Dominating in one sport, no matter what it was, is very challenging nowadays. The competition is fierce, there are more and more athletes and it is getting harder to reach the top.
Scottie Scheffler seems to be the first name after Tiger Woods to show dominance in golf, winning two Majors this year, but being equally dominant last season.
In an interview with the media, the 29-year-old often emphasizes that the biggest credit for his success goes to his family.
However, Scheffler surprised many at the last press conference, where he pointed out that his family is his priority, and that playing golf is not a priority for him.
"That's why I talk about family being my priority because it really is. ... Because I'd much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer. At the end of the day, that's what's more important to me."- Scottie said.
Tom Brady reacts
While his statements caused positive emotions among golf fans, there are also those who are not quite delighted with the statements of the 29-year-old golfer.
Tom Brady, the legend of American football, had an interesting reaction to Scheffler's statements, a bit confused why Scottie excludes golf and family, considering that they can go together.
Brady drew a parallel between Scottie's career and his own, stressing that through playing sports he was also an example for children and family.
Brady believes that by playing American football and making sacrifices to make his career, he was also making a sacrifice for his family. Tom wanted to show his family by his example how much he fights for them, but also show them what discipline, work and passion for a sport can bring.
Brady does not want sports and family to be mutually exclusive, combining one with the other, and at the same time emphasizing that this combination can be a win-win for one person.
