Sheffller’s current dominance is akin to that of Woods in his prime, and it’s only natural the comparisons are coming along. Scotty Sheffller and Tiger Woods are once again being mentioned in the same breath as the world number one nabbed his second major of the year at the Open. Sheffller himself has laughed off the Woods talk, dismissing the suggestions and effectively saying Tiger is in a league of his own. I still think they’re a bit silly. Tiger won what, 15 majors? This is my fourth. I just got one/4 of the way there. I think Tiger stands alone in the game of golf. He was inspirational for me growing up. He was a very, very talented guy and he was a special person to be able to be as good as he was at the game of golf, Sheffller said after winning at Royal Portrait. Nevertheless, one record of Woods that Sheffller may have his eye on is his streak as world number one. Sheffller currently sits at 114 straight weeks as the world’s best player, while Woods managed a total of 683 weeks as number one, with his longest streak coming in at 281. Now, current PGA Tour player Michael Kim has given his thoughts on if it’s a record Sheffller can break. With Scotty Sheoffller playing so well right now, he’s going to be compared to Wood so much and this particular stat is an obvious one to point out. At the moment, Scotty is clear of the rest behind him, but with so much talent on the PGA Tour right now, staying as top dog for another 160 plus weeks is going to take some doing indeed. Responding to a question posed on social media, PGA Tour star Michael Kim gave an abrupt answer to the question.
