Ranked No. 1 in the world as of July 2024, he has held that spot for over 94 weeks (though not in a straight run). After winning the 2022 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, he became world number one for the first time.
Since becoming a pro in 2018, Scheffler has won 15 professional events, including two Masters Tournaments in 2022 and 2024. He also became the only golfer to defend his Players Championship title, which he won in 2023 and defended in 2024. He most recently won the 2024 Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship, both in the same month of June. At the former event, he defeated Collin Morikawa with a single stroke, and at the latter event, he won in a playoff over Tom Kim.
