This week at the Hero World Challenge, Scottie Scheffler is making his first PGA Tour start since going 3-2-0 at the Presidents Cup. A nominee for PGA Tour Player of the Year honors, Scheffler seeks to become the first player to win the award three consecutive years since Tiger Woods (2005-2007). The FedEx Cup champion and world No. 1 has already won seven PGA Tour titles in 2024, along with the Olympic gold medal. Also, Scheffler has never shot an over-par 18-hole score in 12 rounds at the Hero World Challenge.
