Scottie Scheffler capped one of the most dominant seasons in golf history by retaining the Hero World Challenge, cruising to a six-shot victory at Tiger Woods’ invitational event in the Bahamas.
His win at the Albany Golf Club marked Scheffler’s ninth title of 2024, giving him a win rate of 43%. The 28-year-old also becomes the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to remain the world No. 1 for an entire calendar year, per AP. Scheffler’s season includes gold at the Paris Olympics, victory in the FedEx Cup and the second Masters title of his career.
“I’ll go home, celebrate Christmas with the family and we’ve got The Match next week in Vegas, so that should be a lot of fun as well, some good competition. “Overall, just head home tonight, try and get some rest and continue to work on the stuff I’ve been working on this off-season to get ready for next season.” Scheffler, who also became a father in 2024, recorded a bogey-free final round of nine-under par to finish on 25-under and tie the tournament record at the Albany course.
