Scottie Scheffler has lost his way on the golf course. He is struggling to score under par. For the third straight round, the world #1 has had a score of even par or worse. And it’s having a major impact on his form. Interestingly, Brandel Chamblee may have figured out exactly what’s wrong with Scheffler’s game recently.

Speaking about his swing, Chamblee said, “I don’t even recognize this golf swing from Scottie Scheffler. It’s a foot-and-a-half shorter than last year, and the face is wide open.”

In the video attached to the tweet shared by the Golf Channel, you can notice Scheffler’s swing in the practice zone. As the expert analyst pointed out, the face of his driver was open and way across the line. Had he swung down on it from the same angle, then he would have barely caught the ball.

A lot would also depend on Scheffler’s positioning in this case. He would be able to generate more power and strike the ball better if he were standing closer. But Chamblee stated that this is not a huge issue, but a minor adjustment.

“This is not a crisis, this is a bump in the road,” the Golf Channel analyst confirmed.

Interestingly, Scheffler’s drop in form also mirrors his poor driving accuracy. While launching accurate tee shots was never his forte, he was still finding the fairways less often when he finished below the top-10.

Until the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2026, he consistently averaged above 60% in driving accuracy. That was when he was still finishing inside the top-4. However, his T12 finish in the Genesis Invitational was also accompanied by a 57.14% accuracy off the tee. It dropped even further to 53.57% in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he finished at T24. After one round of action at TPC Sawgrass, Scheffler has only found the fairway 50% of the time. And he is placed at T40 for it.

In fact, Scheffler himself admitted that he hasn’t been finding his swing off the tee recently. Let’s see what he had to say.

Scottie Scheffler admits issues with his driver

Despite winning a PGA Tour title already in 2026, Scottie Scheffler is struggling to have an impact this year. Everyone was surprised to learn that he’s ranked 88th on the Tour in terms of strokes gained on approach shots. But his driving is putting him at a disadvantageous position on the course often.

In fact, Scheffler also spoke about how he has been struggling with adapting to the new driver in his bag. He is shuffling between the TaylorMade Qi10 and the newer Qi4D. And the world #1 expressed his concerns about the same recently.

“I don’t think I had enough trust in what the driver was doing compared to where it was last week. I think it can be tough, sometimes you kind of block that stuff out. But I have seen some improvements in the new driver. It’s just I haven’t been able to trust in all the different shots that I hit, especially off the tee,” he told James Tait from Bunkered.

It seems Scheffler is in two minds about which driver to go with. He played with the Qi4D for four tournaments. However, he has switched back to the Qi10 for the PLAYERS Championship. So far, it hasn’t helped him much. It will be interesting to see what approach he takes next.
