Perhaps some doubt arose at the moment when <strong>Xander Schauffele wins the British Open<\/strong> -his second victory in a major in 2024-, but the current world number one quickly cleared them by hanging the <strong>gold at the Olympic Games<\/strong> and including in his record the <strong>Fedex Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Scottie has won the street election, with the <strong>91% of the votes<\/strong>; second was Schauffele and third was McIlroy. It is about the <strong>the only player along with Tiger Woods to have lifted the Nicklaus Trophy three times in a row<\/strong>. Of course, last year it left <strong>Jon Rahm<\/strong> as a favorite to obtain this award, but his signing for LIV Golf penalized him.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Scheffler, from <strong>28 years<\/strong>can boast of an impeccable season, watered with <strong>seven victories:<\/strong> Arnold Palmer, The Players, Masters, RBC Heritage, Memorial, Travelers and Olympic Games. Although he won the Fedex Cup, the Tour Championship does not count as a victory, because without taking into account the handicap that applies in this tournament, the winner was Morikawa. Of course, beyond his successes, there is one fact that fans will not forget: <strong>when he was arrested just before the start of the PGA Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Today Scottie made a public appearance &#8211; by video call &#8211; at the opening of a PGA Tour store and it was inevitable that the question arose. <strong>comparison with Tiger Woods<\/strong>. The one from New Jersey does not even consider that there can be a debate in this sense: \u201cI think we always seek to compare someone with Tiger. I saw it a lot when I was a child&#8230; <strong>In reality, there is only one Tiger, and that&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/strong>. Scheffler also defined the moment of the season in which he reached his peak: <strong>\u201cI would say that the nine holes that have caught my attention the most are the last nine of the Olympic Games.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The Tiger Y2K Effect<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Although the number one in the world is not a friend of comparisons, <strong>His 2024 campaign deserves a place in golf history<\/strong>thanks to the aforementioned <strong>seven victories -1 major- and 16 &#8216;top 10&#8217; in 19 tournaments<\/strong>. <strong>Is his season on par with Tiger&#8217;s 2000?<\/strong> Although what Scheffler has done is truly incredible, it is worth remembering that <strong>the Tiger achieved nine victories, including three majors; two of them, with historical margins of 15 and 8 shots ahead<\/strong>. He was also &#8216;top 5&#8217; in 17 of 20 tournaments. The Californian took golf that year to its highest level of popularity in its entire history.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">To name other memorable seasons, <strong>In 1943 Byron Nelson scored 16 tournaments<\/strong> (1 major, the only one that was organized that year due to WWII) <strong>of the 30 in which he participated<\/strong>. Another of the campaigns often remembered is that of <strong>1930<\/strong> because it was in which <strong>Bobby Jones won all four majors<\/strong>the only time this has been achieved, although two of them were the US Amateur and the British Amateur, but they won the finals by 8 and 7 and 7 and 6 respectively. Let us also quote <strong>Ben Hogan, who in 1953 won the Masters by five shots, the US Open by six and the British Open by four. <\/strong>Hogan couldn&#8217;t be in the PGA Championship because it ends a day before the British began, and also on another continent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ENRIQUE MELLADO Updated 11\/12\/2024 &#8211; 19:45CET The fact that Scottie Scheffler has won the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-la-liga-breaking-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Scheffler, chosen PGA player of the year: does he surpass the best Tiger?
