The comparisons have been foolish at first, as they at all times are.
Scottie Scheffler isn’t Tiger Woods as a result of no one will ever be Tiger Woods. Tiger was dominant at a stage that the world {of professional} golf, the world {of professional} sports activities, won’t ever see once more.
We’re reaching a degree although the place the comparisons aren’t precisely foolish, although.
Scheffler secured the Open Championship in relatively straightforward trend on Sunday at Royal Portrush and within the course of put himself a U.S. Open away from a Profession Grand Slam. If he have been to ever be a part of that group he would discover himself in Tiger’s firm (and Rory McIlroy’s due to this season’s Masters).
A part of the explanation that is true is as a result of Scottie, a two-time Masters winner himself, gained the PGA Championship earlier this season. His Claret Jug marks his fourth profession main championship and he received to that mark from his first in the very same size of time as Tiger.
Fairly merely… that is completely insane. You can not even start to put out odds for a way this might ever occur. Successful 4 majors in 1,197 days in and of itself is an insane accomplishment, however Scottie doing it like this and mirroring Tiger will solely add to the lore.
How lengthy till Scottie’s subsequent? Subsequent 12 months’s Masters? The U.S. Open for the CGS?
Something is feasible for Scheffler.
