Scottie Scheffler became World No.1 in May 2023 and has held the spot for a whopping 132 weeks. The record still falls short of Tiger Woods' 281 straight weeks from 1999 to 2004. However, the reigning Open Champion’s form has drawn comparisons between him and the 15-time major champion.As fans laud Scheffler’s ‘Tiger-like consistency,’ the 29-year-old himself has come out to laud the legendary golfer. The four-time major champ dismissed the unofficial competition between the duo while admitting to be an admirer of the latter’s quality to ‘never be complacent or satisfied.’ The 19-time PGA Tour winner, who claimed to catch up with Woods’ old game on YouTube, said the latter was “a guy that would always give himself a chance to win.”According to Scheffler, there were only a few stints when Woods “wasn't the best player in the world” throughout his career.Scottie Scheffler said ahead of the Hero World Challenge 2025, as quoted by Tee Scripts:“I was pretty young back then. I’ve got to catch up on a lot of that stuff from YouTube and stuff like that. I would say Tiger Woods, when he was in the field, I think he was a guy that would always give himself a chance to win, and there were very few spurts throughout his career when he wasn't the best player in the world.I would say that's one thing I admired about him, he always had the ability to hit many types of shots and was always working extremely hard on his game. He was never complacent or satisfied with where he was at with his game, kind of always kept working, I've admired that about him.”Tiger Woods laud 'Tiger-like' Scottie SchefflerTiger Woods has heaped praises on Scottie Scheffler.
