"He may not like it" - PGAT past champion draws parallel between Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods

PGAT past champion Johnson Wagner made a comparison between Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods. Scheffler has been in great form since the start of the 2025 season. By now, the golfer has clinched five victories and top 10 finishes in fifteen out of 18 tournaments he played in.

Watching his excellence on the greens, Wagner compared Scheffler’s dominance with Woods in his prime. The past champion joined the SiriusXM PGA Tour and shared his views, which were:

“There’s no other person you can compare him to…It's not winning five times for back to back years…it's the consistency in which he's doing it…the only person you can compare him to is Tiger in 2000…he may not like it...he wants to sort of push it off but man he is impressive.”

Scottie Scheffler will next appear at the Tour Championship as one of the top 30 finishers on the FedEx Cup standings. The Tour Championship is the last event of the FedEx Cup series.
