US EditionScheffler Says Comparisons to Woods 'a Bit Silly'
COLERAINE, NORTHERN IRELAND, JUL 22 – Scottie Scheffler won the British Open by four shots, marking his third major victory and fourth win in 2025 as he maintained a dominant season with minimal bogeys.
- On July 21, 2025, Scottie Scheffler increased his advantage to seven strokes at Royal Portrush and ultimately secured the British Open title with a four-stroke margin.
- Scheffler achieved this commanding position after a slow start to the year caused by recovery from a puncture wound on his right hand.
- He emphasized that he does not focus on comparisons or championship counts, stating, "That's not what motivates me," and described Tiger Woods as standing alone in golf.
- Only Scheffler and Woods have managed to secure two major championship victories in a single calendar year by a margin of four shots or more over the past five decades, and both took exactly 1,197 days to progress from their first to their fourth major title.
- Scheffler's dominance suggests potential to approach historic greatness, though commentators note he is not transcending the game as Woods did and emphasize the difficulty of sustaining such success over decades.
