever to win the tournament three years in a row.<\/p>\n Given the way his 2025 has gone, you wouldn\u2019t bet against him, especially given he will start a red-hot favourite at Albany in The Bahamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Amanda](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/scottie122222.jpg\")
