Scheffler maintained his lead in first, second, third, and fourth-round scoring averages over the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
The last player to accomplish this feat was Woods back in 2000.<\/p>\n
Scheffler posted averages of 67.45 in opening rounds, 68.00 in second rounds, 68.40 in third rounds, and 68.10 in final rounds.<\/p>\n
His season-long scoring average beat Rory McIlroy by nearly a full stroke.<\/p>\n
While Scheffler has consistently downplayed Woods comparisons previously, he’s now climbing the record books.<\/p>\n
“I think in the simplest form, I think it’s very silly to be compared to Tiger Woods,” Scheffler remarked when questioned about such parallels at the Tour Championship in August.<\/p>\n
“I think Tiger is a guy that stands alone in the game of golf, and I think he always will.<\/p>\n
“Tiger inspired a whole generation of golfers. You’ve grown up watching that guy do what he did week in, week out. It was pretty amazing to see.”<\/p>\n
Despite believing the comparisons are ridiculous, Scheffler still seeks to adopt Woods’ approach and behavior on the course.<\/p>\n
“My biggest takeaway from playing with Tiger was the amount of intensity that he took to every shot, and that’s something I’ve talked to a lot of guys about,” Scheffler said at the Tour Championship after he and Woods played together at the 2020 Masters.<\/p>\n
“We’re in 20th place or whatever going into Sunday at the Masters, Tiger has won five Masters, he’s got no chance of winning the tournament,” Scheffler said.<\/p>\n
“Then we showed up on the first hole and I was watching him read his putt, and I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this guy is in it right now.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scheffler maintained his lead in first, second, third, and fourth-round scoring averages over the 2025 season.
