Scottie Scheffler is untouchable right now.
The world No. 1 golfer has won four tournaments in five starts, including this year’s Masters and the recent RBC Heritage.
Dallas Cowboys legend Tony Romo is an avid golfer and close friend of Scheffler, and claims to have played over 500 rounds of golf with him.
Despite all that time on the course together, Romo said he’s never seen Scheffler disappoint.
“I don’t think I’ve ever played a round of golf with Scottie Scheffler and him not break 70. Ever. Which is insane,” Romo said.
“Now I’m actually starting to count it where I’m like: we have to be around 500. And not one day you’re off in golf, where you shoot 70, 71?'”
Scheffler’s dominance is undeniable.
The American has recorded 39 consecutive rounds at par or better in 2024 and is now farther ahead of World No. 2 Rory McIlroy in the Official World Golf Ranking than McIlroy is of No. 788 Tiger Woods.
Scheffler is on a virtually unprecedented streak not seen since 2000s-era Tiger.
“There’s guys who have their time in the sun and we see time periods where guys are amazing,” Romo went on.
“Now it’s still great and stuff, but it’s so hard to sustain over a long period of time like Tiger and Jack (Nicklaus) did. These guys are generational. I think Scottie is that guy. He does not have a weakness.”
In fact, Romo thinks Scottie is like Woods in one major way.
He remembers one round with Scheffler that was particularly reminiscent of Woods.
“Oh my gosh, I have not seen a guy hit a golf ball like this since Tiger back in the 2000s when I played with him. The way he was striking the ball, the compression, the trajectory, the spin-rate, it was impressive.”
Scheffler has spoken in the past about playing with Romo and betting on matches against him.
“I will say, last time I played golf with Tony he did beat me, so shout out to Tony for that,” Scheffler said.
“He didn’t beat me in stroke play, but he did take some money off me. But I was able to give him one of his checks back that he had given me before, so he was pretty frustrated with that.”
