Tiger Woods is always dominating the world ranking, despite being not in the middle of the entrance of the elite league of skotti shellfler.
Tiger Woods always dominates the ranking -Is it only for a new star like Scotty Chefrup?
Since the creation in April 1986, OWGR was the most important way to judge a male professional golfer. According to the current rankings, Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer in the region, reaching the milestone while still holding second place in the rankings. That’s 100 weeks in one position, 65 of which were consecutive weeks. Tiger Woods still dominates the world rankings despite his absence as Scottie Scheffler enters the elite league
Scotty Scheffler’s streak of success began at the end of 2022 after winning the Waste Management Phoenix Open two years ago. He also built on that winning streak by winning six events during the 2024 season, not to mention the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. However, despite the entry into an elite club with Rory Makilroy, Dustin Johnson and others, he could not defeat the record of Taiger Woods!
Golf Digest went to his official Instagram account a few hours ago and noted the feat of Scotti Sheffler’s victory with four other existing participants. Congratulations for the prize, they wrote: “Scotti Sheffler joins Elite Company as a fifth player who will spend 100 weeks in the number one world. 👏” But while Mr. T struggled to bounce back from injury, he remains unbeatable in modern golf. Scottie Scheffler still had the lowest top time. Rory McIlroy has spent 122 weeks at No. 3, Dustin Johnson spent 135 weeks at the top before moving to LIV Golf, and Greg Norman, in his prime, held the position for a whopping 331 weeks. Tiger Woods still leads the way with 683 weeks atop the OWGR list. He first reached No. 1 in June 1997.
Woods dominated throughout the first decade of the 21st century, ranking No. 1 in the world from August 1999 to September 2004. This is the most consecutive weeks a golfer has spent at the top of the rankings, 264. He broke his record by holding the position again from June 2005 to October 2010 (281 weeks). This is still the best number. Tiger Woods’ record is so high that the remaining four players can only reach it after adding up all the weeks they were in the lead.
Of course, there’s a reason why Tiger Woods is still considered the greatest golfer of all time, even at 48 years old. But this year Scottie Scheffler followed in Mr. T’s footsteps and shared the unique winning record that the 48-year-old once held.
Scottie Scheffler gave it his all to win the Augusta National trophy in just his fifth appearance. He shot a final round 68 to win by four strokes over Ludvig Aberg, who finished at seven under par. With this win, he tied Tiger Woods with winning the Masters and the Players Championship in the same season. He won the player’s championship in March and broke Brian Harman, Zander Shaoufel, and Wyndam Clark. Sheffler finished with the 20th score. Tiger Woods achieved this winning feat almost 20 years ago in 2001. Do you think Scottie Scheffler can follow suit in other areas? Let us know in the comments section below.
