Scottie Scheffler hopes he finishes the week with a text from a certain someone.<\/p>\n
The World No. 1 golfer revealed on Tuesday at his Ryder Cup press conference that he hears via from President Donald Trump after wins.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get a call or text from him sometimes after wins,\u201d Scheffler said Tuesday. \u201cThe President is kind of funny. He loves the game of golf.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump is scheduled to attend the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. on Friday, and he\u2019ll get a firsthand glimpse of Scheffler and his Team USA cohorts taking on Team Europe in the biennial international competition.<\/p>\n
The President famously gave Team USA a pep talk over the phone for the NHL\u2019s Four Nations Cup earlier this year, though Scheffler was unsure if captain Keegan Bradley\u2019s squad will get the same treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s one of those guys when you\u2019re around him he does such a good job of feeding confidence into everybody around him. I don\u2019t think he has any plans to address us as a team,\u201d Scheffler said, \u201cbut I\u2019m sure if things go well, we\u2019ll hear from him this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scheffler, who has won six PGA events this year, including the PGA Championship and the British Open, leads a team that also includes Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Harris English, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Russell Henley and JJ Spaun.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
