In a recent interview, golf sensation Scottie Scheffler opened up about the timeless greatness of Tiger Woods, highlighting the unforgettable experience of playing alongside the golf legend at the 2020 Masters. Scheffler, currently the World No. 1, expressed his admiration for Woods, branding him as the best player he has ever witnessed on the green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a press conference at TPC Sawgrass, Scheffler reminisced about the 2020 Masters, a tournament etched in golf history. Despite Woods facing a setback with a ten on the scorecard, Scheffler emphasized the sheer distinctiveness of the golf icon. “It’s completely meaningless to him; like at that stage in his career, what’s the point?” Scheffler remarked. He marveled at Woods’ ability to bounce back, birdying five of the last six holes, showcasing an unmatched resilience that sets him apart from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Woods continues to be absent from the Players Championship for the fifth consecutive year, concerns arise about his future in professional golf. Having participated in only one event this season and withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational last month, Woods’ appearances on the PGA Tour have become increasingly sporadic since 2020. Despite his undeniable talent, persistent injuries cast a shadow on the golf maestro’s ability to continue competing at the highest level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expressing a wish for a crystal ball to foresee how many opportunities remain to play alongside Woods, Scheffler acknowledges the privilege of sharing the course with a 15-time major champion. “Anytime you can stand up there and walk alongside him and compete in the same golf tournament as him is really special,” Scheffler affirmed, underscoring the reverence he holds for Woods’ unparalleled skill and presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
