THE Scottie Scheffler "era" has started in golf and the new Masters champion is "going to be a force for years to come".
The world No.1 was keener to make a quick return home to Dallas to see his pregnant wife Meredith after his second Major triumph than praise his own virtues.
But players and pundits queued up to pay tribute to the undisputed best player in the world, who has now won nine titles - including two Masters - since his breakthrough win in February 2022.
Scheffler has not been out of the top 10 in his last seven events. He is 142 under par for 35 rounds. He has won three of his last four events and missed a putt to reach a play-off in the other.
The first Major of the season was a long-awaited clash between the best on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. It was no contest.
His caddie Ted Scott said: "The guy is a different kind of special. His superpower is people that are super powerful are good at everything and he seems to be good at everything. He doesn't really have a weakness."
