Does God help athletes to win games?

Our listener asks, “Pastor Jesse, Last Sunday, Scottie Scheffler won the Masters. In his interviews and print media he said ‘I just wanted to Glorify God.’ My question is this: How does it Glorify God when a Christian athlete wins a competition? What if the runner up is also a Christian, but he did not win? Does that mean that God did not favor him to win? Maybe he did not pray hard enough! (sarcastic humor). I think you know what I’m trying to get at. It’s not like the Calvinistic view of ‘God controls everything and even controls our destiny and actions.’ I guess it’s like a friend of mine after a different person won a golf tournament, and he said ‘God helped me win.’ Upon hearing that, my friend said, ‘Does that mean that God was against the other player?'” Thanks, Mike
