SCOTTIE Scheffler described comparisons to Tiger Woods as ‘a bit silly’, but how does the Champion Golfer of the Year match up to the 15-time major champion in his prime?

The world No 1 has been the dominant force of the men’s game over the past few seasons, with the Sky Sports Golf podcast discussing his latest historic major success and debating how Scheffler’s run matches up to Woods’ past glory.
“I don’t think we’ll ever see the entire package like Tiger again,” Robert Lee said on the latest Sky Sports Golf podcast. “I don’t think we’ll ever see it.
“With the fist pumps, you could see how into it he was everything. The whole Tiger package, when he was in full flow, was spellbinding, and the world couldn’t not watch.
“Scottie’s is a cold cat killer. He just goes around there, he’s turning up to do his job, and his job this week is to beat the field. He goes away, has quiet time with the family, and you’ll see him the next time doing exactly the same thing.
“He’s just different. He’s just driven differently. I don’t think the razzmatazz and the private jets and the money and the fame and all that stuff counts for much with him. It’s not about that for him. – Online.
