Scottie Scheffler Ties Tiger Woods With Wild Stat After Open Championship Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the world of golf, few players have absolutely transcended the sport over the decades. Tiger Woods was the most notable, but players like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player hold a special place in golf history.

As great as Scottie Scheffler is playing, it's still a little early for comparisons. And they might be more appropriate with Jack Nicklaus than with Tiger Woods.

Scheffler's prioritization and compartmentalization is even more important than his suddenly strong putting stroke

Scottie Scheffler's latest major, a thorough four-stroke win at the Open Championship, is another reminder that he's mastered golf like few have.

The top-ranked golfer cruised to another dominant outing to claim the British Open. Scheffler, who entered the day with a massive four-shot lead, pushed it to seven at one point en route to his four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Nobody even came close to catching him.
