It was late at night, and Scottie Scheffler was on the range after finishing a late third round at Augusta National with a one-shot lead. With his coach Randy Smith and caddie Ted Scott, Scheffler was taking some swings under the range lights. Despite the Golf Channel commentators thinking they were working on something, they were actually just having some fun while waiting for a massage appointment. Scheffler had been on a winning streak, securing his second green jacket at the Masters and winning multiple tournaments, putting him in the conversation for one of the best seasons in PGA Tour history.
When comparing Scheffler’s season to the likes of Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh, it is evident that he is having a remarkable year. With six wins before July, Scheffler is on track to potentially have one of the best seasons ever. Despite the absence of certain top players on the LIV tour, Scheffler’s wins at prestigious events like the Masters and the Players Championship cannot be understated.
As Scheffler looks ahead to the upcoming tournaments, including the Open Championship and the Olympics, there is a possibility for him to further solidify his season as one of the greatest. With only a few more tournaments left in the year, Scheffler has the opportunity to add to his impressive win total and potentially even secure another major victory. Whether he ends the season with another major win or multiple additional victories, Scheffler’s performance this year is a testament to his skill and consistency.
In the end, the debate over where Scheffler’s season ranks among the all-time best is subjective. While statistics and comparisons can be made to past greats like Tiger Woods, ultimately, Scheffler’s season should be appreciated for the greatness it showcases. With a three-year run of 12 wins and 36 top-5 finishes, Scheffler has proven himself to be a special talent in the world of golf. So, as fans and spectators, let’s sit back and enjoy watching Scheffler’s incredible season unfold.
