Even people who have never swung a golf club love to watch what will be unfolding in Augusta for the next four days. The Masters Golf Tournament is steeped in tradition and that tradition is strengthened by the fact that it is the only major golf tournament played in the same location every year. Tiger Woods is playing again this year, and there are literally millions of fans that want to see him do well. Scottie Scheffler won the tournament 2 years ago and is currently ranked number one in the world. His golf skills have been honed to the highest level. But an interview I saw with him yesterday made an even bigger impression on me. The question from the reporter went like this: "How does golf fit in defining you as a person right now?" Scottie responds: "Hopefully it doesn't define me too much...I am a faithful guy. I believe in Jesus. Ultimately, that is what defines me the most." Celebrities and athletes have a tremendous platform to push their agenda. Regrettably, most of the time, I am not on board. I am so grateful for people like Scottie who are not ashamed to share what Jesus has done for them. Click here for the full interview (the comments on his faith starting around minute 11). I also found this interview from 2 years ago after he won the Masters. I love to watch Tiger, but you probably know who I will be cheering for.
