The astounding legacy of Tiger Woods is supreme and ever-lasting. What he has managed to achieve in the span of 27 years of his career is beyond belief and incredibly true at the same time.

And for any player who wishes to be counted in the same league as Woods, they have to grind hard for years. This is why when Golf Digest made a time frame for Scottie Scheffler to reach Woods’ No.1 status, it left the fans infuriated. Let’s find out more.

Fans defend Tiger Woods’ incredible record

Scottie Scheffler is one of the budding names in the golf world. The 27-year-old has some impressive wins to boast about. And as of March, he again became the World’s no.1 golfer. But he has to cover a long distance if he wants to beat Woods’ stats as the 1 player. Recently Golf Digest on their Instagram page shared a post that counted how much time Scottie has to spend on top to beat Tiger’s record.

According to Golf Digest “For Scottie Scheffler to catch Tiger’s total weeks spend at World No. 1, he will need to be at the top every week for 12 years and 3 months.”

Tiger Woods’ loyal fan base was quick to answer on his behalf to this assessment. Fans quickly jumped to Woods’ defense and reminded the world that no one will be able to replace Woods ever.

This fan called Tiger the best athlete ever. “Best golfer of all time and possibly best athlete ever.”

And so does this one: “Never going to happen. No one will break that record! 🤷🏾‍♂️”

Another wrote: “That’s crazy how good tiger was.”

All the times that Tiger Woods was No.1 player in the world

Woods has spent the most consecutive weeks (281) and most total weeks (683) at the top of the rankings. He is also among the three golfers who spent an entire year leading the ranking from 2000-2003 and then from 2006-2009. As one of the fans said, “That shows you how great he was.”

So far Scheffler has only one major win. Last year his first big win came at the Masters Tournament.  Scheffler went back to the no 1 rank this year and has been there three times. The first time he became No. 1 was after last year’s World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. He was on top until October.

After this year’s WM Phoenix Open, he ranked as 1 again. But after Jon Rahm took it from him at The Genesis Invitational, he snatched it back after the Players Championship. However, the 2019-20 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has to cover a long distance, and he has to do a lot more to be even comparable.
