Scottie Scheffler dedicates Masters victory to God

Scottie Scheffler dedicates Masters victory to God

At the press conference held after his win Scottie Scheffler said, “My buddies told me this morning, my victory was secure on the cross,” he said. “And that’s a pretty special feeling; to know that I’m secure forever and it doesn’t matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament. My identity is secure forever.”

In that same press conference he said, “I believe that today’s plans were already laid out many years ago, and I could do nothing to mess up those plans,” he said. “I have been given a gift of this talent, and I use it for God’s glory. That’s pretty much it. So when I’m out there, I try to compete to the best of my abilities.

Scheffler’s wife had also been a great support, he said, “She sent a lot of prayers, my neck was bugging me a little bit. She just prayed for some healing and prayed for a lot of peace out there.” I had a good conversation with my buddies this morning about the victory and that victory already being secure.”

TICCN has our very own Golf Chaplain, Protin Nalké. Protin is very aware of the support professional Golfers need as they face the pressures of competing.

Introducing our Golf Chaplain Protin Nalké 

Introducing our Golf Chaplain Protin Nalké 

We are delighted to introduce Protin our Golf Chaplain. He is passionate about the world of professional golf and trained under the guidance of Reverend Christopher Hughes. Since 2010 he has been connected to the world of Golf and has a passionate desire to advance Golf Chaplaincy within professional Golf. 

Speaking about his work Protin explained, “Golfers are athletes that need to be holistically supported as the pressure they face is significant.” He continued, “My concern about a specific Chaplaincy ministry for golfers led to an encounter with Archbishop Steven Evans in August 2021. I am grateful to Reverend Christopher Hughes for the connection and I am honoured to be part of TICCN Sports Chaplaincy team by God’s Grace.”

We are thankful for the passion that Protin has and for his God given ability to support and encourage golfers. We are confident that his efforts will continue to advance our increasing positive impact into the world of sports.
