‘Authentic’ Trait That Puts Scottie Scheffler on a Different Level Than Tiger Woods Comes to Light

The Scottie Scheffler vs. Tiger Woods debate takes another turn. This time in favor of the current world no. 1. Ever since Scheffler won the 2024 Hero World Challenge, experts have been debating whether he is better than Woods. Being only the third individual to win back-to-back Hero titles apart from Viktor Hovland and Mr. T seemed to have raised this question.

Hours after his victory at Albany, Scheffler rose up the table for the longest streak as the world no. 1 surpassed Sir Nick Faldo at 4th. A table that is dominated by Tiger Woods, with two streaks that are more than 3X longer than that of the current world no. 1.

Of course, Scheffler is still quite young at 28 and has a lot of time to be able to match that record. Yet, he and everyone in golf know what a mountainous task it would be to surpass the 82X PGA Tour winner.

But there is one situation where Scottie Scheffler has Tiger Woods beat according to insiders. Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz hosted Joel Dahmen on a GOLF’s Subpar podcast a few hours ago talking about various topics. One of the conversations was about how good Scottie Scheffler has been in recent times. That’s what prompted Dahmen to say, “I think it’s cool that he’s also a great human being,” as the hosts approved of the pro’s comments. Drawing a comparison with other great pros like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, he further added, “It’s different than maybe some of the other greats is where they are more sheltered and they don’t say as much.”

Considering everything that transpired in 2009 after the infamous accident that eventually led to Tiger Woods’s infidelity scandal, the GOAT has been quite hesitant to talk to the press. He had also previously emphasized his displeasure about communicating with journalists as he said, “I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means.”

Coming back to Scheffler, Dahmen mentions, “He’s pretty authentic. I think he’s getting really comfortable.” Talking about Mr. Inevitable’s interactions with journalists, he said, “He’s starting to joke a little bit more with the media. He has to do it every week.” Putting himself in Scheffler’s shoes, Dahmen questioned, “What are you going to do? Give them answers all the time?”

Acknowledging Scheffler’s personality, the 1X PGA Tour winner, Dahmen, said, “He’s just a fun good dude and he’s probably a better dad than me. He’s probably a better husband than me. What else can’t this guy do?” Colt added to the conversation by stating “He’s pretty good at everything,” which received a nod from Joel Dahmen.

Scottie Scheffler has definitely left an impression on everyone in the golf community through his media interactions. So much so that the three individuals also remembered a hilarious conversation the world no. 1 had in one of his press conferences.

The funny side of Scottie Scheffler

Colt went on to discuss one incident involving Scottie Scheffler that he found quite hilarious. He led with, “You mentioned, joking around with the press a little bit. I loved the Tour Championship, when he shanked the bunker,” speaking about the incident that occurred on the final day of the event on September 1, 2024. Scheffler was questioned, “How did you shank it?” by the media to which he replied, “The hosel got there first. And if you hit it here it will go out this way.”

As the group laughed over the hilarious response, Drew further added, “What do you want us to say? That’s a sweet sweet answer,” before Dahmen confirmed, “Yeah, what are you supposed to say?” to end this segment.
