46-year-old Adam Scott has seen it all on the PGA Tour. He made his debut on the tour in the height of Tiger Woods’ prime, and has been one of the best players on the planet for the next 23 years.
Australian golfer Adam Scott, a seasoned professional with 13 PGA Tour wins and a world number one ranking, has observed the sport's evolution during his 23-year career. In an interview as he participates in his 14th Tour Championship at East Lake, Scott identified the most significant change brought about by the arrival of Jordan Spieth in 2014.
Scott acknowledged that the competition has intensified, citing a quicker learning curve for young players and a higher standard among them. He noted that today's players come out of college with impressive preparation, differing from when he made his debut during Tiger Woods' prime.
