Just how good is Scheffler?

[Imurg]

A stat I heard on Precision Golf's Live YouTube last night was....the exact numbers may be slightly different but you'll get the gist.

Scheffler's win rate from a 36 hole lead is about 40%
Jack's was about 60%
Tiger's was 86%.

So he's good but he's got to keep it going a few more years yet.

Stats can be twisted though. It's about wins overall. Tiger was a monster from ahead, players often looked psychologically beaten if he was in the lead. Maybe Scheffler chases better than Tiger, what are the stats there? What matters is after 72 holes, nothing else.

Woods was winning pretty much from the moment his career started where as it has taken Scottie a few years to get where he is.

Woods also had an aura about him that I have not seen with any other player.
He had beaten most before a ball had been struck.

Monty was also dominant in Europe for a number of years and if you listen to the players that played on the tour they say that as soon as you saw his name they knew they were playing for second place.

I think there is far, far more strength in depth now than ever — way more so than the late 90s ans early 00s and certainly more than 15 years ago when Luke Donald, Westwood and Kaymer were vying for No. 1 status (which is pretty much when Rory started to dominate..)
