Scottie Scheffler makes his feelings clear about “miraculous” Tiger Woods ability

Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, has recently expressed admiration for Tiger Woods’ skills. Scheffler made an appearance before the media at the Genesis Invitational, where he made these comments. PGA Tour writer, Paul Hodowanic, shared the clip of his interview on February 17 on X. Scheffler can be heard saying:

“What Tiger is able to do off of his surgeries, long layoffs to just come out and compete with us is pretty miraculous. And, you know, I’m trying to give myself a little bit of grace and some patience, you know, kind of getting back into the swing of things. And I did some things in the last few weeks that I’m happy with, and definitely some things that I need to improve on.”

In addition to that, Scottie Scheffler secured a tie for third finish at the Genesis Invitational. The World No. 1 posted a 4-over par in the third round, which included three bogeys. It was his first time recording several bogeys on the same nine in around 2000 days.

He lost 3.893 strokes on the greens and scrambled on just four of seven attempts while losing over half a stroke off the tee and sinking only 34 feet of putts. Moreover, Scottie Scheffler addressed his mistakes in an interview after the match.

He missed early birdie chances and carded a 2-over 74, ending Saturday five strokes behind leader Patrick Rodgers.
