NUCLR GOLF shared his quotes in an X post on July 21.“I have not seen a competitor anywhere close to Tiger Woods as good as this guy. That’s how high the bar is. And I think as time goes on, he might even prove to be a better one, he might even prove to have more longevity than Tiger Woods at the top,” McGinley said on Sky Sports (via X @NUCLRGolf).Scheffler’s latest victory marked his first-ever Open Championship title. But he’s been knocking on the door for years. He made his debut at the event in 2021, finishing tied for eighth. Since then, he’s played the Major four more times, never missing the cut and staying inside the top 25 in both 2022 and 2023.In the 2024 edition held at Royal Troon, Scheffler tied for seventh, showing how close he’s been to glory before finally getting the job done this year.
