Scheffler has been incredible for a while now, but he&#8217;s really been in top form during the early months of 2023. He&#8217;s already nabbed a couple of PGA Tour wins, including a dominant showing at the Players Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler&#8217;s run might be the best right now, but it&#8217;s hardly the only one golf has seen. In fact, Spieth himself went on a very similar run in 2015. Scheffler&#8217;s dominance has inspired the world number 14 golfer to go after it.<\/p>\n<p>Spieth said this about Scheffler, via Marca:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s such a hard sport; when you feel like you&#8217;re mastering it, there&#8217;s nothing cooler. He&#8217;s got be to feeling that right now. He&#8217;s had to have felt that way for quite a while now. But that&#8217;s what&#8217;s fun about this sport as well is you can get knocked down, you can feel the lowest of the lows and the highest of the highs, and if you&#8217;re willing to kind of want to play that game, that risky game in it, then the reward is massive. That&#8217;s the goal, [it] is to try to get to that level. There&#8217;s a lot of steps to get there.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Spieth is coming up on the Valspar Championship, which was one of the stops on his dominant run all the way back in 2015. If ever there was a time for Spieth to get hot, it&#8217;s now and it&#8217;s here at the Valspar.<\/p>\n<p>Spieth isn&#8217;t the same golfer he was then, naturally. He&#8217;s not the dominant force he once was when he debuted on the PGA Tour, but he&#8217;s certainly still a talented golfer.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Jordan Spieth heaps praise on Scottie Scheffler<\/h2>\n<p>Not only is Scottie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/golf\/news-i-don-t-like-losing-scottie-scheffler-motivated-bounce-back-defeat-jon-rahm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Scheffler<\/a> inspiring Jordan Spieth to play better, but he&#8217;s just flat out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/golf\/news-jordan-spieth-reveals-considers-the-best-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">impressing<\/a> him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/golf\/news-justin-thomas-jordan-spieth-early-favorites-valspar-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Spieth<\/a> said, in lavish praise for Scheffler:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;He&#8217;s got every shot, and then at this point, once he won last year and obviously won the Masters, I feel like his \u2014 when you&#8217;re presented with those shots, if you don&#8217;t feel like you have house money, you play them a certain way, but if you feel like it doesn&#8217;t matter, you&#8217;re going to play the shot that could go closest even if it means disaster could happen, you still sit there and go for it and pull it off&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"image\"><noscript><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/9a5ff-16789058870492-1920.jpg\" alt=\"Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler\" src-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/9a5ff-16789058870492-1920.jpg\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201280%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;But I&#8217;m saying I can&#8217;t use examples of Scottie before he won.
