Scottie Scheffler is establishing himself as a powerhouse in professional golf, drawing comparisons to the legendary Tiger Woods. At just 29 years old, Scheffler has already captured 20 PGA Tour titles, including an impressive four major championships over the last four years.
PGA Tour Achievements
Woods set an incredible standard during his career with 82 PGA Tour victories and 15 major wins. While Scheffler has not yet reached those heights, he is making significant strides. Most notably, Scheffler is currently on a notable streak of 66 consecutive rounds making the cut, a statistic that highlights his remarkable consistency.
Current Streak Comparison
- Tiger Woods: 142 consecutive cuts
- Scottie Scheffler: 66 consecutive cuts
While Scheffler’s streak remains impressive, it is his top-10 finishes that truly set him apart. With a current total of 16 consecutive top-10 finishes, he has surpassed Woods’ previous mark of 11 consecutive top-10s, achieved between 2007 and 2008. If Scheffler secures a top-10 finish at the ongoing WM Phoenix Open, he will reach 17 straight finishes.
Top-10 Finish Record
- 1st: Byron Nelson – 65 consecutive top-10 finishes (1942-1946)
- 2nd: Ben Hogan – 27 consecutive top-10 finishes
- 3rd: Scottie Scheffler – 16 consecutive top-10 finishes (17 if counting Hero World Challenge)
- 4th: Jack Nicklaus – 13 consecutive top-10 finishes (achieved twice)
- 5th: Tiger Woods – 11 consecutive top-10 finishes
Since his last finish outside the top 10 at the 2025 Players Championship, Scheffler’s competitiveness has been unwavering. Despite occasionally facing challenges, such as an underwhelming opening round at TPC Scottsdale, he remains in contention for a top-10 finish in Phoenix.
Though it may be improbable for Scheffler to eclipse Woods’ record of 82 PGA Tour wins or his 15 major titles, his consistent performance solidifies his status as a leading figure in golf today. As he approaches another potential milestone, golf enthusiasts are eagerly watching to see if he can extend his current streak.
