Scottie Scheffler Joins Tiger Woods in Making PGA Tour History originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Scheffler has been world No. 1 continuously for 113 weeks (he hasn't relinquished the title since May 22, 2023). In total, he has been the greatest of all time for 147 weeks. Big Cat is unrivaled with his 281 consecutive titles (his total is 683). But only Scheffler and Woods have held the title for this long in the modern era.

Five days after Scottie Scheffler waxed poetic about not finding his life's joy from winning golf tournaments, he won another golf tournament -- a big one. The Open Championship. His first win at The Open, and his fourth career major title.

Scottie Scheffler won The Open Championship at Royal Portrush last weekend, which has once again seen the world No. 1 compared to arguably golf's greatest players in Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods’ first Open Championship appearance came at St. Andrews in 1995. He would finish tied for 65 in the event, but his appearance at the major was just a small part of an incredible year.

The more Scottie Scheffler keeps winning, the more comparisons there are to Tiger Woods. Scheffler thinks they're a little silly. He notes Woods has 15 majors.
