Scottie Scheffler doesn't care what the oddsmakers think or what people say about his status as the overwhelming favorite in this U.S. Open , and pretty much everywhere he plays.
But he can hear them - and sometimes, he hears from them.
"That's why I had to get rid of my Venmo, because I was either getting paid by people or people requesting me a bunch of money when I didn't win. It wasn't a good feeling," Scheffler said with a laugh Tuesday at Oakmont .
It wasn't entirely clear if he was kidding.
He did say later the most anyone tried to pay him for a win - he has won 19 times worldwide in just over three years - was a couple of dollars.
