Note: If you are a Normal Club member, I included the link to our $2,500 Open Championship fantasy contest after the paywall break below.
I have a very specific routine on Wednesday of the Open Championship.
Noon — Self talk: “Really this year is going to be the year I’m asleep by 8 p.m.”
3 p.m. — “But you know maybe I should just try and stay up until 1 a.m.”
8:30 p.m. — Head to bed.
9:40 p.m. — Polish off my third consecutive Chronicles of a Champion Golfer episode.
9:40-10:30 p.m. — Consider changing my pick.
10-10:30 p.m. — “What am I going to write if Daniel Von Tonder wins?”
11 p.m. — Fall asleep.
3 a.m. — Alarm goes off, panic that I’ve missed Sandy Lyle’s first eight holes.
Every year.
Sandy Lyle isn’t even in the field anymore!
Today’s newsletter is presented by OGIO.
We’re not in Northern Ireland for the 153rd Open Championship, but if we were, I’d be loaded up with OGIO travel gear. They recently hooked me up with this Alpha Venture Backpack, and I’m a massive fan.
I am unfortunately familiar with the phrase “I‘m in my pocket,” and OGIO gives you plenty of opportunities to be in your pocket with 17 of them and plenty of room for my gear and even clothes for a quick one- or two-nighter. As versatile of a backpack as I’ve ever owned, and I could not recommend more highly.
OK, now onto the news.
We need this + Scottie ending pressers with “And that’s the bottom line ‘cause Scottie said so.”
1. One of my friends texted this week and said that sometimes it feels like Scottie says things specifically so I will have stuff to write about to keep this venture going and food on my family’s table. After his five-minute soliloquy on golf and life at Portrush on Tuesday, I would have to agree that this is sometimes exactly what it feels like.
I linked to part of the video where he got existentially steep, so you can watch it for yourself if you want.
There was critique of Scottie’s words, which I understand because the following statements seem to be at odds with each other.
Statement 1: It brings tears to my eyes just to think about because I've literally worked my entire life to be good at this sport. To have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think, is a pretty cool feeling.
Statement 2: This is not a fulfilling life.
Those statements are at odds with each other. And so if his speech is viewed as a declaration then it is unintelligible. But it wasn’t a declaration. It was simply him thinking out loud and inviting everyone else into the way he views the world.
And it is that specific worldview — some of which he articulated, some of which he did not — that I would like to explore a bit more in the first part of this newsletter.
2. It seems that Scottie has figured out at a young age what it takes most of us several decades to reconcile, which is that delight rooted in external accomplishment, achievement or accumulation is sand.
You chase it, believing it to be sturdy and solid, and then you hold it and it slithers through your fingers and you can’t find the granules you once held so dear and chased with so much unadulterated ambition.
This is also called happiness.
Good and celebratory but also slippery and vaporous. It will not be clutched.
3. Earlier this week, I stumbled into a great little essay by Oliver Burkeman, who wrote the excellent book, Four Thousand Weeks. Here’s what he wrote about productivity (which is just another name for achievement).
Most productivity advice … promises ways to help you take so much action, so efficiently, that you might one day get to feel good about yourself at last.
Which isn’t going to work – because the real problem isn’t that you haven’t yet done enough things, or got good enough at doing them.
The real problem is the fact that for whatever combination of reasons in your childhood, culture or genes, your sense of self-worth and psychological safety got tethered to your productivity or accomplishments in the first place.
Oliver Burkeman
Whatever combination of reasons = the human condition. We are all wired this way.
Theologian Tim Keller writes about this same thing from a different perspective in his excellent book, Every Good Endeavor, which is specifically about work and life.
When we work, we want to make an impact. That can mean getting personal recognition for our work, or making a difference in our field, or doing something to make the world a better place. Nothing is more satisfying than a sense that through our work we have accomplished some lasting achievement.
But the Philosopher [in Ecclesiastes] startles us by arguing that even if you are one of the few people who breaks through and accomplishes all you hope for, it’s all for nothing, for in the end there are no lasting achievements.
Every Good Endeavor
4. While Scottie does not state it explicitly, the implication here is that what actually does satisfy the deepest desires of our hearts cannot be found externally but for him is found in his faith in Jesus. He has talked about all of this before.
This was right after he won the 2024 Masters.
I was sitting around with my buddies this morning, I was a bit overwhelmed, I told them, I wish I didn't want to win as badly as did I or as badly as I do. I think it would make the mornings easier.
But I love winning. I hate losing. I really do. And when you're here in the biggest moments, when I'm sitting there with the lead on Sunday, I really, really want to win badly. And my buddies told me this morning, my victory was secure [by Jesus] on the cross. And that's a pretty special feeling to know that I'm secure for forever and it doesn't matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament.
My identity is secure forever.
Scottie Scheffler | 2024 Masters
5. The obvious question that everyone should be asking (and even Scottie was asking) is … why do any of this at all? If none of it matters, why do it? Why put yourself through the agony of practice and losing and frustration?
That's something that I wrestle with on a daily basis. It's like showing up at the Masters every year; it's like, Why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win The Open Championship so badly? I don't know because, if I win, it's going to be awesome for two minutes.
Scottie Scheffler
Why put yourself in position to do this week after week after week?
I think there are two reasons.
The first is that he was given all the gifts.
It would be inadvisable and perhaps even borderline inexcusable to kick them away. Doing what you were made to do is a tremendous (and mostly modern) privilege, one that Keller has referenced as the “ministry of competence.”
Humans reflecting God’s creativity by being great at golf sounds completely absurd, but I actually think it’s aspirational.
It goes deeper, too. There’s a great verse in Ecclesiastes that gets at this.
Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.
Better one handful with tranquility
than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.Ecclesiastes 4:5-6
What this means is that we were not made to sit around or to “fold our hands.” We were also not meant to conquer the world or to go for “two handfuls” (make an idol out of work). What Scottie is battling to find on a day to day basis, is that middle phrase: Better one handful with tranquility. Balance.
Here’s Keller again.
[Ecclesiastes] concedes that satisfaction in work in a fallen world is always a miraculous gift of God — and yet we have have a responsibility to pursue this gift through a particular balance. Tranquility without toil will not bring us satisfaction; neither will toil without tranquility. There will be both toil and tranquility.
Every Good Endeavor
6. The second reason to work, to do any of this at all, is a reference to one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible.
Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.
Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
It is a good gift to enjoy one’s work. A far greater gift than making a lot of money or winning a lot of tournaments. You spend eight hours a day, 50 weeks a year, 50 years of your life toiling. And like .000001 percent of that winning tournaments and maybe up to 2 percent of that time enjoying your money.
Truly delighting in your craft is actually a far bigger blessing than the resulting outcomes, no matter how grand they might be.
[Jason here]: This makes me think of Jeff Daniels talking about how the time spent driving kids to and from sports was why you do it. Not the sport itself. [Jason out]
7. I have seen all of this — Scottie’s entire speech — called nihilism in more than one place. This is no nihilism, though. Not at all.
Rather, it’s faithfulness. Maybe some contradictory thoughts, but faithfulness nonetheless.
It’s no big secret that I’m a Christian. I’ve been plenty public about that. I would love to hear Scottie fill in some gaps when he’s talking, but in the meantime, it’s a joy (a position of privilege) to try and reconcile some of what he's touching on.
I battled the words and the quotes and the ideas all day on Tuesday as I prepped this newsletter. I don’t know if I got it all right, but I certainly tried because it’s important. And I left my backyard office late in the day — too late probably — thinking, Man, I love doing this. It’s the best. There’s no other intersection at which I want to exist.
8. My only hope is that something landed, something caught in you that made you think, Oh, yeah this is true and this is right. This is the most fulfilling path. This is the way forward.
Because Scottie touched on a truth that undergirds the very foundation of the universe.
And the cool part from where I’m sitting is that he is literally one of the five most dominant athletes on the planet right now. The reason for that is, I believe, in part because of the balance between toil and tranquility he constantly seeks.
And maybe the even better part is that I believe you and I can relate to that. We’ll never shoot 66 at ANGC and win a Masters, but finding the middle of toil and tranquility? That’s a never-ending pursuit for me. One I have to reflect on and pray toward constantly.
All of this, I admit, is difficult to receive and reconcile, but I find this verse from Matthew 7 to be of great encouragement when it comes to reconciling difficult things: “The gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
It’s supposed to be difficult. It’s supposed to sometimes not make sense. Because if it was easy and all of it made sense, then we would not have to trust God with the parts that make us say — like Scottie said on Tuesday — “I just don’t know.”

9. I put a poll up on Twitter on Tuesday about whether it was more difficult to win a golf major or a tennis major. The overwhelming winner is … golf.
This surprises me a bit, although I think it’s probably because most people think in superstar. Not a typo. What I mean by that is that most people look at it from the perspective of Rory or Scottie or Federer or Alcaraz.
In those instances, yes, tennis is much easier because you only have to defeat seven other people, and five of them are probably significantly worse than you.
In golf, you can be a star and play the tournament of your life and still lose.
But if you’re not a top five player, tennis is much more difficult to win because you are probably going to have to figure out how to defeat Sinner and Alcaraz one on one — when they control both sides of the equation — which is far tougher than beating Rory and Scottie, who aren’t playing specifically against you.
Why is it tougher? Math. The Professor (Kevin Moore) pointed me toward this clip of a mathematician talking about how well tennis rewards marginal advantages across a tournament. The implication is that it does this far more than golf does.
Anyway, I’m surprised (though I shouldn’t be) at how definitive the answers are in the comments here.
10. Last week, Jason asked me for my best and worst case scenarios as it relates to who wins this Open Championship. So here’s an off-the-top-of-my-head power ranking of winners that fit into a specific category.
As always, this is just my personal list, you will not (and should not) agree with all of it.
We’ll break this into two parts, starting with the most specific ones.
1. Rory wins at home: More on Rory below, but honestly the 11-year drought would have been more than worth it if it was capped by the Masters and a Portrush Open in the span of three months.
2. Scottie ascends the all time rankings: If Scottie wins this week, I think we’re getting into top 20 all time territory. That would be 17 PGA Tour wins and four majors before turning 30. The list of guys who have done that is not long.
For reference, here is PGA Tour wins through first 150 starts where …
Scottie = red
Rory = blue
Phil = purple
Sick stuff.
3. Tommy’s redemption: This works a number of ways. A rebound from that nightmare at the Travelers. A bounce back from not being able to chase down Lowry in 2019 at this venue. Just a general exhale from so many years of struggle at the biggest events.
4. Spieth gets to four: Spieth bounding into Northern Ireland, all out of sorts, ducks in 27 different rows, winning The Open by four would be 👌👌👌.
It’s not going to happen, but … what if it did?
Nobody’s been better over the last 10 years at this tournament.
By the way, I think we might be dialed.
5. The old lions: Justin Rose, Sergio, things of that nature. Adam Scott. I guess Phil would be in this group. Rose was so easy to root for last year before Xander shredded the rest of the field, and I would be way into it.
This championship seems to mean more than the U.S. Open and PGA Championship to international players like Rose and Scott, and one of them winning it would be awesome.
6. A multi-time champ levels up: Rahm, Morikawa, Bryson, JT, Xander, Brooks. That crew. Three is much different than two and six is much different than five. I think, in most cases, every major win changes how we think about that player more than the one before it.
11. OK, here’s part two as we start to widen the categories a bit.
7. Young-ish medium-to-big name without one: Ludvig, Viktor, Bob Mac, Sam Burns, Min Woo, Akshay, one of the Hojgaards: This category is surprisingly smaller than it normally is, and to be honest, Bob Mac is probably in a category by himself.
8. Lowry repeats: It doesn’t top my list, but it would be very, very cool. And if you haven’t read this piece by Dylan Dethier on the 2019 champ, you should.
9. The Ryder Cup controversy: I’m thinking Keegan, Pat Reed or somebody like Denny McCarthy. Discourse for days.
10. The no-name: I’m not talking about your Max Greysermans. I’m talking about somebody nobody has ever heard of. There are 17 players ranked outside the top 1,000 in the world playing this week, including a handful of amateurs. No. 1,741 Curtis Knipes holding off Morikawa and Scheffler is what I’m talking about.
11. The “good career but no majors” picks one off: A big bucket. Alex Noren, Rickie, Russ Henley, Harris English, Finau, you could feasibly throw a lot of guys in here. This is the Darren Clarke category.
12. The no-name career grinder picks one off: Dan Brown winning The Open sounds great … until Dan Brown wins The Open.
13. Everyone else: Davis Riley, Lucas Herbert, Stephan Jaeger, throw ‘em all in the same bucket. It’s a big bucket.
In other words, don’t talk to me until I’ve had my c̶o̶f̶f̶e̶e̶ Open Radio.
12. Speaking of existential crises, it was good to see Rory back to his old self on Monday. He had basically zero juice between the Masters and end of the U.S. Open, and that’s not really unrelated to everything about Scottie above.
I was a fool to not see that coming. The talk of his freedom leading to two or three (!) majors this year was silly because of course he was going to feel empty and hollow and melancholy after touching off the only thing he ever wanted.
Yeah, I think everyone could see over the last couple of months how I struggled with that. I've done something that I've told everyone that I wanted to do, but then it's like I still feel like I have a lot more to give.
It hasn't taken me that long. [It’s been] 10 weeks or whatever it is, it hasn't been that long. I've alluded to this, but I probably just didn't give myself enough time to let it all sink in. But that's the nature of professional golf. They do a very good job of keeping you on the hamster wheel, and you feel like it's hard to get off at times.
Rory McIlroy
Staring the emptiness of accomplishment in the face — especially after a decade — is far more difficult than staring the emptiness of failure in the face. This is so counterintuitive, but I think it’s probably true. Because you expect to feel empty after losses. But you never expect to feel empty after doing the only thing you ever wanted to do.
I have no idea how Rory felt on a scale of 1 to Duval asking “is this all there is?” But I have to imagine it was closer to the latter than the former. This is the endless cycle of pro golf at the level Rory exists at, which is why it would probably be of benefit to him to watch and internalize that Scottie presser.
13. The pick. I can’t get Jon Rahm out of my head, and I now think this is going to be a through line meme of the week.
Like, I think there’s going to be a lot of this.
Rahm has been extraordinary at Opens of late and is playing underrated major championship golf right now. In the last four majors, three golfers have averaged 2.5 SG/round or better (min. 8 rounds).
Scottie: 3.5 SG (of course)
Xander: 3.1
Rahm: 2.7.
The next closest is Patrick Reed at 2.2.
Oh man, what if Reed wins The Open?
