Six wins do not put Scottie Scheffler's name among the all-time greats — yet — but if that discussion is ever had, then his resume is shaping up nicely. With Sunday's Players Championship win, the 26-year-old became just the ninth player to ever win both the Players and the Masters. He joins Sergio Garcia, Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, Sandy Lyle, Raymond Floyd and Jack Nicklaus. Only Garcia and Scott are not in the Hall of Fame.
