Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer on the planet right now, and he has been for quite some time in fairness.<\/p>\n

Jordan Spieth certainly isn\u2019t the only golfer to have fallen way behind the levels that Scheffler has been consistently producing.<\/p>\n

However, Scheffler\u2019s dominance may be hurting Spieth more so than it has other players.<\/p>\n

Jordan Spieth<\/a> was the man in Dallas, Texas, a decade ago. He was the sports star who everyone wanted to be associated with after he tucked away three major championships before his 24th birthday.<\/p>\n

However, the now 33-year-old\u2019s form fell off a cliff not long after that, and Scottie Scheffler<\/a> is the new sheriff in town, not only in Dallas, but worldwide.<\/p>\n

Spieth and Scheffler play plenty of golf together<\/a> away from the PGA Tour, so the three-time major champion gets a close-up view of the world number one\u2019s brilliance on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler claimed to be causing Jordan Spieth a big issue<\/p>\n

Colt Knost has broached the idea that Scheffler\u2019s rise to fame is something that could be bothering Spieth.<\/p>\n

He floated the theory while speaking on the Sub Par Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, Jordan Spieth\u2019s got all the money in the world. He is set. He\u2019s got a great family,\u201c Knost said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he was the man in Dallas, Texas, which is a great sports city, as you know.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the man. Now, there\u2019s a new sheriff in town, and that\u2019s Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think that\u2019s affected him at all?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just saying, like, look, I mean, everywhere he showed up in Dallas, whether it was a sporting event, dinner, or going to play golf. He was the man. He drew all the eyeballs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he still does a lot, but now it\u2019s Scottie Scheffler. They play a lot of golf together at home, and I have a feeling I know how those matches go. Like they do with everybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be a little tough. Like, \u2018God, I was the man. I was the one everybody wanted to come to their events and be around\u2019.<\/p>\n

They still want Jordan, but Scottie\u2019s just at a whole other level right now, and I just was curious if maybe mentally or anything, it\u2019s affected him at all.\u201c<\/p>\n

Jordan Spieth urged to make some big changes<\/p>\n

Knost highlighted how Spieth may need to make some changes to his team moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got so much offense. It\u2019s just, all hell breaks loose sometimes out there. He makes so many big numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a tournament this year, I mean, like, he led in birdies for the week, and he finished, like, 23rd or something like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I love his team. I love everyone around Jordan, but he has been in a funk for quite some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I know he had the injury. And that was a big part of it, but eventually, something\u2019s got to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gotta mix something up here and at least get maybe, like, a second look and just get this ball-striking back to what it used to be, because it\u2019s a big problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I know he hit the cart path, but he hit it out of bounds on the first hole at the Wyndham Championship.\u201c<\/p>\n
