Scottie Scheffler is achieving great results on the PGA Tour at a pace worthy of a legendary career, drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods.

Scottie Scheffler won his 16th PGA Tour title at the Memorial Tournament, matching Tiger Woods’s record of winning it in consecutive years. He also joined Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus and Woods in winning 16 tournaments in the shortest span of time.

World No 1 Scottie Scheffler emulated Tiger Woods by successfully defending the Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village. Only five-time winner Woods had previously retained the crown between 1999 and 2001, but Scheffler claimed a second consecutive success with a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin.
