PINEHURST, N.C.—Hard to imagine a golfer as dominating as Tiger Woods was in his prime but Scottie Scheffler’s 2024 season continues its juggernaut and merits comparison for the total consistency demonstrated thus far.

He just won his most recent outing at the Memorial, his 5th PGA Tour title this year, and now takes aim this week at the Pinehurst No. 2 site for this year’s 124th U.S. Open.
