Scottie Scheffler
Corey Perrine / USA TODAY NETWORK7 PGA Tour Wins (2022 Masters, 2023 Players)
While putting the World Number 1 on this list seems pretty obvious, no one in the history of the PGA has won The Players back-to-back years. Only six players have even won The Players multiple times (the shortest gap being six years apart — technically Nicklaus got his three wins each two years apart but none of them were at the Stadium Course).
That all being said, you can never count out Scottie Scheffler. Even when Scheffler doesn’t win, he is always right there in the mix. He’s coming off a big win at The Arnold Palmer Invitational last week and it seems his new putter is finally paying the dividends in the one gap in his game (if you can even call it a gap). If Scheffler doesn’t take this tournament, he will still likely finish top-5. And, if he is within 10 strokes on the last day, that’s striking distance for Scottie Scheffler.
