00:00 Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf correspondent here coming to you from

00:09 Nassau in the Caribbean.

00:12 Speaking to you the day after the completion of the 2023 Hero World Challenge hosted by

00:20 Tiger Woods, won on this occasion by world number one Scottish Sheffler.

00:27 The American recorded his third win of the year as he completed a three shot success

00:33 at the Albany course here in the Bahamas.

00:39 It's been a terrific year for Sheffler, he's been the man that topped those rankings for

00:45 most of the year.

00:46 He had a bit of a dip in the middle of the season when he was struggling with his putter,

00:51 but since linking up with Englishman Phil Kenyon he's made great strides in that department

00:57 and he's certainly looking forward to a big 2024.

01:02 He's played in the Scottish Open the last three times, still to decide if he'll be back

01:08 at the Renaissance Club next July for that event, the Olympics in August in France is

01:16 complicating matters slightly on this occasion, but I think we'll see Sheffler there with

01:23 Rory McIlroy, the defending champion, having already said he'll be there.

01:28 Big week ahead in golf, the RNA and USGA are making an announcement on Wednesday about

01:35 a rollback of the golf ball and that's going to be universal across the game by the sounds

01:40 of things.

01:41 So keep in touch with all golf matters by logging on to thescotsman.com or buying the
