Scottie Scheffler was scared of Tiger Woods and “ran away” when they first met, his father says
Scotty Scheffler’s 2024 season has become the one for the ages, one that has been compared to some of Tiger Woods’ best seasons. As a young man, Scheffler couldn’t even stand next to the legendary golfer. According to Scheffler’s father, Woods scared the current world player so much that he ran away. Create a tweet
The cheffler and his father have begun traveling to the past where the PGA tour provided images. In the video, the cheper’s father said:
\ “It was a tiger to the opening of the United States where you escaped. You go into the ropes, he comes at you, and you run under the ropes because you were scared. Well, you know what Tiger is like now. »
Scheffler was very young at the time, but Woods has been playing long enough that the two golfers have played against each other several times and have a friendly relationship. Woods does not contribute more often, but when he does, he usually on the ground with Sheffler. The big winner of 15 times competed with Sheffler at the Masters, PGA, US Open and Open Championship this year, as well as briefly (before the departure of the Bois) in Genesis Invitational. Until Scottie Scheffler stops winning and playing so well, he will get compared to Tiger Woods. Even though it\’s hard to compare their careers, it happens all the time. Max Homa, a player who has played with and against both men, believes it’s more than just results that unite the two.
He told a story about how Woods once made a bad putt while they were playing together, but bounced it back and made his next shot as close to perfect as possible. He told Golf.com that it’s the ability to detach from the outcome and focus solely on the process that sets Woods and Scheffler apart:
“And I think both of those guys, from what I hear in their interviews and what I’ve seen, like I think Tiger does, they just pick a moment and go for it. And it’s so hard to do that over and over again. And that’s as great a skill as Scottie is good at.
Both players are often able to bounce back from mistakes without making them worse, which shows their true talent, Homa said. Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler are both good golfers, and their strong mental games also help them.
