Floor Speech

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Scottie Scheffler for his victory at the 2024 Masters Golf Tournament.

The first full week of April every year, golf fans across the world get a glimpse into the beauty and majesty that Georgia's 12th District has to offer.

For nine decades, the world's finest golfers have descended upon Augusta, Georgia, to put their game to the ultimate test on the grounds of the Augusta National Golf Club.

Furthermore, congratulations to Chairman Ridley, members of the Augusta National, along with this year's staff and volunteers for hosting yet another historic and memorable Masters Week.

The best part of the world's most dominant golfer is Scottie Scheffler's character repeatedly speaking about how faith and family defines him and the upcoming birth of his child. He shared with the world that a friend on Sunday morning had reminded him that his victory was secured on the cross. When he stepped out on that first tee, he was confident he had done all he could do to prepare for that final round. He knew that victory would be for God's glory. What a powerful testimony.

Scottie is a true champion, an exemplary role model for golf around the world. Congratulations to the 2024 Masters champion, Scottie Scheffler.
