Scottie Scheffler is in the kind of form not seen in the men's game since Tiger Woods was ruling the world


The world of golf is going to need to come up with more superlatives for Scottie Scheffler, for the World No.1 is displaying the kind of form not seen in the men’s game since Tiger Woods was in his pomp.
Stats. It’s all about what the stats say these days – and when it comes to numbers, Scheffler boasts some seriously impressive ones.
And we’re not just talking about Strokes Gained stats, either, for we all know who’s been dominating on this front for the last few months.
One of the most impressive stats that just goes to show how far ahead the American is of the rest of the field, is how far under par he is when looking at his total score between the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he won in early March, and the RBC Heritage title that he claimed on Monday.
A total of 11 players were a combined -10 or better and didn’t miss any cuts between the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Players, Masters and RBC Heritage, all tournaments that Scheffler won.
