World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is on a hot streak, but needs a lot more wins to join Tiger Woods’ level of dominance
Just think if Scottie Scheffler had not misread that five-foot birdie putt that kept him out of a playoff at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Scheffler has 10 victories worldwide, all but one of them coming in February, March and April. The exception is the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas last December, which is easy to overlook because of the 20-man field. It gets world-ranking points but doesn’t count as official on any tour in the world.The Official World Golf Ranking formula has changed over the years, but it’s safe to say the gap between Scheffler and the rest of golf is the greatest since Woods in his prime.
And so it’s easy to put them in the same conversation. Scheffler joined Woods as the only players to win The Players Championship and the Masters in the same year. Only three players younger than Scheffler have won two Masters – Woods, Nicklaus and Seve Ballesteros.The Masters was Scheffler’s 109th start since he began his rookie season on the PGA Tour. His nine victories include two Masters and The Players Championship back to back. The other five wins were against some of the strongest fields.
