The Olympics place a unique emphasis on finishing top-three that is not found in other golf tournaments

In the Olympics everyone's fighting to finish in the top three more so than any tournament. You know, you podium versus if you don't do well and you come in second or third. I think the emphasis on second and third is a lot more than a normal tournament.

The medal structure of the Olympics inherently creates different incentives than standard stroke-play events.

The existence of a 'clutch' gene is a perennial sports debate that cannot be definitively proven.

Scotty Scheffler has more street cred now after his arrest

Scotty Scheffler at the top of this mountain... Scotty's from Highland Park in Texas or whatever, he's got more street cred than all of us now. In golf, it's like every other sport you're like 'is he gonna be able to make it?' and now it's like 'oh he's a badass.'

Subjective opinion on public/peer perception.
