Scottie Scheffler's remarkable achievement at the American Express has further cemented his status as one of the most dominant players on the PGA Tour. The 29-year-old's 20th tour win, which came four shots clear of overnight leader Si-Woo Kim, has raised eyebrows and sparked comparisons with golfing legends Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
Scheffler's impressive performance has seen him join an exclusive club of players who have achieved the milestone of winning 20 PGA Tour events. The American's victory has also made him the first player since Rory McIlroy in 2021 to reach this mark, while also earning a lifetime exemption on the American circuit.
The young star's achievement is even more impressive when considering that he has done so in just 1,442 days after his first tour win. Woods took an astonishing 1,351 days to achieve this feat, and Nicklaus took 127 events to reach the milestone.
Scheffler's victory also marked a significant milestone in his career, making him the third player - after Woods and McIlroy - to win $100m on the PGA Tour. His impressive performance has seen him post impressive stats, including seven birdies and a closing six-under 66 that secured his first tour event of the season.
Despite being in awe of his own achievement, Scheffler remains grounded and focused on the future. "It's pretty wild," he said after his victory. "I've had some nice wins out there. It has been special and I try not to think about that stuff too much."
As for his plans moving forward, Scheffler is looking to get some rest before heading back onto the course. "Going into the season, I was just trying to do the things I needed to do in order to be prepared to come out and play this week," he explained. "I'm going to go home, get some rest and kind of rinse and repeat."
Scheffler's remarkable achievement has sent shockwaves through the golfing world, with many fans and pundits hailing him as one of the most exciting young players on the tour. With his impressive stats and clutch performances, Scheffler is undoubtedly on course to become one of the all-time greats in the sport.

20 tour wins? thats insane! and to think he only took 1,442 days to get there 
its like he was born with a golf club in his hands lol 
anyway, now hes part of that exclusive club with the legends like tiger woods and jack nicklaus 
gotta say, im loving his humility about it too 
"trying not to think about that stuff too much" 
sounds like someone who actually has a head on their shoulders 
So I'm thinking... Scottie Scheffler's 20th win is like a diagram with many lines intersecting - he's joining an exclusive club, but it's not just about numbers, it's about consistency 
. He's been crushing it for years, and now everyone's talking 
. His stats are crazy 
. I think what's even more impressive is how quickly he got here - 1,442 days? That's like a sprint 
compared to the legends who took years to achieve this feat 
. Anyway, Scheffler's on fire 
and we can't wait to see what's next for him!
. I mean, I know it's impressive when you consider the time it took for them to achieve this milestone too... 1,442 days for Scheffler? That's crazy fast 
.
That's insane! He needs to keep that form going if he wants to stay at the top of the leaderboard 
.
. He's not getting caught up in all the hype and instead focusing on the next tournament 
. That's what I love to see in a champion. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings from this talented young star 
️!
He's officially a pro at golf now 
The guy's got skills for days 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's had an amazing run of form and it's awesome for him to be breaking records and making history on the tour. But let's not forget that this is a sport where players can have hot streaks and then completely tank in their next few events. I'm still waiting to see how he performs under pressure over the course of a full season, rather than just in one major tournament. Plus, $100m on the PGA Tour? That's a pretty big number - is that really sustainable for anyone to achieve? 
and to think he did it all in like, what? Half that time than Woods or Nicklaus... wowzers 
! He's just so dominant out there on the course, it's like he's unstoppable 
. He's definitely in the same league as Woods and Nicklaus now... no surprise to me that folks are hailing him as one of the most exciting young players out there 
I mean, 20 tour wins at just 29? That's insane! And to think he's only been doing this for like 4 years since his first win 
. The fact that he's staying humble and focused despite all the attention is a testament to his class 
. One thing's for sure, though: Scottie Scheffler is one of the most exciting players on tour right now 
.
