Scottie Scheffler has shied away from comparisons to Tiger Woods after becoming the second man to win the PGA Tour Player of the Year award in three consecutive years.

Woods was the only other player to achieve that feat when he scooped the prize five times in a row between 1999 and 2003, and another three times on the bounce between 2005 and 2007.

Scheffler received 91% of the vote to claim the gong this year but insisted he cannot be compared to Woods.

He said: "We're always looking to compare somebody to Tiger Woods.

"I saw it a lot growing up but there's really only one Tiger."

Scheffler won a record-equalling nine titles in 2024, including the Masters and Olympic gold, and it was his efforts at the Paris games that he remembers most fondly.

He said: "I would say the nine holes that stick out to me the most would be the back nine at the Olympics.

"The way that Teddy [Scott, caddie] and I finished off that tournament was pretty cool."
