The golf world is buzzing after Cameron Young's dominant performance at the Cadillac Championship, but is he truly a better player right now than world number one Scottie Scheffler? Johnson Wagner recently weighed in on the debate, and his answer might surprise you.

Young is on the verge of securing his second major victory of the 2026 season, following his thrilling win at The Players Championship where he edged out Matt Fitzpatrick. Heading into the final round at Doral, the 28-year-old holds a commanding six-shot lead—a margin that suggests Sunday could be a coronation rather than a contest.

Meanwhile, Scheffler started his year strong with a win at The American Express, but since then, the competition has heated up. Rory McIlroy captured The Masters, Fitzpatrick has racked up three titles, and Young has emerged as a consistent force. Scheffler finds himself in the chasing pack at Doral, set to join his Ryder Cup teammate in the final group. Yet, Wagner isn't ready to hand the crown to Young just yet.

Speaking on Scorecard on CBS Sports, Wagner drew parallels to Scheffler's recent resilience. "Scheffler finished second at The Masters, second at Harbour Town. This tournament is pretty much exactly how Harbour Town started," he explained. "He played with Matt Fitzpatrick the first two days, didn't in the third round, played his way into the final group on Sunday, and then forced his way into a playoff. It's eerily similar."

Wagner highlighted Scheffler's raw power and precision as key factors. "I know Cam Young's playing great golf, but when you look at Scottie Scheffler, the way he's going to start well tomorrow, you know he is. By the way, I think he may be just as long as Cam Young. That tee shot he hit on 18, it was 310 yards to cover the corner of the water. He didn't need to because he was down the middle, but he would have covered the corner in a heartbeat. He also hit the 12th green in two today as well—driver, three wood. It's only 667 yards. The second shot into 12 may have been the best swing he made; this thing was beautiful. I didn't think he could," Wagner added.

For golf fans and players alike, this rivalry adds a thrilling layer to the season. Whether you're team Scheffler or team Young, one thing is clear: the game is in excellent hands. And as you gear up for the next round, make sure your own gear is ready to perform—because even the pros know that confidence starts with the right equipment.
