Scottie Scheffler has been on an unprecedented rise on the PGA Tour in the last six weeks and now he has become World No.1 and earned another $2 million.
Scheffler was in complete control of the WGC Match Play final against the tenacious Kevin Kisner. He finally put the final to bed on the 15th hole, winning 4&3.
In the last-16, the 25-year-old beat Billy Horchel in what was a repeat of the 2021 final. He then beat the impressive Seamus Power 3&2 in the quarter-finals.
He entered into a titanic match-up with 2017 WGC Match Play winner Dustin Johnson on Sunday morning in the semi-final, but Scheffler was ahead from the 1st green.
He won the final in a similar style and overtook Jon Rahm as the new World No.1, an incredible thought when you consider he entered 2022 having never won a PGA Tour event.
