Talks between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour remain unresolved after several high-profile players left for the Saudi-backed league in 2022.
Scheffler, now a three-time major winner following his PGA Championship triumph at Quail Hollow, says he’s still uncertain how close the two sides are to reaching an agreement.
“I mean, I don’t really know. That’s for the higher-ups to decide,” said Scheffler.
“I have said it a few times this year. If you want to figure out what’s going to happen in the game of golf, go to the other tour and ask those guys.
“I’m still here playing the PGA TOUR. We had a tour where we all played together, and the guys that left, it’s their responsibility I think to bring the tours back together. Go see where they’re playing this week and ask them.”
Scheffler, who chose to remain with the PGA Tour, has held the world No 1 ranking for a total of 140 weeks since March 27, 2022.
He dismissed speculation about whether his dominance would hold if players like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka were still competing regularly on the PGA Tour, calling it a moot point.
“Who knows? I only get to compete against those guys four times a year,” he continued. “That was their choice; not mine.
“At the end of the day I’m here competing and doing the best I can, and that kind of stuff, what’s the point of me thinking about, you know?
“There’s really absolutely no point to that. We get four chances to compete against them. Last week went well. I get another chance here in a few weeks.”
Scheffler bounced back from giving up a five-shot lead to hold off Jon Rahm and claim victory at Quail Hollow on Sunday, having started the final round three strokes ahead.
He sealed the win with consecutive birdies on the 14th and 15th holes, finishing with a level-par 71 to secure a five-shot triumph.
Despite his latest major success, Scheffler was quick to reject the notion that he’s turning up at this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge just to make up the numbers.
“Coming off a major win obviously there’s a lot of emotion and stuff that comes with winning that golf tournament,” he explained.
“But at the end of the day, I didn’t just show up here to Fort Worth to just walk around and celebrate last week.
“I’m here for a reason, and that’s not to just play a couple of ceremonious rounds and then ride off into the sunset. That’s to compete.”
