Sunday marked the fourth major championship for Scottie Scheffler as he further proves why he's the best in the game right now. But one golf analyst believes there's a world that exists where he actually becomes the greatest of all-time.
Few golfers, if any, have ever been as dominant as Tiger Woods was at his peak. However, Golf Channel's Paul McGinley thinks Scheffler is well on his way to surpassing Eldrick if he can keep this up.
"The secret sauce for Scottie Scheffler is between the ears. That's where he's at the best. I have not seen a competitor anywhere close to Tiger Woods as good as this guy. That's how high the bar is," McGinley began.
"And I think as time goes on, he might even prove to be a better one. He might even prove to have more longevity than Tiger Woods at the top. Because, at this moment in time, it's hard to see him getting derailed because he's so stable off the course as much as he's stable on the golf course."
"And it looks like he's got that fine [balance] between golf being really important and loving it and loving to compete, but also that it's not the most important thing in his life," the former world No. 18 added. "That is the sweet spot there, to not be so obsessed with something that it's also still fun, and that he can leave it behind if it's not a good day."
"And I really do think that this guy is going to be around for a long long time. And it's hard to see what could derail him. There's so many things he's dealt with in life, as well as in his golf career, that he's circumnavigated and got through the other side."
Scottie almost feels unstoppable right now. And even if there's still a long way to go before he puts himself in the rarified air of Tiger Woods — he's certainly chipping away.
