I agree that it will save his back, but I'm afraid for what it's going to do to his left ankle. He rolls over on it so bad

they've got to do something about the OWGR. The fact that Justin Thomas is #30 in the world is laughable. His last 6 starts in majors he has 4 missed cuts with his best finish being tied for 53.. Granted he won the PGA 2 years ago, but still...


Good luck. Fixing it is hard to do when the priority is ensuring all the better LIV players don't get points.

8 of his 10 wins have come on only 4 courses (AGNC, Bay Hill, Sawgrass, Scottsdale)....which is very similar to what Tiger did in his heyday


It's interesting in that if I remember the stats correctly, he's only won in the spring.

So is it the courses or something to do with wearing down over the season?

Spieth's 2015's is still above Scheffler's current run for me because of Spieth's performance in the Majors. Wins the Masters by 4, wins the US Open, misses out on the Open Championship playoff by 1 shot, then finishes 2nd in the PGA.

With his crazy footwork, how long can he keep this up? At some point he is going to lose his timing with all the dancing and getting it back will be incredibly difficult. I think some of this is why I like him. Imagine all the well meaning coaches and friends that have tried to make him more conventional over the years and dude said no thanks, I'm doing it my way. I don't know how long it is sustainable, but it is fun to watch now.


The thing is… I don't think his footwork is bad/negative though, it's just exaggerated.

So when he can't exaggerate it anymore he just becomes…normal?

He's never won after the month of April and he's never won at a course North of Augusta. Those could both go out of the window at Valhalla, but interesting stats for now after 10 wins.

I saw a stat the other day that put it into perspective. Scheffler is without a doubt the best golfer in the world right now. He's been the world #1 according to the OWGR for a total of 87 weeks in his career, and he's in a stretch right now where he's been #1 for 53 consecutive weeks, or a little over a year.

Tiger was #1 for a total of 679 weeks, including a stint of 280 weeks in a row from June 2005 until October 2010, or about 5.5 years. So if Scheffler can keep it up for 4.5 more years, he'll match Tiger's longest streak.

He has a ways to go, though, in terms of dominating his competition. Cumulatively, Scheffler has been #1 for a total of 18 months in his career. Tiger spent more than 13 years at #1.
