WITB Scottie Scheffler: The Players Championship

Scottie Scheffler relied on his TaylorMade golf clubs to become the first player in history to successfully defend The Players Championship.

The 27-year-old American overturned a five-stroke deficit at the start of the final round into a narrow one-shot win over three players. 

Scheffler has now won back-to-back titles on the PGA Tour having picked up his first win of the season at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he also successfully defend.

The TaylorMade staffer once again put on a ball striking clinic throughout the week, carding rounds of 67, 69, 68 and 64. 

Scheffler's driving and iron play have been consistently the best on the PGA Tour for quite some time now, and he yet again finished the week ranked 1st for strokes gained total (17.126) and strokes gained off the tee (6.429). 

While Scheffler's ball striking has been consistently imperious, his putting over the last year has been cause for serious concern. 

In an attempt to solve his woes with the flat stick, Scheffler switched out his Logan Olson prototype blade putter at Bay Hill earlier this month for a more forgiving TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet. 

The change has worked wonders, with Scheffler ranking fifth for strokes gained putting at Bay Hill and then 37th at Sawgrass.

Scheffler incredibly went 17-for-17 on putts inside 15-feet in the final round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and he took that improved form into the PGA Tour's unofficial fifth major of the season at The Players Championship. 

Elsewhere in his bag, Scheffler has opted to put the new TaylorMade Qi10 driver and 3-wood in the bag this season, with some additional inclusions from both Srixon and Titleist
