Scottie Scheffler Aims to Break Tiger Woods' Record for Consecutive Weeks as World No. 1

Scottie Scheffler is pursuing a significant milestone in professional golf as he aims to surpass Tiger Woods' record for consecutive weeks as world No. 1. Currently, Scheffler has held the top ranking for 172 consecutive weeks and could achieve a total of 282 weeks at the top if he maintains his position until October 15, 2028.

Tiger Woods' record stands at 281 weeks, achieved between June 12, 2005, and October 30, 2010. Scheffler's lead over the second-ranked Rory McIlroy is substantial, suggesting a strong likelihood that he will remain at the top for the next two years, even with average performance.

While breaking the consecutive weeks record seems feasible for Scheffler, surpassing Woods' total of 683 weeks as world No. 1 will be more challenging. Scheffler has spent a total of 207 weeks at the top, indicating that he could potentially break this record by October 2035, when he will be 39 years old.
