Scottie Scheffler’s dominance this season has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s greatest players. With three wins, a major title, and several top-10 finishes, the World No. 1 is proving why many see him as the standout golfer of his generation. Among them is veteran caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay, who believes Scheffler might be the closest player to Tiger Woods in terms of mental strength and consistency.Mackay, who spent 25 years carrying Phil Mickelson’s bag and later worked with Justin Thomas from 2021 to early 2024, shared high praise for Scheffler’s game during an interview.“I never thought in my lifetime I’d see a player as close to Tiger as this man currently is. Scottie Scheffler just blows my mind every time I watch him play," Mackay said (via NBC Sports).

Certainly, his swing reminds me more of a golf swing from the ’70s and ’80s than it does with what’s going on here currently."He added,"Like Nicklaus and like Tiger, his ability to plug in and put everything aside, his ability to do that is as high or as effective, if you will, as anybody since those two guys. I think we can talk all day about his generational ball-striking and the fact that he’s putting way, way better. But I think what makes Scottie great — and I think he’s definitely the best player in the world — is where he goes mentally on the golf course.” (via Golf Digest)Scheffler is currently leading the field at the 153rd Open Championship after shooting rounds of 68 (-3), 64 (-7), and a bogey-free 67 (-4) on Saturday.
