HOW SCOTTIE GOT SO GOOD

Scottie Scheffler has huge fan in Adam Scott, who marvels at his Tiger-esque season

Gregory Shamus

ATLANTA — It’s been said that all comparisons are odious, so venturing down the road to assessing whether or not Scottie Scheffler’s dominating season is reminiscent of some of the best years of Tiger Woods seems rather, well, questionable for passing the smell test.

MORE: Breaking down Scottie Scheffler's numbers of the year is insane

Scheffler won the Tour Championship and a $25 million bonus as FedEx Cup champion on Sunday for his seventh PGA Tour win of the season—and eighth overall counting his Olympic gold medal—to put an exclamation point (or several of them) on a truly special run that included his second Masters title and the first successful defense of the Players Championship in the history of the event. He led the FedEx Cup standings for the final 25 weeks after his first win of the year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March. His official earnings came up just short of $30 million.

What’s more, his lead in the Official World Golf Ranking is not even close to Woods’ record, but it’s still among the biggest in history.

Winner of 13 tour titles in the last three years and ranking first in 40 statistical categories in 2024, Scheffler, 28, is by every measure the game’s finest talent and well on his way to taking a place among the best of all-time, if he can maintain his current level of excellence. There is no evidence to believe he can’t.

Is it unreasonable to compare him to Tiger Woods? The only player in the field last week at East Lake Golf Club who has competed against Woods in his prime for a significant number of years, Adam Scott doesn’t think so. The Australian veteran unequivocally sees similarities between Woods and Scheffler.

“Yeah, I think that's fair,” said Scott, 44, when asked about Scheffler’s “Tiger-esque" type season. “I think all the stats back that up. I think that the results back it up. It's been pretty incredible, from really starting at Bay Hill, I guess.

“I think it is on par with those great years of Tiger's,” the 2013 Masters winner added. “I think it's very hard today for anyone to separate themselves as much as Scottie has. I don't think we've seen that in a long time. I think it's harder to do it today.”

Interestingly, Scott admits that even after his 20-plus years as a pro and 14 PGA Tour titles, he has been inclined to pick Scheffler’s brain for insights into factors that contribute to his success. “I ask him every day,” Scott said.

“Yeah, I do. I'm observing all the time everything he does,” Scott, ranked 21st in the world, continued. “I switched to his golf ball this year. I did a bunch of stuff just to see what's going on. But I didn't find it.”

Well, yeah, greatness doesn't just come out of a bottle.

Scott carded a final-round four-under 67 at East Lake and tied for fourth in the 30-man field. He ended up 11 shots behind Scheffler at 19 under par, but his actual aggregate score of 268 only trailed the FedEx Cup champion by four shots. He is preparing for his 11th appearance for the International team in the Presidents Cup later this month at Royal Montreal in Canada.

He is hopeful that the International team, led by Mike Weir, can win for the first time since 1998.

“I think our team is deeper than we've seen for a while, I mean, as far as world ranking goes,” Scott said. “Not that that's the be all and end all, but it's something. Usually our bottom players drift out a little in the World Ranking, and it's a lot tighter this year. I feel like we're putting together a formidable side, and 18-hole match play and some momentum, and we can get right in it.”

The good news is that Scottie Scheffler, while really good, can only win one match at a time.

Rory McIlroy Is Trying to Apply Pressure, but a Power Struggle Inside the PGA Tour Has Stalled Talks With LIV Golf

Michael rosenberg , michael rosenberg | 18 hours ago.

Rory McIlroy did not just make an announcement Wednesday. He fired a shot. McIlroy wants the best players on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf to play against each other, and so he is going to make that happen, and he will dare anybody to try to stop him.

McIlroy told Golfweek that he and Scottie Scheffler will face LIV’s Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in a made-for-TV match in December. But McIlroy is enough of a TV junkie to know that the more compelling drama is what is happening away from the cameras: A power struggle inside the PGA Tour.

Top players can deny it publicly . They can say everyone is working together . But they know the truth, and that’s not it. The Tour has become like Congress, with different sides using political leverage and little-known bureaucratic rules to gain the upper hand.

McIlroy and his allies want to get a deal done with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, to unify men’s golf under the PGA Tour umbrella.

A group led by Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth wants control. They are driven in part (though certainly not exclusively) by anger. They were blindsided by the Tour’s framework agreement with PIF.  Wherever the Tour goes from here, they want to control the terms, and they want those terms to be better for them than for the guys who ditched the Tour for LIV.

Then you have commissioner Jay Monahan . He is trying to keep his job. That reality hangs over all of this. Monahan has to cater to his stars, or he’ll get fired.

To understand this dynamic, consider a few developments from the past year.

Last fall, after calling Cantlay a “d---” and saying they had very different visions for the golf landscape, McIlroy resigned from his seat on the Tour’s Policy Board. Then, this spring, McIlroy decided he wanted to be on the board again.

Webb Simpson, a McIlroy ally, planned to resign and give his seat to McIlroy.

Predictably, not everybody on the board wanted McIlroy back—and bylaws require board members’ approval. McIlroy was naive to think he could resign, publicly insult Cantlay, and then just take Simpson’s seat without any pushback. But also: Nobody seemed to care about bylaws or precedent when a seat was created for Cantlay in 2022 or for Woods last August. Woods’s seat doesn’t even have a term ! It is literally just a seat for people named Tiger Woods to hold for as long as they would like.

So what happened after McIlroy was blocked? Simpson stayed on, tacitly confirming that he was only resigning to give his seat to McIlroy.

And then Monahan added McIlroy to the Tour’s “transaction subcommittee” that is negotiating with PIF. Theoretically, that gives McIlroy a more direct voice in the negotiations than Cantlay or Spieth, who are not on the subcommittee. But only theoretically.

Follow along.

When the players created a policy-board seat for Woods last summer, they shifted power away from the independent directors, who have extensive business experience, and toward the players. And when it was time to choose leaders for the newly created PGA Tour Enterprises, the players exercised that power.

The six player directors chose Joe Ogilvie as liaison director for PGA Tour Enterprises.

According to multiple sources, the five independent directors chose Mark Flaherty, a member of the policy board, to be chairman of PGA Tour Enterprises.

Then came the vote.

The players unanimously decided they wanted a different policy board member, Joe Gorder, instead of Flaherty.

Gorder was elected and named chair of PGA Tour Enterprises.

A few weeks later, policy board member Jimmy Dunne resigned , saying “my vote and my role is utterly superfluous.” Six days later, Flaherty resigned from the policy board. In between those resignations, Spieth said the media has “got to stop saying” players have taken control of the board, which he said is “balanced.”

We can fairly debate who is right and wrong. One could argue— and I have —that any deal with PIF is unseemly.

But the power struggle is real. At times, it has been contentious. A strong, savvy commissioner would get the factions under control and convince everybody they are stronger if they work together. But for the past year, Monahan has been too busy falling on his sword to do anything else.

Monahan keeps putting a positive spin on the PIF negotiations . But if they are going so well, then wouldn’t McIlroy know? He is, after all, on the transaction subcommittee.

The thing about negotiating a massive deal on behalf of the players is that those players have diverse interests and different visions for what the Tour should be. That’s why the Tour needs a strong leader. Instead, it has one who is weakened but still in power. Monahan is even weaker than a lame duck, because at least a lame duck wouldn’t worry about losing his job.

Compounding the problem is that prominent golfers have a distorted sense of their own value. Woods is a global icon, but he is the only one. PIF has convinced some of these guys they are actually worth what the Saudis are paying, whether they took the money or not. Monahan has tried to satisfy them by ramping up purses to a degree that was never sustainable. But who will tell them?

When people with competing agendas have unrealistic expectations and no real oversight, how can anything get done? The Tour has operated in a climate of mistrust for more than a year. That is a problem in an insular sport with so many possible conflicts of interest.

These are facts:

• In 2020, Cantlay signed an endorsement deal with the investment bank Goldman Sachs. Flaherty is on Goldman Sachs’s board of directors. He is also on the board of the Patrick Cantlay Foundation. In November 2023, Goldman Sachs did not renew its endorsement deal with Cantlay . Four months later, Cantlay and the players blocked Flaherty from becoming chair of PGA Tour Enterprises.
• Woods and McIlroy are co-founders of TGL, an indoor golf league that was scheduled to launch in 2024 but has since been delayed until 2025 . TGL’s website declares it is “in partnership with the PGA Tour.”
• TGL’s Boston team is owned by Fenway Sports Group , whose ownership is intertwined with Strategic Sports Group, which has agreed to invest up to $3 billion in PGA Tour Enterprises. Fenway principal owner John Henry is an investor director for PGA Tour Enterprises. TGL’s Atlanta team is owned by Arthur Blank, who is also an investor director for PGA Tour Enterprises.
• TGL’s Jupiter Golf Links team is co-owned by Woods’s TGR Ventures and David Blitzer of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. Blitzer’s longtime business partner is Josh Harris, the co-founder of Apollo Global Management, which just signed an endorsement deal with … Patrick Cantlay.

Again: These are all facts. They don’t mean anybody is acting improperly. Just for example: Though I have criticized Cantlay in the past, I do not believe Cantlay blocked Flaherty’s appointment as retribution for the Goldman Sachs deal ending. I don’t think one is related to the other at all.

But players need an independent group of people that listens to them and looks out for all of their best interests. They need to be confident in that group. When McIlroy gets blocked for dubious reasons, and independent directors resign because nobody is listening to them, and Spieth insists there’s nothing to see here, and McIlroy and Scheffler go rogue , and Monahan tells people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear … how confident can they be?

More facts: Last summer, PIF chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan signed a framework agreement to give the Tour the power to determine the future of LIV Golf. As SI previously reported, he also indicated a willingness to fund a $1 billion equalization pool for the PGA Tour players who turned down LIV offers before the framework agreement.

The players had a choice. They could decide any deal with PIF was unpalatable and walk away. Or they could finish negotiating a deal that would have inevitably been favorable to them.

Instead, they chose Door No. 3.

Fifteen months later, we still don’t know what is behind it.

Scottie Scheffler’s incredible season gets a fitting ending

10 Min Read

Converts TOUR Championship’s No. 1 seed into FedExCup crown

Change Text Size

ATLANTA – There was only one acceptable outcome for Scottie Scheffler at the TOUR Championship. That made the FedExCup Playoffs finale one of the most stressful weeks of the year.

In the previous two seasons, Scheffler had relinquished the unique, two-stroke advantage that the TOUR Championship affords the FedExCup leader. Though he was the PGA TOUR Player of the Year in both 2022 and 2023 – the first player since Tiger Woods to win the award in consecutive years – he couldn’t lay claim to the TOUR’s season-long prize.

“It definitely, I think, leaves a bad taste in your mouth at the end of the year, especially when I start with the lead,” Scheffler said about his unsuccessful attempts to win the FedExCup.

He was determined to make this time different. He is too competitive and had worked too hard to settle for anything less. There was no other way to end an incredible season where he won everything from a green jacket to a gold medal.

Behind the scenes after Scottie Scheffler’s TOUR Championship win

“In the back of your head you know it’s going to come down to this,” Scheffler said, “and you have to have a great week.”

This time, he did. But he had to show one more time what separates him from his peers before he could finally lift the FedExCup for the first time.

It came in the middle of a final round that once seemed like little more than a formality. Scheffler had built a seven-shot lead with just 16 holes remaining. The lead dwindled to two, though, after his sand shot on the eighth hole caught a portion of the clubface that only amateurs find.

Scottie Scheffler suffers back-to-back bogeys after shank at TOUR Championship

His shank, and the resulting bogey, allowed Collin Morikawa to pull within two shots. That’s when Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, stepped in with a simple reminder.

“Just remember who you are,” Scott said. “You’re Scottie Scheffler.”

Scheffler responded by striping a 4-iron tee shot to within 3 feet of the ninth hole, the first of three consecutive birdies that put him five ahead. An eagle at the 14th hole, where Scheffler hit a 7-iron to 16 feet, made the final four holes the coronation that Scheffler’s season deserved.

Afterward, Scott had a message for his boss: “That’s the longest lead anyone has ever slept on.”

“It’s like eight months, knowing you’re going to have a lead here,” Scott explained. “It’s a tremendous amount of pressure, and he handled it super well.”

Players reflect on Scottie Scheffler’s season

Scheffler started the week at 10-under par and then shot 20-under (65-66-66-67, 264) on the following 72 holes. His total of 30-under par was four strokes better than Collin Morikawa, who shot the week’s low 72-hole score (66-63-67-66, 262). Sahith Theegala finished third at 24 under; he was the only other player within 10 shots of Scheffler.

Scheffler led the field in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee (+3.4), Greens in Regulation (54 of 72) and Driving Distance (338.6 yards). He was second in Driving Accuracy (37 of 56 fairways) and third in Strokes Gained: Putting (+4.1). It was another display of Scheffler’s unmatched ballstriking ability, and an opportunity to showcase the improved putting that was key to his dominant season.

“Last year I was playing good golf and I wasn't able to make the key putts at the right time, and this year I was,” Scheffler said. “That's really just the difference.”

Scheffler may have been voted the PGA TOUR’s top player in each of the previous two years, but his seven wins in 2024 were more than the previous two years combined. His 13 wins since February 2022 are more than double any other player. Including his Olympic gold medal, which doesn’t count as an official PGA TOUR win, he was victorious eight times in 2024 alone.

He will be the reigning FedExCup champion for the next 12 months, and it would likely take at least that long to supplant him from atop the world ranking.

“I'm proud of the results,” he said. “It's something I try not to focus too much on, but at the end of the day, being able to win tournaments is a great feeling, and it's what we work towards, and to be able to have as many wins as I have this year is really special.”

The rise of Scottie Scheffler

Scheffler won on courses both historic and modern, short and long, wide and narrow. From the expansive canvas of Augusta National to the cozy confines of Harbour Town. Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer could not stop Scheffler with the thick rough and firm greens that are the trademarks of their tournaments, nor could Pete Dye and his penal creations.

Scheffler held a magic wand for his first win, the mallet putter that he debuted that week, and his baby boy for the eighth and final victory of 2024. Little Bennett Scheffler has only been around since May but already has seen his father hoist four trophies. He still may fit inside the FedExCup.

It was a year that included a birth and an arrest, and he was victorious through a protest and an injury that almost forced him out of THE PLAYERS. But the trophies remained the biggest story. Through it all, he was unapologetically himself, sticking to the same philosophy that got him this far.

He relies on a simplicity that belies his achievements. Golf is supposed to be a complex game, but Scheffler sticks to the same fundamentals that his swing coach, Randy Smith, has been emphasizing since Scottie was a kid.

“Simple sometimes works best,” Smith said. It did this year.

Scottie Scheffler's impressive mentality and game

Warming up before the third round of the TOUR Championship, he was the only player on the practice range without a launch monitor sitting next to him. He uses a practice club with the same instructional grip that is often given to beginners, and he inspects the clubface, ensuring it’s square, before each practice shot. He often looks at his feet on the course, trying to focus on only his next step.

“I’ve always taken golf very seriously,” he once said. “I think that’s why I try to focus so much on the present, just staying present.”

The final week of the FedExCup Playoffs is a challenge to that mindset, though, because its format can almost present a premature coronation. The two-shot advantage that the FedExCup leader holds once he sets foot on the property is a reflection of all he’s accomplished during the season. There’s the temptation for reflection even though the final standings are still four rounds from being determined. There’s also a TOUR player’s inherent pride, which makes losing after being given a lead unacceptable.

“I should win the tournament if I'm starting ahead of people. That's how I feel,” Scheffler said. “So maybe the last couple years I've put too much pressure on myself to perform … but this year I did a good job of just staying in it mentally and keeping my head down.”

Scheffler is intensely competitive, whether at home in Dallas, where he gives 20 strokes to the mid-handicap members at Royal Oaks, or on the PGA TOUR. That’s why winning the FedExCup was so important to him. He didn’t want another season where there was a dichotomy between the vote of his peers for Player of the Year and the final scoreboard.

There is a finality to the TOUR Championship that adds significance. With the pursuit of the FedExCup complete, there is space to ruminate on the result. There is no next tournament or venue to focus on. That’s what made his loss here two years ago so difficult. He described it as “pretty challenging … to handle” and said he was “very sad” after losing a six-shot lead to Rory McIlroy in the final round.

Sadness is not an emotion that is readily confessed to by professional athletes, who hope to convey an intimidating air, but the 2022 TOUR Championship represented a disappointing end to an otherwise impeccable season that rapidly changed the course of Scheffler’s career. He won four times in a six-week span, earning both his first PGA TOUR title and his first major in the process. He rapidly ascended to world No. 1, as well. Losing the TOUR Championship may have been the only thing that didn’t go his way.

“I didn’t expect things to finish that way,” he said.

Scheffler won twice last year, including his first PLAYERS, to return to East Lake as the No. 1 seed. He broke par in just one round at the TOUR Championship, however.

Scheffler was still No. 1 when this year began, but he also was amid a winless drought that stretched to 51 weeks before he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.

That duration was defined by his struggles on the greens. It was a frustrating span because his putting kept him from capitalizing on his peerless ball-striking, and it was a shortcoming that was the source of constant questions. It led to the most scrutiny he’d faced in his reign as the game’s top player.

Scheffler had been experimenting behind the scenes with new putters, however, and had enlisted putting coach Phil Kenyon the previous fall. It was at Bay Hill that Scheffler debuted the mallet putter that he would use in each of his eight wins this year.

“I felt like I was kind of gradually building towards something,” he said.

He committed to relying on the same athleticism that set him apart on long shots instead of obsessing over mechanics. He also ceased seeking perfection on the greens.

He won by five strokes at Bay Hill while finishing fifth in Strokes Gained: Putting (he led the field in that metric in the final round). It was the start of a five-tournament stretch where he won four times, and he was one 6-footer in Houston from potentially sweeping them all.

Scottie Scheffler’s dominance continues to impress fellow peers

A week after his win at Bay Hill, he became the first player to win back-to-back PLAYERS titles despite a neck injury that nearly forced him to withdraw. Then he won a second Masters with an exquisite display of ball control on a blustery week at Augusta National. By winning the following week, he became the first player since Bernhard Langer in 1985 to win at Augusta National and Harbour Town in consecutive weeks.

It was reminiscent of Scheffler’s breakout season in 2022 when he won four times in six starts – except this time, he just kept going. He was away for a month for the birth of his first child, then returned to a chaotic week at the PGA Championship. He still finished in the top 10 at Valhalla, then had two wins (and a runner-up) in his next four starts. Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament presented by Workday was Scheffler’s first win as a father. At the Travelers Championship, he beat Tom Kim in a playoff after protesters stormed the 72nd green.

The Olympics may not count towards his PGA TOUR win total this season, but it was among his most impressive feats of the year. His Sunday 62 included a 29 on his final nine to make up a large deficit and win the gold medal.

Scheffler leads the TOUR in Strokes Gained: Approach the Green for the second consecutive year, and he is on pace to lead in Greens in Regulation for the third straight season. He is gaining nearly 2.5 strokes per round from tee-to-green, almost a shot per round better than Xander Schauffele, who ranks second in that statistic. And his putting is now a tick above average (+0.03 strokes gained per round), which is all he needs.

It was an incredible season that got the ending it deserved. Scottie Scheffler is finally a FedExCup champion.

Scottie scheffler caps monster year with tour championship win to claim $25 million fedex cup.

ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler capped off the biggest year in golf in nearly two decades by winning the sport’s biggest prize.

Challenged briefly Sunday in the Tour Championship, Scheffler responded with three straight birdies to make winning look as inevitable as it has seemed all year. He closed with a 4-under 67 for a four-shot victory over Collin Morikawa to capture the FedEx Cup and its $25 million prize, the richest in golf.

That pushed his season earnings, including bonuses, to just under $62.3 million.

It was the greatest year since Tiger Woods won eight times in 2006, including six in a row and two majors, all while dealing with the death of his father. Scheffler’s eight wins included the Masters, The Players Championship, an Olympic gold medal and the Tour Championship that enabled him to finally claim the FedEx Cup.

His seven PGA Tour titles are the most since Woods in 2007.

“We’ll look back on 2024 and it’s obviously one of the best individual years that a player has had for a long time,” Rory McIlroy said.

Scheffler took the drama out of the final hour — four of his wins this year were by three shots or more — and finally let out a “WOOO!!” as he stepped inside to sign his card. He hoisted two big trophies, the silver FedEx Cup and his 4-month-old son, Bennett.

The birth of his first child, his bizarre arrest in Louisville, Kentucky, before the second round of the PGA Championship, another Masters green jacket, Olympic gold. This was one season not soon to be forgotten by Scheffler or any other golf fan.

“This is a challenging week,” Scheffler said at the trophy ceremony. “I’m exhausted right now.”

This was the third straight year Scheffler came to East Lake as the top seed, meaning he started the tournament at 10-under par with a two-shot lead. Two years ago, he lost a six-shot lead in the final round to McIlroy.

Scheffler led by at least five shots after each round. But there was a harrowing moment as storm clouds began to threaten. He made two straight bogeys, the second one on a pure shank from a bunker on the reachable par-4 eighth hole. Morikawa made birdie, and the seven-shot deficit he faced after two holes was down to a mere two shots with 10 holes to play.

And then it was over.

Scheffler hit 4-iron to 5 feet on the par-3 ninth for birdie. He hit wedge to 3 feet on No. 10 for birdie, and then swirled in a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 11th.

“He’s not going to just starting making bogeys after that,” Morikawa said of the Scheffler shank. “He’s going to do the opposite and he’s going to start hitting golf shots. It almost brought his focus back in for a half second, and that’s something you can’t teach.”

Just like that, his lead was back to five shots. And when he holed a 15-foot eagle putt on the 14th hole, it was a matter of getting to the finish line.

Scheffler referred to the FedEx Cup as a season-long race being “silly” because everything came down to the final week at East Lake. There was no doubting the FedEx Cup got a most appropriate champion.

Scheffler only finished out of the top 10 three times in his 19 starts. He had a pair of runner-up finishes to go along with seven PGA Tour titles.

“He’s the guy to beat every single week,” Justin Thomas said. “I don’t think people understand how hard that is to do, when you’re expected to win, when you’re the favorite to win, when every single thing you’re doing is being looked at — good and bad — on the golf course, and how hard it is to get in your own little zone and own little world and truly just quiet the noise.”

Morikawa, the No. 7 seed who started the tournament six shots behind, closed with a 66 and had the lowest score of the Tour Championship at 22-under 262. He won $12.5 million for finishing second in the FedEx Cup.

“Six shots behind was hard against the best player in the world,” Morikawa said. “I tried.”

Sahith Theegala, who called a two-shot penalty on himself Saturday for possibly brushing a small amount of sand on a bunker shot, closed with a 64 and finished third. He finished two shots behind Morikawa and earned a $7.5 million bonus for third place.

Adam Scott, who tied for fourth, turned pro during the peak of Woods in 2000 and did not shy away from the comparisons Scheffler has created because of his consistent level of contending.

“I think it is on par with those great years of Tiger’s,” Scott said. “I think it’s very hard today for anyone to separate themselves as much as Scottie has. I don’t think we’ve seen that in a long time. I think it’s harder to do it today.”

And to think it was just over five months ago when Scheffler was questioned about his putting, and he was coming up on a full year since his last PGA Tour title (he won the unofficial Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas).

His season earnings of $29,228,356 represented about 9.2% of the total purse from tournaments he played. Woods won about 11.6% of the total prize money in tournaments he played during 2000, still regarded as one of the great seasons ever.

The $25 million FedEx Cup prize is unofficial, as is the $8 million he received from the “Comcast Business Top 10” for leading the regular season.

Scottie Scheffler's historic 2024: FedExCup win follows fatherhood, arrest, Olympic gold and PGA Tour dominance

Scottie Scheffler said he had "lived almost a full lifetime this one year" after securing FedExCup victory, capping off a 'nuts' season - both on and off the golf course – for the world No 1.

Scheffler closed out a four-stroke victory at the season-ending Tour Championship, where he never relinquished top spot at any point during the four days and became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2007 to register seven or more victories in a year on the PGA Tour.

It completes a remarkable few months for Scheffler, who became a father for the first time shortly after winning The Masters for a second time in three years, was arrested ahead of his second round at the PGA Championship in May and also won Olympic gold in Paris.

"If you can describe it in words, more power to you, because I don't think I can," Scheffler told reporters as he reflected on his 2024 efforts, following his Tour Championship win. "It has been a long year.

"I think emotionally right now I'm pretty drained. It has been a very eventful year but it's been really fun. You had the one weird spot there at Valhalla (the PGA Championship arrest), but everything else has been pretty special."

Scheffler had topped the FedExCup standings since winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, then added further victories the The Players, The Masters, RBC Heritage, Memorial Tournament and Travelers Championship during the regular season.

The 28-year-old American earned an $8m bonus for leading the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 heading into the FedExCup Playoffs, where he claimed $25m for his Tour Championship victory to take his season earnings - including bonuses - to a staggering $62,228,357 (£47.4m).

"I felt like I was kind of gradually building towards something," Scheffler said. "I had some decent starts to the year. I had a couple top 10s to start and I was close to winning in Phoenix. Then overall I was playing really solid, so I knew I was close.

"I made some putts this year when I really needed to, and that's why I'm sitting here with a lot of wins instead of a few. Last year I was playing good golf and I wasn't able to make the key putts at the right time, and this year I was. That's really just the difference.

"I'm proud of the results. It's something I try not to focus too much on, but at the end of the day, being able to win tournaments is a great feeling, and it's what we work towards, and to be able to have as many wins as I have this year is really special."

Scheffler added: "I feel like I've lived almost a full lifetime in this one year. It has been nuts. I think it just always comes back to my faith. I think that's the thing that just keeps me grounded, keeps me in the right frame of mind."

How Scheffler keeps his focus

Scheffler took a two-shot lead into the Tour Championship and was seven ahead during the early stages of the final round, before recovering from seeing his advantage cut to two strokes by playing his next six holes in five under to reclaim control of the tournament.

"Just nothing fazes him," said Collin Morikawa, who played alongside Scheffler for the final three rounds at East Lake. "Whether I was close in gaining some ground or he was gaining ground, it didn't change how he walked or how he played or how he went through every shot.

"I think his mental game is a lot stronger than a lot of people know. It's amazing what he's been able to do for this entire season and honestly this past three years now. It's been really cool to watch him."

Scheffler had previously squandered a six-shot advantage to McIlroy on the final day of the 2022 Tour Championship, although his latest win is the third event in a row and eighth time in 14 attempts on the PGA Tour that he has converted a 54-hole lead into a victory.

"Just think how well he plays when he's the guy to beat every single week," former FedExCup champion Justin Thomas said. "I don't think people understand how hard that is to do.

"When you're expected to win, when you're the favourite to win, when every single thing you're doing is being looked at, good and bad, on the golf course, and how hard it is to get in your own little zone and own little world and truly just quiet the noise.

"It's something that is just as much of a skill as being able to hit a driver in the fairway or an iron on-line. He's clearly figured that out very well. All Scottie wants to do is just play the best he can and win as many tournaments as possible, and he's doing a pretty good job of that."

Consistency key for Scheffler?

Scheffler has been the best player in the world from tee-to-green, with his 2023 total the best seen since Woods in 2006 and his 2.456 strokes gained in that metric last season nearly a stroke better than any other player on the PGA Tour.

Only inconsistency on the greens prevented him from being a more prolific winner during the second half of 2023 and the early part of this year, before a switch to a mallet-style putter in March helped add another element to Scheffler's game.

"It just seems like he's basically doing what he did last year, just putting probably a little bit more consistently," former FedExCup champion Viktor Hovland said. "When you hit it as good as he does every single week and you start making some putts, you're going to be very difficult to beat."

The switch of putter was initially suggested by Rory McIlroy earlier in the season, with the four-time major winner impressed by Scheffler's low scoring and ability to limit mistakes.

"The one thing I've always admired about Scottie is the amount of bogey-free rounds he shoots," McIlroy said. "You just go back over the last two, three years and you look at how many rounds that he'll shoot like four under par, no bogeys.

"It doesn't look spectacular at all, but it's just so solid. He doesn't really put himself out of position. When you don't make a ton of bogeys, the field has got to do something really special to keep up."

A Tiger-esque season from Scheffler?

Scheffler has been quick to play down comparisons with Woods at multiple points this season, but his sustained brilliance has produced numbers and consistency not seen since the 15-time major champion in his prime.

On whether Scheffler's 2024 performance is the best seen since Woods, former world No 1 Adam Scott said: "I think that's fair. I think all the stats back that up. I think that the results back it up. It has been pretty incredible.

"I think it is on par with those great years of Tiger's. It's very hard today for anyone to separate themselves as much as Scottie has. I don't think we've seen that in a long time."

Scheffler's FedExCup success came after entering the Tour Championship top of the standings for the third consecutive year, with his 13 PGA Tour wins to date coming in just over a two-and-a-half-year period.

"I think by the definition of dominance, I think that's literally where he's sitting," said Xander Schauffele, who started the Tour Championship as his closest challenger for FedExCup victory after two major victories in 2024.

"Since I've been out [on the PGA Tour], I think Dustin [Johnson] had a run, Brooks [Koepka] had a run, Jon [Rahm] had a run, Rory [McIlroy] had a run. But they were kind of punching back and forth between one, two and three.

"Scottie has been at the tip-top of the mountain for two full years now it seems."

Woods' dominance lasted a generation. Scheffler still has some way to go if he's going to match those efforts, but he's on the right trajectory to continue his dominance for many seasons to come.
