Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda, the leading players in men’s and women’s golf respectively, are on unprecedented winning streaks, showcasing some of the most dominant performances the sport has seen in years.
Masters champion Scheffler secured his fourth victory in five starts with a commanding three-shot win at Hilton Head Island on Monday. This achievement makes him the first player since Tiger Woods in 2006 to win a major and follow it up with a PGA Tour win the next week.
Just a day prior, Nelly Korda claimed the year’s first major in women’s golf, marking her fifth consecutive win on the LPGA Tour. She becomes only the third player since 1978 to accomplish this feat, joining American Nancy Lopez (1978) and Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam (2004–2005).
The simultaneous success of Scheffler and Korda highlights a significant moment in professional golf, as both athletes continue to redefine excellence on the course. Their relentless pursuit of victory sets a new standard and captivates fans around the world.
