Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 golfer and recent Open Championship winner, has revealed he would trade one of his four major titles for the Dallas Cowboys to end their 30-year Super Bowl drought. The golfer, who has dominated golf, emphasized his deep connection to the Cowboys and expressed a strong desire to see his hometown team reach the championship game after a long drought.
Scheffler, who is a New Jersey native but has resided in Dallas for much of his life, shared these comments during an interview after his victory at The Open. He mentioned that while he has achieved significant success in golf, the sport does not fulfill him entirely, and he has a strong emotional attachment to his Cowboys fandom.
Before the Open, Scheffler admitted that he has been rooting for a Super Bowl for a long time and humorously noted that he has dealt with more disappointment in football than in golf. His comments follow the Cowboys’ recent struggles, including a 7-10 record in 2024 and the loss of head coach Mike McCarthy. The team has not advanced to the conference championship game since 1995, highlighting the need for a breakthrough.
The Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought has been a long-standing issue, with the team having won only five titles in history. The 2,025 season marks 30 years since their last championship, adding to the pressure for a victory. Scheffler’s willingness to trade a major win for a Super Bowl victory underscores the deep personal investment he has in his Cowboys’ success.
