Scottie Scheffler is not a person who likes to emphasize his successes, nor does he pay too much attention to it. The American golfer is known as a calm person on golf courses, motivated to win, but not so occupied with statistics, rankings or the future.

The 28-year-old golfer made a great feat, being the best player at OWGR for 97 consecutive weeks. It is a success that few can boast of.
Scheffler thus overtook Greg Norman, whose record was 95 weeks.
However, if he wants to surpass Tiger Woods, he will have to be dominant in the long run. Tiger managed to be at the top of the chart for as many as 281 weeks.
Before the start of the new tournament, Scottie responded to a reporter's question about whether he wants to overtake Tiger. The 28-year-old is proud of his success, but as we have already said, he is not so busy breaking Woods' record.

Whether Scottie wants to take the pressure off his back or is he being honest when he says that he is only thinking about the new tournament, it is difficult to give the right answer. The famous golfer is aware that only by winning can he hold dominance and first place, even though he has golfers next to him who are hungry for success and motivated by the desire to come to the throne.
The 28-year-old concluded, saying that rankings are just rankings, not worrying too much about it.
