Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods in the 100-week elite club
Scottie Scheffler reached a new milestone in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) this week, marking his 100th consecutive week as the world’s top-ranked golfer. He becomes only the second player in ranking history to hold the No. 1 spot for that length of time.
The only player with longer uninterrupted runs at the top is Tiger Woods, who recorded streaks of 281 and 264 weeks.
Scheffler first claimed the No. 1 position in 2022 before regaining it on May 23, 2023, and has maintained it through a dominant stretch, including nine OWGR-sanctioned wins in the 2024 season.
His recent performances have helped him keep a lead over Rory McIlroy, who continues to narrow the gap in the rankings. In addition to the consecutive weeks record, Scheffler also reached another benchmark in cumulative weeks at No. 1.
He now stands at 136 total weeks, surpassing Dustin Johnson, who held the top spot for 135 weeks. This places Scheffler third all-time in total weeks as World No. 1, behind only Tiger Woods and Greg Norman.
However, things are not looking very great for the World No. 1 this season. After what was a historic season for Scottie Scheffler last year, clinching nine victories, including the Olympic gold medal, he was involved in an accident. While enjoying one of his Christmas dinners with the family, making ravioli, he ended up injuring his wrist.
This caused a delay in beginning his 2025 season. He kickstarted the season in February and is yet to clinch a trophy this season.
