Scottie Scheffler has become the second golfer to win both The Masters and The Players Championship in the same year, matching Tiger Woods' iconic achievement from 2001. Scheffler's recent dominance in the sport has drawn comparisons to Woods, although his coach, Butch Harmon, acknowledges that Scheffler has yet to establish the same level of longevity and influence.
Heading into last week, Tiger Woods stood alone as the only golfer to have won The Masters and The Players Championship – the men's game's unofficial 'fifth major' – in the same year. Now, he has company.
'This guy is not on his game, not playing his best golf, and yet he's still The Masters champion so you're looking at why - what is the secret sauce here?' McGinley told US broadcaster Golf Channel. 'He gets it done by if there's a dangerous hole...he relies on his brilliant short game. As off as his iron play was this week, what he did was when it came to a dangerous hole was he bailed out and relied on his chipping - he was the best chipper in the field this week.
