Scottie Scheffler wins RBC Heritage

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Former University of Texas star Scottie Scheffler finished off a three-stroke victory on Monday morning at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links. The No. 1 player in the world, Scheffler won for the fourth time in his last five starts and became the first player since Bernhard Langer in 1985 to win the week after capturing the Masters green jacket.

Scheffler's current historic run has included victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, THE PLAYERS Championship and the Masters. The only exception was a second-place finish at the Texas Children's Houston Open.

Scheffler is the first player since Tiger Woods in 2006 to win the week after winning a major. With four wins and a runner-up finish in his past five starts, Scheffler is the first player since Woods in 2007-08 to record five-straight top-two finishes. Vijay Singh (2004) is the only other player to have such a run in the past 30 years.

The win at the RBC Heritage was Scheffler's fourth victory of the season and 10th career PGA TOUR win, and it came in just his 51st start since he earned his first career victory at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. Only David Duval has needed fewer starts after his first win to reach victory No. 10. Duval did it in 33 starts, and Woods is third on the list with 59 starts.

During his 51 starts since the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, Scheffler has recorded 23 top-three finishes and 35 top-10 performances. All 10 of his career wins have come since the start of the 2021-22 season. He is the first player to win 10 (or more) times on the PGA TOUR in the span of three seasons since Dustin Johnson won 10 titles between 2015-16 and 2017-18.

The fourth win of the season for Scheffler matched his career high from 2022. He is the fourth player with multiple four-win seasons since the start of 2000, joining Woods (10 times), Singh (three times) and Phil Mickelson (two times). Scheffler has now recorded 40 consecutive TOUR rounds at par or better, a streak that began in the final round of the 2023 TOUR Championship. He is now 12 back of Woods' all-time TOUR record of 52-straight rounds at par or better that was accomplished between 2000-01.

The win marked the 102nd official PGA TOUR victory for The University of Texas Men's Golf program, accomplished by 17 different individuals in the 98-year history of the TOUR.
