We’re reaching absurd phases with Scottie Scheffler lately, a lot in order that the one comparability that makes any form of sense (even when it doesn’t) is Tiger Woods. He has been that dominant throughout the PGA Tour {and professional} golf at massive.
Whereas Scheffler didn’t win his final begin within the Charles Schwab he did win the 2 earlier than that within the CJ CUP and, no massive deal, the PGA Championship. He has 3 majors to his identify, a gold medal and all kinds of statistics and accolades which might be adorning a profession which most likely hasn’t even hit its precise prime but.
It is because of this that the comparisons to Tiger typically get thrown out. When somebody dominates the world of golf, or something actually, Woods is referenced due to how he did so for thus lengthy. Scottie is just not Tiger, however that is merely the territory that he has reached relative to his friends for the time being.

Scottie has an opportunity to affix Tiger on a fairly unique record this week, although. Golf is having a fairly busy week with nationwide championships wrapping up on the collegiate stage and the U.S. Girls’s Open occurring within the ladies’s recreation, however the males are partaking within the Memorial which is among the PGA Tour’s signature (no pun supposed) occasions.
Scheffler is the defending champion on the Memorial Match and a win would clearly be a profitable title protection. It’s right here that he can be part of Woods as Tiger is the one participant to ever win the occasion consecutive instances (Woods truly received it 3 times in a row from 1999-2001).
The comparisons to Tiger are solely going to proceed to develop for Scottie as he retains on profitable. Ought to he return to again at Jack’s place then there shall be all of the extra motive to.
