The golf superstar can join Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in an exclusive PGA Tour club on Sunday.<\/p>\n

If Scheffler wins at The American Express, he makes history.<\/p>\n

Woods and Nicklaus are currently the only two players in PGA Tour history with 20 event wins and four majors before turning 30.<\/p>\n

Scheffler’s win Sunday would be his 20th, and he’s got the majors.<\/p>\n

The stat comes via Justin Ray:<\/p>\n

Scheffler will be a part of the final threesome on Sunday in California.<\/p>\n

He’s at 21-under through three rounds, tied for second with 18-year old Blades Brown.<\/p>\n

First place is held solo right now by Si Woo Kim, who is 22-under.<\/p>\n

It should be a special final round no matter what, with Brown trying to set a record for youngest winner and Scheffler trying to join Jack and Tiger in the record books.<\/p>\n
