Scottie Scheffler, the #1 golfer in the world, just opened up in a rare, vulnerable moment at the British Open press conference. He shared how, even after winning major titles, he still felt unfulfilled.
We break down what Scheffler said about identity, purpose, and faith, and how it resonates far beyond the world of sports.
