PGA Tour superstar Scottie Scheffler has now slipped past Dustin Johnson into third place for all-time weeks as World No.1, and he’s now going after Greg Norman and Tiger Woods.
Scottie Scheffler might still be winless on the PGA Tour this season but he has at least taken consolation from slipping past Dustin Johnson into third place for all-time weeks as World No.1.
Scheffler, 28, chalked up his fifth top-10 finish of the 2025 PGA Tour season on Sunday with a T8 at the RBC Heritage where he was defending his title on Hilton Head Island.
Despite another missed opportunity for silverware on the PGA Tour, the runaway World No.1 has at least moved onto the podium for all-time weeks as the best player on the planet.
Scheffler is now enjoying his 136th week as No.1 in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).
Much of that is down to him having built a huge lead at the top of world order last season.
Scheffler won seven official titles on the PGA Tour and nine in total in 2024, highlighted by a second Masters victory in three years and a first Olympic gold medal in Paris.
Things have not looked quite so easy for Scheffler so far in 2025 but he has still been playing nicely with five top-10 finishes in eight starts.
