Scottie Scheffler says Tiger Woods showed him intensity needed to be the best
World number one Scottie Scheffler credits Tiger Woods for inspiring the crucial change to his game which has made him arguably the best golfer since the 15-time major winner's pomp. Scheffler won the US PGA and Open Championship this year, with three of his four majors coming in the last eight events, and also has three other PGA Tour victories in 2025. He is the last player since Woods to win five tournaments in back-to-back seasons and while he continues to play down comparisons, he does admit the influence of golf's modern great sparked a turning point in his own career. 'Tiger was just different in the sense of the way he approached each shot, it was like the last shot he was ever going to hit,' said Scheffler, who is attempting to become the first player to successfully defend a FedEx Cup title in the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. 'I've only played with Tiger once in a tournament, in the 2020 Masters and I think he made a 10 on the 12th hole and then he birdied, I think, five of the last six. 'It was like 'What's this guy still playing for? He's won the Masters five times. Best finish he's going to have is like 20th place at this point'. 'I just admired the intensity that he brought to each round. That was something that I just thought about for a long time. 'I felt like a change I needed to make was bringing that same intensity to each round and each shot. 'I don't hit the ball the furthest, the things that I do on the golf course other people can do, so I think it's just the amount of consistency and the intensity that I bring to each round of golf – not taking shots off, not taking rounds off, not taking tournaments off. 'When I show up at a tournament, I'm here for a purpose and that's to compete hard and you compete hard on every shot.' Those are ominous words from a player who is currently top of the FedEx standings with almost twice as many points as second-placed Rory McIlroy. However, unlike previous years, when there were shots advantages to be earned from your place in the 30-man standings, every player now starts level par and the winner over four rounds wins not only the Tour Championship but the FedEx Cup and a 10 million US dollar (£7.4m) bonus. 'I'm maybe part of the minority. I didn't hate the starting strokes,' said McIlroy. 'I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here but the majority of people just didn't like the starting strokes. 'But you could also argue if it was starting strokes this week Scottie with a two-shot lead probably isn't enough considering what he's done this year and the lead that he has in the FedExCup going into this week.'

Scottie Scheffler Shares What He Took From Tiger Woods to Stay Motivated
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Fans have long been fascinated by the way Scottie Scheffler continues to motivate himself to perform at the highest level despite his tremendous success. Even the world No. 1 himself has reflected on the topic, as he did during his now-famous press conference before the Open Championship last July. Scheffler has always responded from the perspective of how much golf means to him and his effort to always stay focused on the course. However, during his press conference ahead of the Tour Championship, he delved a little deeper into the topic and revealed the role Tiger Woods plays in the matter. Tiger Woods of the United States reacts after finishing on the 18th green during the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on November 15, 2020 in Augusta, Georgia. Tiger Woods of the United States reacts after finishing on the 18th green during the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on November 15, 2020 in Augusta, Ridgewood, New Jersey, native shared an anecdote involving the 15-time major champion that has kept him going ever since. "My biggest takeaway from playing with Tiger (Woods) was the amount of intensity that he took to every shot, and that's something I've talked to a lot of guys about," Scheffler told the reporters, according to the presser's transcripts. "Tiger was just different in the sense of the way he approached each shot, it was like the last shot he was ever going to hit. "I've only played with Tiger once in a tournament. I played with him in the 2020 COVID Masters, and I think he made a 10 on the 12th hole, and he birdied, I think, five of the last six, and it was like, 'What's this guy still playing for? He's won the Masters four or five times. Best finish he's going to have is like 20th place at this point.' "I just admired the intensity that he brought to each round, and that's something that I try to emulate. If I'm going to take time to come out here each week -- like it's not an easy thing to play a golf tournament. If I'm going to take a week off, I might as well just stay home. I'm not going to come out here to take a week off. If I'm playing in a tournament, I'm going to give it my all. That's really all it boils down to." The then-second-year PGA Tour player and still winless Scheffler certainly played with Woods in the final round of the 2020 Masters Tournament. And it's no wonder why the experience left such a lasting mark on him. Tiger Woods finds the water for the third time on No. 12. He would go on to make a 10. — CBS Sports (@CBSSports) November 15, 2020 Woods got off to a very rough start in that round, with a birdie and three bogeys on his card through the 11th hole. However, it was on the 12th that his bad luck reached its limit: the legendary player found the water three times, which led to three penalties, faced an impossible shot from the back bunker, and ultimately carded a 10-hole for a seven-bogey. But, as Scheffler recalled, Woods bounced back like the super-champion he is and birdied five of the final six holes to leave Augusta National Golf Club with his dignity intact. His score for the round was a 4-over 76, which brought his score for the event to 1-under, as he finished tied for 38th. It's worth remembering that Woods had won his fifth green jacket just the previous year. In the meantime, Scheffler finished tied for 19th with a score of 6-under. It was his debut at the Masters, and also his worst finish to date at the Augusta National. More Golf: FedEx Cup: Fowler Falls Short as Euro Underdog Storms Into Ryder Cup Talks
