In the world of professional golf, Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler have been dominating their respective tours with unprecedented success. Korda just won her fifth straight start, including a major victory at the Chevron Championship, while Scheffler won four out of five starts with a Masters title in the middle. Their incredible performances have led to them being considered two of the best players in the history of their sport, with fans and experts marveling at their dominance.
One of the remarkable aspects of Korda and Scheffler’s recent success is the staggering statistics that have been produced to highlight their greatness. In their last 10 combined starts, they have beaten 1,163 golfers, with only one player managing to defeat either of them. Korda’s feat of winning five consecutive LPGA events is a rare occurrence, last achieved by Annika Sorenstam in 2004 and 2005. Similarly, Scheffler’s streak of W-W-T2-W-W is one of only five such runs in the past 30 years, placing him among the elite company of golf legends like Tiger Woods.
The accomplishments of Korda and Scheffler have been so impressive that they have set several records and milestones in the world of golf. They became the second pair of world No. 1 players in both men’s and women’s golf to win majors in consecutive weeks, a feat previously accomplished by Tiger Woods and Lorena Ochoa in 2007. Scheffler’s earnings in the last 42 days alone amount to $16.3 million, making him one of the highest earning players on the PGA Tour and putting his caddie in a lucrative position on the money list.
Scheffler’s consistency and success extend beyond just his recent victories, as he has finished in the top three in 23 of his last 51 events, beating the field nearly half of the time. His lead in the world rankings over players like Rory McIlroy is significant, showcasing his dominance in the sport. Korda’s achievements have been equally impressive, with her win at the Chevron Championship making her only the third LPGA player to win five tournaments in five starts. Her performances have solidified her as a force to be reckoned with on the women’s tour.
Despite their individual successes, Korda and Scheffler have also achieved milestones together, such as being the first pair of world No. 1 players to win majors in consecutive weeks. Their dominance in their respective tours has set a new standard for excellence in golf, with fans and analysts in awe of their remarkable performances. As they continue to rewrite the record books and set new standards of greatness, Korda and Scheffler have established themselves as two of the best players in the history of their sport, with no signs of slowing down.
