This is one of those statistics that feels like it should be impossible.
It took Tiger Woods 1,197 days to go from one major win to four major wins.
And on Sunday, Scottie Scheffler won his fourth major. The days it took him from his first major to his fourth major: 1,197.
Impossible.
But that number, shared by the NBC broadcast crew, certainly emphasizes Scheffler’s recent dominance.

The superstar American golfer feels as inevitable as Tiger once felt.
Tiger won the Masters in 1997, then the PGA Championship in 1999 before taking the U.S. Open and British Open in 2000 to get to four (and then he won the PGA again in 2000).
Scottie won the 2022 Masters, the 2024 Masters, the 2025 PGA and now is the champion of the 2025 Open Championship.
Scheffler went into Sunday with a four-shot lead, and aside from a random double-bogey, he remained in total control. Even a late surge from a couple other golfers couldn’t get close to where Scheffler was.
The world’s No. 1 golfer is at the top of his game. And yeah, in a way no one has been since Tiger Woods himself.
