WIth the PGA Tour season coming to a close, Scheffler was asked about his hobbies while not competing. The 30-year-old revealed that list of extracurricular activites has dwindled since having kids.

"I felt like before I had kids, before we had kids, I got really into like pickleball at one point," Scheffler told reporters. The World. No. 1 golfer first start dating his wife when they were seniors in high school.

"When I was in college, I played intramural. So I played intramural basketball and intramural football."

"When I was in high school, I would do anything. It's funny reminiscing. My buddies I had in high school, we had so much fun doing random stuff. The summer before I went to college, it was nuts...

"At night when they would play video games, I would go home and go to sleep. I would wake up early and go practice golf. And then when they would get up, mosey out of bed, do their thing, we'd go play sand volleyball and go play pool volleyball and play tennis and play pickup at night.

Now, that's all changed.
