Bubba Watson is ranking Scottie Scheffler's historic 2024 season as the best in PGA Tour history, even ahead of Tiger Woods' memorable 2000 campaign. Speaking to Sean Zak of Golf.com, Watson explained Scheffler's 2024 was "the best we've ever seen" because he did it when the level of competition on the PGA Tour was as high as it has ever been.

Golf superstar Scottie Scheffler found himself ranked number one according to the Official World Golf Ranking on Wednesday, just hours before he was scheduled to tee off at 2:03 p.m. ET at the Texas Children's Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course on Thursday.

Scheffler enjoyed a strong showing in the opening round of the Houston Open – his last PGA Tour event before heading to the Masters. The 28-year-old enjoyed a bogey-free start, hitting three bogeys and finding his rhythm on the back nine.
