Overview

• Adam Schefter, a veteran NFL insider with ESPN since 2009, made his on-course debut at the $20 million Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
• He compared Tommy Fleetwood’s PGA Tour title drought to Dak Prescott’s playoff struggles and likened Patrick Mahomes’s dominance to Scottie Scheffler’s form.
• Golf fans took to Twitter to dismiss the NFL-to-golf analogies as unnecessary and off-base.
• Critics pointed to Fleetwood’s seven European Tour wins and multiple major top-five finishes to challenge the Prescott comparison.
• Schefter had described the assignment as a refreshing change of pace, but his NFL-centric commentary has divided the event’s audience.
