What Was Scottie Scheffler's College GPA?

When Scottie Scheffler started attending college at the University of Texas in Austin, he didn’t meet the qualifications for the esteemed McCombs School of Business. So, if he wanted a shot at earning a finance degree, he had to get his grades way up. According to NBC Golf, we’re talking nothing but A’s across the board. He then had to maintain his high GPA for two years.

During that time, Scheffler had a lot of stressors in his life that were likely making it hard for him to focus on his studies. The love of his life had decided to go to school at Texas A&M, so he had to adjust to not having her around. There was also the immense pressure to perform on the putting green. “That combination threw him off balance. … It led to some poor golf that semester,” UT coach John Fields told NBC Golf.

Those who knew Scheffler in college remember him being fiercely driven and focused. “He’s probably the most competitive person I’ve been around,” his UT teammate Taylor Funk said in an interview for the PGA Tour website. So, when Scheffler was presented with the challenge of improving his grades, he took it on like a champ. Not only did he get that degree, he did it in four years. According to ESPN, he didn’t even have to attend summer classes to achieve his goal.
