Insane stat shows how dominant Scottie Scheffler has been

If you want to know how dominant Scottie Scheffler has been this season, look no further than the U.S. Team Rankings for the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Scheffler won yet another golf tournament on Sunday, this time the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland. The World No. 1 golfer expanded his lead in the FedEx Cup Standings ahead of the TOUR Championship, where he will be heavily favored.

Scheffler's lead in the Ryder Cup rankings also grew. The standings determine which six players automatically make the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team. Players have earned points by making cuts at events in 2024 and 2025. It is hardly a surprise that Scheffler tops the list, but the margin between him and the next-best golfer is truly remarkable.

Following Scheffler's win on Sunday, he now has 37,181 points in the U.S. Team Rankings. J.J. Spaun is in second place with 14,852 points.

Scheffler has been ranked World No. 1 for well over two years now. He has five wins this season, including the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. Scheffler has finished no worse than eighth in any tournament in which he has played since March, which spans 13 total events.

One of Scheffler's best shots of the year came on the 17th hole on Sunday and essentially put the BMW Championship away.

No player since Tiger Woods has had a stretch as dominant as Scheffler's, and the 29-year-old has shown no sign of slowing down.
