He\u2019s driven the same car for years, he enjoys an evening in with watching The Office and eating Chipotle with his wife, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/tour-news\/scottie-scheffler-wife-meredith-scudder\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Meredith<\/a>, and the life of being a super famous, super wealthy athlete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/majors\/the-open-championship\/scottie-scheffler-lack-of-fulfilment-ahead-of-royal-portrush\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">isn\u2019t what drives him<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So perhaps his latest attempt to convince everyone he is one of us \u2013 this time at the FedEx St Jude Championship \u2013 should come as little surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI use the same divot tool and ball marker most days, so a little \u2018stitious,\u201d he said, referencing a joke from his favorite show in which the lead character, Michael Scott, says \u201cI\u2019m not superstitious \u2013 but I am a little \u2018stitious.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler also noted that he has the same yardage book cover he\u2019s had for the last four years, too. \u201cJust habit,\u201d he explained. \u201cNo reason to it. I like it. \u201cIt\u2019s a good size, it\u2019s got \u2018USA\u2019 on it. I think it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was then asked about his divot tool.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, it\u2019s from Cypress Point,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just the right size and it\u2019s metal. They don\u2019t really make those types of divot tools anymore, so I found one there and I\u2019ve stuck with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, this is Scheffler. So that\u2019s never quite the end of the tale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bought one last year or maybe two years ago, and I lost it at some point,\u201d he explained. \u201cI literally could not find another divot tool like that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I went on eBay, found a Cypress Point ball marker, paid like 50 bucks for it. Then I went back this year, and they were a little cheaper onsite so I got a couple extras.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re smirking while reading that last quote, it\u2019s because you\u2019re thinking the same thing as the rest of us. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve done the math. With his PGA Tour career earnings alone, Scheffler could buy almost 2 million divot tools at $50 a pop.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not even the best part. Scheffler uses his real name on the auction site. Imagine being that seller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe sent it to me and wrote me a little note and everything,\u201d Scheffler added. \u201cHe was a nice guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler will head into the final round of the FedEx St Jude Championship \u2013 the first of the PGA Tour\u2019s three post-season playoffs \u2013 two shots back of leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/general-news\/tommy-fleetwood-break-100-left-handed-challenge\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tommy Fleetwood<\/a> at TPC Southwind.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tAbout the author<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/author\/alex-perry\/\" rel=\"author nofollow noopener\" class=\"about-author__image-link\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Alex Perry\" class=\"about-author__author-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1754823428_418_alex_profile_photo.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News editor and writer.
