Scottie Scheffler is one of the best golfers on the planet and, dating back to last year, has been on a historic run. 

Yet, success from winning golf tournaments is not what "satisfies" him.

Scheffler, 29, is a three-time major champion as he has won the Masters twice and the PGA Championship this year. He will look to inch closer to the career grand slam at The Open this week at Royal Portrush. 

The 16-time PGA Tour winner has been the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer for over 100 weeks, yet his dominance on the course is not what is "fulfilling" to him.

"There’s a lot of people that make it to what they thought was going to fulfill them in life, and you get there, you get to No. 1 in the world, and they’re like, what’s the point?" Scheffler said at a press conference on Tuesday.

"I really do believe that, because what is the point? Why do I want to win this tournament so bad? That’s something that I wrestle with on a daily basis. It’s like showing up at the Masters every year. It’s like, ‘Why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the Open Championship so badly?’

"I don’t know because, if I win, it’s going to be awesome for two minutes. Then we’re going to get to the next week, ‘Hey, you won two majors this year; how important is it for you to win the FedExCup playoffs?’ And we’re back here again."
