Scottie Scheffler continued his historic run on Sunday at the Travelers Championship by becoming the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to win six times in a PGA Tour season before July. That’s right, not even Tiger Woods ever did what Scheffler has done this year.
But his dominance has been felt even more in the PGA Tour’s signature events. Put together by the tour to ensure its best players compete against each other more often, they’ve become a showcase for the World No. 1—not to mention an amazing way for him to pad his bank account.
Here’s a look at just how good Scheffler has been in these events since March—when he switched to a mallet putter.
This is absolutely crazy. And on top of that, we can’t forget about Scheffler’s win at the Masters! It has been exciting for fans to watch, although not so much for those betting on golf.
Other players on the tour might be getting tired of seeing Scheffler win so frequently. Matt Fitzpatrick humorously captured the current sentiment of the rest of the tour.
“Nicely put, Matt. However, it should be noted that Scheffler only received $3.6 million from the $20 million prize money, so there is still a significant amount of money at stake.” Currently, Scottie Scheffler dominates the PGA Tour, with others, including fellow major champions, simply playing in his shadow.
