Scheffler’s actual scoring average on tour says plenty about his and Tiger’s dominance

ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler closed out his season with a 264 at East Lake, lowering his scoring average to 68.01. What makes Scheffler’s actual scoring average impressive are two factors. McIlroy said he’s typically in the range of 22 tournaments — that’s his average over the last four years — he added that was “when I was sort of in my 20s and didn’t have the responsibilities that I do now.” Not to be overlooked was how much the U.S. Open took out of him, when he missed a pair of short putts on the last three holes and was runner-up to Bryson DeChambeau. “It’s been a long season, and I’m going to just have to think about trying to build in a few extra breaks here and there next year and going forward because I felt like I hit a bit of a wall sort of post-U.S. Open, and still feel a little bit of that hangover.” Aberg’s knee Jordan Spieth isn’t the only player taking time away to get healed. “I think both of them know that, and I’d have no issue pairing them together in certain formats.” Divots Keegan Bradley is the only one of six captain’s picks for the U.S. that won a tournament this year.. Scottie Scheffler stayed atop the FedEx Cup standings since winning his first tournament of 2024 at Bay Hill, a span of 25 consecutive weeks.. Matt Fitzpatrick is the only player who started the year in the top 10 in the world ranking and dropped outside the top 25.. Haeran Ryu became only the second player from South Korea to win on the LPGA Tour this year.
