Scottie Scheffler has emerged as one of golf’s most exciting talents, captivating fans with two Masters wins, along with victories at The Players Championship and Tour Championship. His exceptional play over the past year has cemented him as the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world.

The 2024 season, however, elevated Scheffler’s career to new heights. Over 21 starts, the Texas Longhorn legend claimed seven PGA Tour wins, including one major title, and an Olympic gold medal. He also won the Hero World Challenge.

This historic run of achievements led to widespread comparisons to Tiger Woods’ legendary 2000 season.

On a recent podcast, Bubba Watson described Scheffler’s year as “the best we’ve ever seen,” highlighting how the level of competition in 2024 elevated his accomplishments.

Watson emphasized that Scheffler’s dominance in such a competitive field places his season among the greatest in golf history.

While debates persist over whether Scheffler’s 2024 season surpasses Woods’ iconic 2000 campaign, being in contention for the best single season ever is an incredible feat for the 28-year-old. The question now turns to how much more Scheffler can achieve, as he continues to thrive in the prime of his career.

Heading into the weekend at the Houston Open, Scheffler holds a slim one-stroke lead halfway through the tournament. After a series of strong performances this season, he is in a prime position to secure his first win of 2025.

With the Masters just weeks away and the PGA Championship approaching in May, a victory here would provide a timely confidence boost and set the tone for what could be another exciting year for the world’s top-ranked golfer.

Scheffler’s career trajectory is nothing short of remarkable. With many tournaments left to play, the golfing world eagerly awaits to see how he continues to rewrite history and cement his place among the sport’s greatest legends.
