Scheffler maintained his lead in first, second, third, and fourth-round scoring averages over the 2025 season.
The last player to accomplish this feat was Woods back in 2000.
Scheffler posted averages of 67.45 in opening rounds, 68.00 in second rounds, 68.40 in third rounds, and 68.10 in final rounds.
His season-long scoring average beat Rory McIlroy by nearly a full stroke.
While Scheffler has consistently downplayed Woods comparisons previously, he’s now climbing the record books.
“I think in the simplest form, I think it’s very silly to be compared to Tiger Woods,” Scheffler remarked when questioned about such parallels at the Tour Championship in August.
“I think Tiger is a guy that stands alone in the game of golf, and I think he always will.
“Tiger inspired a whole generation of golfers. You’ve grown up watching that guy do what he did week in, week out. It was pretty amazing to see.”
Despite believing the comparisons are ridiculous, Scheffler still seeks to adopt Woods’ approach and behavior on the course.
“My biggest takeaway from playing with Tiger was the amount of intensity that he took to every shot, and that’s something I’ve talked to a lot of guys about,” Scheffler said at the Tour Championship after he and Woods played together at the 2020 Masters.
“We’re in 20th place or whatever going into Sunday at the Masters, Tiger has won five Masters, he’s got no chance of winning the tournament,” Scheffler said.
“Then we showed up on the first hole and I was watching him read his putt, and I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this guy is in it right now.'”
