Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods with historic multi-win PGA feat

Scheffler, pulling off two consecutive successful seasons, became the only one to achieve a feat that only Tiger Woods has managed before. That is maintaining a record of six of more wins in multiple seasons since 1983. The 2025 season began on a stressful note for Scheffler as he was recovering from a right-hand injury that he sustained back in December of 2024. 

However, he did not take long to bounce back to make sure that he is reigning at the top in the official World Golf Ranking. He retained his title at the Muirfield Village Golf Club with a four-stroke win against Ben Griffin. And this, too, placed his name as the only one alongside Woods to achieve this feat. 

With impeccable performances throughout the year, top 25 finishes is all 20 starts, 17 top-10 finishes, and no missed cuts, Scheffler indeed made sure to secure the award with his best efforts.
