Comparing Scottie Scheffler, Texas Golf Hall of Famer Takes Brutal Dig at Tiger Woods for Past ‘Crap’

Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods share a remarkable completeness in their golf games. They excel in various aspects such as driving, approach shots, and putting. In 2024, Scheffler led the PGA Tour in key statistical categories. That included Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (+2.401), Strokes Gained: Approach the Green (1.277), and Scoring Average (68.645).

Both golfers possess strong mental resilience that allows them to thrive under pressure. Justin Thomas remarked on Scheffler’s ability to handle expectations.

In 2016, Jason Day highlighted Woods’ mental capabilities, stating, “Every time that I talk to him, it’s mindset, mental toughness, effort.” He admired Woods’ relentless execution, noting, “It didn’t matter how bad it was; he was just going to flat out-execute you.” Day expressed his desire to regain that competitive edge. He said, “I have the killer instinct. I do, it’s down there, but it just hasn’t come out yet.” He recognized Woods’ dominance, remarking, “If there’s a better person to talk to about it, that was him.” Moreover, he emphasized that the drive to succeed must come from within: “The biggest key was want.”
