He has added another winner's trophy to his collection. This is already his sixth this year. On the 23rd (local time), at the TPC River Highlands (par 70, 6,835 yards) in Cromwell, Connecticut, USA, the final round of the prestigious PGA Tour event, the Travelers Championship (total prize money $20 million), Scheffler shot 5-under par to tie with Kim Joo-hyung at 22-under par 258. Then, on the first hole of the sudden-death playoff at the 18th hole (par 4), he secured the winning par.

Scheffler earned his sixth victory of the season and 12th career win just two weeks after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on the 9th. The winner's prize money was $3.6 million (approximately 5 billion KRW). He is leading all categories including world ranking, number of wins, earnings ($27,696,858), FedEx Cup points (5,768), and scoring average (68.48). It is the “Scheffler era.”

He showcased a flawless performance on the final day of the Travelers Championship, making four birdies without a single bogey. His scrambling ability was perfect at 100%, saving par or better whenever he missed the green. His shot accuracy stood out over the four days, with a fairway hit rate of 82.46% (3rd place) and a greens in regulation rate of 89.04% (2nd place). He remained steady and overwhelmed his competitors in the race for the title.

Scheffler conquered the field using a combination of products from three brands. He carried the TaylorMade Qi10 (8 degrees) driver, known for its excellent forgiveness. His irons were the Srixon ZU85 (#3-4) and TaylorMade P7TW (#5-PW). For his short game, he added Titleist Vokey Design SM8 wedges (50, 56 degrees) and Vokey Design WedgeWorks Proto (60 degrees), demonstrating a perfect short game.
