Despite his recent putting woes, Scottie Scheffler still comfortably sits atop the Official World Golf Rankings. If you really break down the statistics, his ball striking prowess is bordering on other worldly, and has been for around two years now. Almost every single week during that period, Scheffler is right at the top end of the Strokes Gained tee-to-green charts, in a show of consistency that is both unrivalled and astonishing.
According to statistics compiled by Data Golf, over the past two years on all major tours, Scheffler sits firmly at number one in total Strokes Gained, but it is how he has compiled this number one ranking that is truly remarkable when you consider he is the 214th ranked player in Strokes Gained putting. He is number four for Strokes Gained around the green, number one for approach shots and number two off the tee.
