Scottie Scheffler, currently ranked as the world No. 1 golfer, expressed his willingness to make a significant sacrifice for the success of the Dallas Cowboys. During an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, Scheffler remarked, 'I would trade one [major] for sure for a [Cowboys] Super Bowl.' This statement highlights the deep-rooted loyalty and passion he holds for the team he grew up supporting.

Originally born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, Scheffler was raised in Dallas, where his allegiance to the Cowboys was solidified. With four major championship titles to his name, including his recent victory at the 2025 Open Championship, the 29-year-old golfer is now eyeing the U.S. Open. A win there would allow Scheffler to join an elite group of players achieving a career Grand Slam. However, his willingness to relinquish one of his majors for a Cowboys Super Bowl victory underscores the importance of football in his life.

The Cowboys, who boast five Super Bowl championships, have not secured a title since Scheffler's birth, which was approximately five months before their last championship triumph. Since that time, the team has fallen short in playoff performances, failing to progress beyond the divisional round in their last 13 postseason appearances. As the 2025 NFL season unfolds, Dallas aims to make a deeper playoff run under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, while key players such as Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, and Trevon Diggs hope to remain healthy after collectively missing 21 games in the previous season. With aspirations for postseason success, Scheffler’s enthusiasm for his hometown team continues to run deep.
