00:00And what a major season it was, dating all the way back to April in Augusta.

00:05Rory McIlroy in a playoff over Justin Rose completes the career Grand Slam.

00:11After an 11-year drought, he wins the green jacket for the first time in his career.

00:16It was absolutely thrilling.

00:18Scotty Scheffler dominant at the PGA Championship,

00:21responding from the year prior in Louisville when he was arrested,

00:24entering round number two.

00:26Cops might be the only thing stopping Scotty from winning so many majors.

00:30It is crazy.

00:31J.J. Spahn in a rainy weekend at Oakmont,

00:35outlost everybody else in the United States Open.

00:38And Scotty Scheffler wins half of the four majors this year,

00:42the fourth in his career, all coming prior to the age of 30,

00:47winning a clear jug and the Open for the first time in his career.

00:51By the way, I'm sure everybody saw this stat yesterday.

00:54Scotty Scheffler won his first major championship of the 2022 Masters.

00:59He's won his fourth major championship here at the 2025 Open yesterday in Northern Ireland.

01:051,197 days between those titles.

01:11Same exact amount of time for Tiger Woods,

01:13who won his first major championship of the 1997 Masters,

01:18won his fourth major championship at the 2000 Open.

01:21Time in between, 1,197 days.

01:27The comparisons are there, DRS, between Scotty and Tiger.

01:30Even if Scheffler said post-tournament yesterday,

01:33I still got to earn a lot before you can really put me in the same sentence as the big cat.

01:38Yeah, because we've seen a lot of people do some damage throughout their career,

01:41get on a nice hot run.

01:42But how long can you extend that run and how long can you be dominant for?

01:46There's only four majors of the season and we're already in the month of July.

01:49We're down all four majors.

01:50It used to be, what, the August month was for the PGA Championship.

01:53So now it's like, all right, how do I get myself up for the regular tournaments

01:56or the fake tour championship, which I don't even think the players liked and forced to change

02:00in the absolute format just to get them to keep coming back at this point.

02:03It's basically just a big money grab.

02:05You ever get yourself and say, hey, I'm going to walk into the mall and it's,

02:08hey, put yourself in here and the dollars swirl around and just try to grab them.

02:11Like that's the end of the PGA Tour Championship season where it's like,

02:14it's just about money and not really about winning at all.

02:16So it's going in the off season, then coming back for the Masters

02:19and re-gearing up to try to win one of those four just to continue your dominance.

02:23It's a tough sport because, again, it does take its time off

02:26once you get after a major championship season.

02:28And also, they are competitors.

02:30They can tell you, hey, it's a week-to-week grind.

02:32No, it's not.

02:32Like you do grind week-to-week, but you get really up for the majors.

02:36And now that you don't have any more majors,

02:37it's always interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

02:40It's almost like, yeah, Sheffield won two more tournaments or whatever.

02:43It's like, well, they're not majors, so they don't matter.

02:44Like when you're winning at that stage and Tiger fell into the same thing.

02:48Like, well, I don't know if I'm going to play in the AT&T because they sponsor me,

02:51but Tiger didn't play a lot of golf tournaments.

02:53Basically saying, I'll play in a few,

02:55but the majors are the only thing I'm worried about at this point

02:57because that's the only win that matters for me.
