Scottie Scheffler's enduring reign at the top of the Official World Golf Ranking has drawn commentary from professional golfer Meghan MacLaren. Scheffler, a consistent force in men's golf, recently participated in the 2025 Hero World Challenge, where he secured a T4 position. His performance included strong opening rounds, solidifying his standing despite not winning the event.
Scheffler's journey to and maintenance of the world number one ranking has been marked by significant achievements. He first ascended to the top spot in 2022, briefly relinquished it, but reclaimed it in 2023 following a victory at the WM Phoenix Open. Since then, he has demonstrated remarkable consistency, holding onto the premier ranking through a series of impressive finishes and wins.
His recent participation in the 2025 Hero World Challenge saw him post competitive scores, including a T4 finish. Scheffler expressed that his play was better than the final score indicated, citing missed putts and some unlucky breaks. He noted that while he hit the ball well, he needs to be sharper around the greens, attributing any slight rust to the challenge of the course.
