Scottie Scheffler Joins Tiger Woods as Only Players to Achieve Rare PGA Milestone

There isn't an athlete in the sports world currently in a rhythm quite like Scottie Scheffler is over the last month on the PGA Tour golf circuit.

On Sunday, Scheffler shot a two-under final round to finish 10-under for the tournament, capturing the Memorial Tournament title in Dublin, Ohio. The win was made even more special by the fact that it came at “Jack’s Place,” with golf legend Jack Nicklaus himself there to greet Scheffler after he sank the winning putt on the 18th hole.

This marks Scheffler’s second consecutive victory at the Memorial, and following his four-stroke win, the PGA Tour announced a piece of history: Scheffler has joined Tiger Woods as the only players to win the Memorial Tournament in back-to-back years. It also marks his third tournament win of the year—and his third in just his last four starts.

Scheffler, the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world, notched his biggest win of the year so far at the PGA Championship, where he secured his second career major. His consistency over the past two-plus years has been nothing short of remarkable, firmly establishing him as one of the game’s elite.

He still has two majors remaining this season—the U.S. Open and The Open Championship—both of which happen to be the final legs he needs to complete the career Grand Slam. It’s an incredibly tall task, but if anyone in today’s game has the ability to pull off such a historic achievement before turning 30, it’s Scheffler, who is still just 28 years old.

He is expected to take the upcoming week off and will not compete in the RBC Canadian Open, which will feature Rory McIlroy, who has missed the last two tournaments.
