That hope hasn't come to fruition in recent years, given the Cowboys' struggles. They have had late-season lapses, coaching turnovers, and defensive woes that have derailed them.The last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl was in 1996, the very year Scheffler was born. Meanwhile, the Eagles last won the Super Bowl in 2025.Overall, Scheffler has won four major championships during his career. He is a two-time Masters winner (2022, 2024).
