Brandel Chamblee makes case for Scottie Scheffler to be named as the PGA Tour Player of the Year

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee is making the case for Scottie Scheffler to be named PGA Tour Player of the Year for the 2026 season, despite Scheffler having won only once and failing to claim a major title so far this year. Chamblee's argument comes amid what has been described as a strange and relatively underwhelming season by Scheffler's typically high standards. The piece, published on August 4, 2026, suggests Scheffler's overall consistency and performance metrics still make him a leading candidate for the award.
