Tiger Woods' Former Coach Show Ultimate Respect To Scottie Scheffler
Tiger Woods' Former Coach Show Ultimate Respect To Scottie Scheffler originally appeared on The Spun. Scottie Scheffler has competed in 25 majors and has now won four of them and he's now just one U.S. Open win from completing the vaunted career Grand Slam. Scheffler has received - and deserves - endless praise for his accomplishments on the golf greens. But for Tiger Woods' former coach, there's an even higher level of praise he's earned. Appearing on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, Woods' former coach Butch Harmon had some of the highest possible praise for Scheffler. Amid a discussion comparing Scheffler to his iconic pupil, Harmon declared that Scheffler is the closest thing he's seen to the golf GOAT himself, Jack Nicklaus. "I got to tell you that the only reason I called in, I was listening to you talk about him and all the comparisons and stuff to Tiger and this and that," Harmon said. "I think his greatest attribute that he has is he's the closest thing to Jack Nicklaus I've ever seen mentally. He makes no mental mistakes. He dumps the ball in the middle of the green when he has to. His iron control is beautiful. "He reminds me more of Jack than he does of Tiger, Tiger in the winning ways, but Jack in the way he plays golf. I've never quite seen a guy that can mimic Nicklaus the way he does." To call that high praise is a bit of an understatement. Nicklaus still holds nearly every record there is for golf's biggest events, particularly with his record for major wins. Whether or not Scheffler can continue his winning ways and someday challenge Woods, let alone Nicklaus, for the all-time major crown is a very different conversation though. Age alone might factor into the occasion. Case in point, Woods had already won eight majors by the time he reached Scheffler's age. He managed to win another six between 2005 and 2008, coming agonizingly close to winning another five between 2005 and 2009. Then the injuries started to pick up. For now, Scheffler is about 25-percent of the way towards challenging the marks set by Woods and Nicklaus. Unless someone else emerges as a true rival over the next few years, he may be even closer by the end of Woods' Former Coach Show Ultimate Respect To Scottie Scheffler first appeared on The Spun on Jul 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.

New Glentoran striker Pat Hoban slams Tiernan Lynch saying he will 'never forgive him'
Glentoran new boy Pat Hoban has taken a swipe at Tiernan Lynch over how the last few months of his Derry City career panned out. In an explosive interview with the Derry Journal, Hoban, who made the switch to The Oval earlier this month, said he will "never forgive" the former Larne boss for "wasting six months" of his career. Hoban was initially signed at the Brandywell by former boss Ruaidhri Higgins, but following his departure at the end of last season the prolific League of Ireland striker found his opportunities limited and he felt he was being "frozen out".

"Of course I was frustrated," Hoban explained. "Even when I was on the bench I knew I wasn't coming on. "It doesn't affect me and my personality or my character. In terms of my career at Derry it does. It ended because of that. "I didn't get a run of games and couldn't show anything to the Derry fans this year at all. He just wasted six months of my career and, to be honest, it's something I'll never forgive either. "It happened to me before at Mansfield when Steve Evans got the job. The January window came and he brought in who he wanted and I was left in the stand until May. I always said to myself I'll never let that happen to me again but it just happened with Derry." Hoban was linked with a move away from Derry ahead of the start of the new season with Glentoran's 'Big Two' rivals Linfield one of the clubs reportedly interested in signing him. He said: "I was hearing stuff about clubs being in for me like Linfield and you're wondering, 'why are they in for me?' So I think they were trying to offload me at that stage. I firmly believe that but of course the club could say something different. "He (Lynch) then changed his tune and said 'you're not going anywhere. You will score 20 league goals for me' and that kind of stuff. He said I was part of it and we're trying to make Derry great again. To be honest I didn't believe it and I was right in the end." Hoban is now relishing his new opportunity with Declan Devine at the Glens insisting he cannot wait to get started. "I need to play football. I've probably got a couple of years left in my career and it was just getting wasted to be honest," he said. "There was other interest from the League of Ireland but I didn't want to go down and fight a relegation battle with Cork. I'd never sign for Drogheda because that would be the one loyalty I would definitely always have for Dundalk. "Waterford were interested but I didn't want to go there. Obviously the big one for me was Galway but that fell through for a certain reason. It's disappointing but things happen for a reason and Glentoran came in and said they wanted me and did everything they possibly could to get me. And that's what players want. They just want to feel wanted. "I know Decky and when I met him and Paddy, they couldn't stress how much they wanted me. I was like, 'come on, let's do it.' "It's a good squad. They'll be competitive when it comes to Linfield, Coleraine, Larne. I'm just excited to experience a different league and play through the winter. I'm just looking forward to playing again."
