The comparisons with Tiger Woods began a few years ago when Scottie Scheffler started to separate himself by miles over the rest of golf with alarming control of his shots from tee-to-green that resulted in big wins and a No.1 ranking for more than three straight years.
The next comparison could come this week.
Not since Woods has anyone completed the career grand slam at his first attempt, at least not in the modern era that dates to 1960 when it became a thing in professional golf.
Woods took only 35 days between his epic 15-shot victory in the 2000 US Open at Pebble Beach and his eight-shot British Open victory at St. Andrews.
Scheffler reached the cusp of the career slam when he overwhelmed yet another field at the British Open at Royal Portrush. Now comes the US Open, the major he has played more than any other, and a Shinnecock Hills test that will be new to him.
