Scheffler is the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to spend an entire calendar year at No. 1
Scottie Scheffler, of the United States, poses with the championship trophy after the final round of the Hero World Challenge PGA Tour at the Albany Golf Club in New Providence, Bahamas, on Dec. 8.Scottie Scheffler returned from a two-month break and nothing changed. He won the Hero World Challenge on Sunday with a 9-under 63 to tie the tournament record at Albany Golf Club and win by six shots.
Tom Kim tried to stay close until he missed a 19-inch par putt on the par-5 11th. He birdied the final hole for a 68 and was runner-up when Thomas, whose faint hopes ended with a bogey on the 18th, drove into the water on the 18th for another bogey. He shot 71 and finished third. “Very satisfying,” Scheffler said. “I did a lot of good stuff today on the course. It feels nice to take a break and come back and continue to play some really solid golf.”
What reminded Woods of his own great run – and there was a lot of them for Woods – was how few mistakes Scheffler makes during a round or a tournament. Albany was another example. He made only two bogeys over 72 holes. Still to come for Scheffler is teaming up with Rory McIlroy in a made-for-TV match at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas on Dec. 17 to face LIV Golf stars Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.
Kim lives in Dallas and used to play with Scheffler all the time before Scheffler’s wife gave birth to their first child. Kim knows what to expect.
