Scottie Scheffler, Nelly Korda are the biggest things in golf for a reason

New York Times  

The heights they are reaching have become comical, two golfers taking over their respective sports with such dominance that — at least for this moment — it’s difficult to imagine anyone beating them. “The best five weeks since this.” “The most strokes gained since that.” It’s become so extreme and entertaining that we decided, hey, let’s make a list of the most impressive and telling notes on Scheffler’s and Korda’s historic runs. For Korda, it’s the first time somebody has won five straight LPGA events since Annika Sorsenstam. That means that Ted Scott, Scheffler’s caddie, has made approximately $1.78 million this year, putting him at 45th on the 2024 PGA Tour money list, ahead of Rory McIlroy.
