Legacy? Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler are comfortable leaving that for another day | Analysis

At a pre-tournament press conference ahead of the 154th British Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler both downplayed the importance of legacy and historical standing in their motivations. McIlroy, the back-to-back Masters champion and joint-favorite at the event, bluntly stated he does not care about his legacy, while Scheffler similarly said he does not play for a place in history. The candid remarks came during preview media day ahead of the major championship.
