World No.1 Scottie Scheffler reveals incident regarding Tiger Woods which left him inspired

Over the years gone by, Tiger Woods has inspired several golfers. While the 82-time PGA Tour winner may be a shadow of his former self now, he continues to leave his mark on the upcoming stars. Ahead of the Tour Championship, current World No.1 Scottie Scheffler recalled an incident regarding Woods that left him inspired.

Scheffler’s recent dominance has often led to him being compared to Woods. This week, he once again turned down these comparisons and claimed it was “silly” to compare him with Woods.

During this, Scheffler recalled an incident about the 2020 Masters Tournament where he was paired with Woods in the final round. The American golfer expressed that the outing with Woods changed his perspective about tournaments.

I can’t tell you the look on his face when we got to the 1st green, and I look over, and we’re in 20th place, kind of playing, yada, yada, yada, and I look over and this guy is just locked in, and I was taken aback. I was like, holy smokes. Then we got to the 2nd hole, and he had this chip shot and he looked at it like it was an up-and-down to win the tournament. I’m like, this is incredible. I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life.

Scottie Scheffler said

Scheffler’s recent win at the BMW Championship saw him become just the 2nd golfer to have 5 or more wins in back-to-back PGA Tour seasons in the last 40 years. The first one? It’s Tiger Woods.

Woods first won 5 or more events on the PGA Tour from 1999 to 2003. After winning just once in 2004, he once again went on a dominating run and won at least 5 times from 2005 to 2007. At the moment, he is tied with Sam Snead for the most victories on the PGA Tour at 82 and needs one more win to become the all-time wins leader on the PGA Tour circuit.
