There are no or incorrect records in Scottie Scheffler's score card during the round. The score card stays empty or includes incorrect values.
I had something similar with Scheffler on PS5. At some point during the round, his scorecard lagged a hole behind -- i.e. when we finished playing 13, he received a score for 12 and 13 was blank. Then when we finished 14, he received a score for 13, and so on. Also, the scores were wrong; he made birdie on a hole and when it was finally put on his scorecard a hole later, it was put down as a par.
"The Scheffler Bug"
The bug is related to the last round and having an actual AI playing partner. To replicate it (at least on the PS5), simply start a tournament and play through the first three rounds (I usually do this on the quick play setting where you only play a few holes a round). Obviously, make sure you use the setting that allows you to play with a computer player pairing in the final round. When you get to the 4th/last round of the tournament, save at any point and quit. When you come back in, regardless of who your initial pairing at the start of the 4th round (I've had Finau, Catlay, Spieth, etc.), it's switched to Scheffler and his scorecard is blank. The announcers dialogue is wrong when they speak about his score as well (probably matched to whomever the actual pairing was supposed to be with).
Furthermore, if you enter a playoff under these circumstances, at the end of the fourth round, it's typically blocked after you finish the first hole. Just sits on a landscape picture with nothing progressing, which in terms of criticality is just shy of a total game crash.
The issue really has something to do with the save and reload. Whenever I've played that last round without saving and coming back it seems to work fine. I have not tested this with playing full rounds through a tournament, but it is consistently happening with quick play rounds on the fourth round with an AI playing partner. I have also not tested to see if this happens with a playing partner during other rounds (not sure if that is a setting or not).
