Fans have long been fascinated by the way Scottie Scheffler continues to motivate himself to perform at the highest level despite his tremendous success. Even the world No. 1 himself has reflected on the topic, as he did during his now-famous press conference before the Open Championship last July.Scheffler has always responded from the perspective of how much golf means to him and his effort to always stay focused on the course. However, during his press conference ahead of the Tour Championship, he delved a little deeper into the topic and revealed the role Tiger Woods plays in the matter.The Ridgewood, New Jersey, native shared an anecdote involving the 15-time major champion that has kept him going ever since."My biggest takeaway from playing with Tiger (Woods) was the amount of intensity that he took to every shot, and that's something I've talked to a lot of guys about," Scheffler told the reporters, according to the presser's transcripts. "Tiger was just different in the sense of the way he approached each shot, it was like the last shot he was ever going to hit."I've only played with Tiger once in a tournament. I played with him in the 2020 COVID Masters, and I think he made a 10 on the 12th hole, and he birdied, I think, five of the last six, and it was like, 'What's this guy still playing for? He's won the Masters four or five times. Best finish he's going to have is like 20th place at this point.'"I just admired the intensity that he brought to each round, and that's something that I try to emulate. If I'm going to take time to come out here each week -- like it's not an easy thing to play a golf tournament. If I'm going to take a week off, I might as well just stay home. I'm not going to come out here to take a week off. If I'm playing in a tournament, I'm going to give it my all. That's really all it boils down to."The then-second-year PGA Tour player and still winless Scheffler certainly played with Woods in the final round of the 2020 Masters Tournament. And it's no wonder why the experience left such a lasting mark on him.Woods got off to a very rough start in that round, with a birdie and three bogeys on his card through the 11th hole. However, it was on the 12th that his bad luck reached its limit: the legendary player found the water three times, which led to three penalties, faced an impossible shot from the back bunker, and ultimately carded a 10-hole for a seven-bogey.But, as Scheffler recalled, Woods bounced back like the super-champion he is and birdied five of the final six holes to leave Augusta National Golf Club with his dignity intact. His score for the round was a 4-over 76, which brought his score for the event to 1-under, as he finished tied for 38th.It's worth remembering that Woods had won his fifth green jacket just the previous year.In the meantime, Scheffler finished tied for 19th with a score of 6-under. It was his debut at the Masters, and also his worst finish to date at the Augusta National.More Golf: FedEx Cup: Fowler Falls Short as Euro Underdog Storms Into Ryder Cup Talks
