Scottie Scheffler Recalls Memorable Masters Moment With Tiger Woods
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler took the microphone for a press conference ahead of his first round at the Tour Championship.
Scottie Scheffler, the current World No. 1 golfer, recently reflected on a memorable moment he shared with golf legend Tiger Woods at the 2020 Masters. During a press conference ahead of his first round at the Tour Championship, Scheffler recounted their sole round of competitive golf together. Woods notched a career-low 10 on the par-3 12th hole at Augusta National, but went on to post birdies on five of his final six holes.
Scheffler emphasized the importance of competitive instincts and intensity in golf, attributing much of what he's learned to watching Woods. He described the intensity Woods brought to each shot, a quality he has tried to emulate in his own game. Scheffler recently secured the top position in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, marking his first tournament win of the 2026 playoffs. He will tee off alongside Matt Fitzpatrick at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday.
