LIV golfer Bubba Watson compared Scottie Scheffler's success on the PGA Tour with legendary golfer Tiger Woods' remarkable year on the circuit during the initial days of his professional career.

It was a remarkable season for the 28-year-old, while fans witnessed something similar back in 2000 when Tiger Woods won nine titles in a single season.

Recently, LIV golfer Bubba Watson opened up about Scheffler and Woods' incredible success on the PGA Tour, calling the former's year "the best" in an interview with Golf.com. Nuclr Golf shared the news on its X (formerly Twitter) account, writing:

Bubba: “I know Tiger did some stuff in 2000 but Scottie’s year (2024) was the best we’ve ever seen” 👀 Do you agree with Bubba?

Fans reacted to Watson's take in the comment section of the post.

"Not even close. These LIV dudes are master gas lighters" a fan said.

"Absolutely not," another fan added.

"No. He’s even dumber than he looks," another fan said.

Some more fans were critical of the LIV golfer's opinion.

"This is an absolutely delusional take," one more fan added.

"What an absolute clown!" a fan commented.

"Tiger is the best ever by far," a fan jotted.
