Scheffler fails to touch Tiger's crown...
There is no denying 2023 will go down as another remarkable year for Scottie Scheffler.
He didn't win a major but the 27-year-old claimed the WM Phoenix Open and the coveted Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
He finished inside the top-12 players in almost every event he played and finished the season with a remarkable scoring average of 68.269.
That is the seventh all-time PGA Tour scoring average.
It will come as no surprise to you that Tiger Woods holds the record.
