Scottie Scheffler has been ranked No. 1 in the world since last May
Scottie Scheffler hits out of the sand on the second green during the final round of The Players Championship golf tournament on March 17, 2024, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.Scottie Scheffler is next in line for comparisons with Tiger Woods because golf, like other sports, is always looking for the heir to the throne.
Woods holds the record at 281 consecutive weeks, breaking his previous mark of 264 consecutive weeks. His total time at No. 1 was slightly more than 13 years.“Any time you can be compared to Tiger I think is really special,” Scheffler said. “But I mean, the guy stands alone I think in our game. He really does.”“Outside of that, I've got 14 more majors and 70-some PGA Tour events to catch up,” he said.
Scheffler offered a small reminder about looking too far into the future. He felt something in his neck on the second hole of his second round, and the pain was such that it hurt to take the club too far back. He needed treatment after the 13th, 14th and 15th holes. He had reason to withdraw except that he was playing well – he was tied when he felt the pain – and his competitiveness kept him from stopping.
