Golf commentator Brandel Chamblee shared his take on Scottie Scheffler's performance at the ongoing 2025 PGA Championship and compared him to the sport's legend Tiger Woods.
Scottie Scheffler stands first on the leaderboard as the PGA Championship heads to the final round at Quail Hollow on Sunday. The World No. 1 played brilliant golf throughout Saturday to take a dominant lead going into Round 4.
Scheffler started off the second major tournament of the year with a two-under-par 69 on the first day. In round two, he shot a three-under-par 68 and followed it up with a brilliant six-under-par 65 in the third round. He shot seven birdies in round three along with an eagle to move closer to winning his third major title.

This fine performance by Scheffler was lauded by golf analyst and commentator Brandel Chamblee. He shared his appreciation in his latest post on X with a detailed comparison to Tiger Woods. Chamblee wrote:
"Scottie Scheffler is on his way to becoming one of the greatest players of all time. There has been no other player that has blended this level of proficiency and consistency in the strokes gained era, besides Tiger Woods."
He also added:
"For the third year in a row he leads strokes gained approach—gaining more than a stroke per round on the field—only Tiger Woods has done that. For the third year in a row he leads strokes total—picking up more than 2.3 strokes per round on the field—only Tiger Woods has done that."
Chamblee went on to name Scottie Scheffler, 'not Rory McIlroy', as the best driver of the golf ball as well as the best wedge player. The golf analyst based his opinion on how Scheffler drives with 'jaw-dropping power' and precision.
He also predicted that the 28-year-old golfer might win the PGA Championship this week by a wide margin and that J.T. Poston was the only one posing a challenge to Scheffler.
J.T. Poston currently shares a tie in the third spot with Davis Riley with a 7-under-par score.
Has Scottie Scheffler won a PGA Championship title before?
No. Out of Scheffler's five appearances at the PGA Championship, his best finish was in 2023 when he was tied in the second position. Besides the missed cut in 2022, the two-time Masters winner has had great outcomes in all his appearances.
The 14-time PGA Tour winner is yet to win three of the four majors, so, remains miles away from a career Grand Slam. He has claimed two Masters titles in 2022 and 2024. His best outcome at the U.S. Open is the T2 finish in 2023 and at The Open Championship T7 last year.
Scheffler recently ended his title drought this season with his win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson played at the TPC Craig Ranch in Texas.
