Scheffler Says Comparisons to Woods 'a Bit Silly'
COLERAINE, NORTHERN IRELAND, JUL 22 – Scottie Scheffler won the British Open by four shots, marking his third major victory and fourth win in 2025 as he maintained a dominant season with minimal bogeys.
- Sunday, Scottie Scheffler clinched the British Open at Royal Portrush, winning by four shots, and claimed the claret jug for the third leg of a career Grand Slam.
- Earlier this year, Scheffler, first player since J.H. Taylor, was slowed by a hand puncture wound from cutting ravioli with a wine glass, affecting his early season performance.
- Under pressure, Scheffler said, `to only have one double — really one over-par hole in the last 36 holes of a major championship — that's how you're able to win these tournaments.`
- Xander Schauffele said, `I don't think we thought the golfing world would see someone as dominant as Tiger come through so soon, and here's Scottie sort of taking that throne of dominance`, recognizing Scheffler's exceptional performance.
- Analysts highlight generational parallels, as researchers at the PGA Tour found Scheffler and Woods each took 1,197 days between their first and fourth majors, underscoring sustained dominance.
