British Open Champ Scheffler Says Comparisons to Woods 'a Bit Silly'

NORTHERN IRELAND, JUL 21 – Scottie Scheffler won his fourth major with a 17-under par total, joining Woods, Nicklaus, and Player as the only golfers with multiple majors before age 30.

  • On Sunday, July 20, at Royal Portrush, Hank Haney wrote `No one has ever played the game better than Tiger` about Scheffler's performance.
  • At 29 years and nearly one month, Scheffler has captured 17 PGA Tour titles and four majors, matching Woods’s tally of 41 titles and eight majors by that age.
  • Scheffler carded a 17-under 267 to win by four strokes, Harris English finished at 13-under par, and Scheffler became the third player to win multiple majors by that margin in one year.
  • Scottie Scheffler said he still has a long way to go, while Paul McGinley predicted he might surpass Tiger Woods in the future.
  • In the coming years, it will be interesting whether Scheffler approaches Tiger Woods’s record, and he’ll have the chance next June to complete the career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open.
