It has been obvious for some time that Scottie Scheffler is consistently outperforming his rivals.
For example, the player immediately beneath the World No.1 in the rankings, Rory McIlroy, admitted after the American’s Open victory that “he’s been on a different level for the last two years.”
Indeed, Scheffler has been so dominant in recent years that his form is drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods at his best.
While players and observers alike can see with their own eyes just how special a talent Scheffler is, one statistic also confirms that comparisons to the 15-time Major-winning legend are not too wide of the mark.
The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) is calculated using a rolling average of world ranking points per event played over a two-year period.
Scheffler has played 41 ranking events during that time, amassing 830.34086 points in the process, including another 100 for his victory at Royal Portrush.

A similar figure has only ever been seen once before, when Woods reached a comparable points average for four weeks in 2008.

A spell spanning June and July 2008 saw Woods average over 21 points for two weeks, before another two weeks averaging over 20 points. The high point came following his famous US Open playoff win over Rocco Mediate, where, like Scheffler at The Open, he earned 100 points.
However, that was his last action in a ranking event until March the following year after his season was cut short following reconstructive surgery on a damaged ACL, hence the gradual drop in points average after that week.

While Scheffler currently only has one week above the 20-point mark, his form of late suggests he may be able to stay in and around that level for some time to come.
