He won the Hero World Challenge on Sunday with a 9-under 63 to tie the tournament record at Albany Golf Club and win by six shots.in 2009 to spend an entire calendar year at No. 1 in the world, won for the ninth time in 21 starts, a tally that included a second Masters title, an Olympic gold medal and the FedEx Cup., took the lead on the par-5 third hole, stayed in front with a 50-foot birdie putt on No. 4 and never looked back.
Already the best in golf, Scheffler brought a new"claw" putting grip to the Hero World Challenge in a bid to get even better. He used the grip on putts from about 15 feet and in, and he finished the week third in the key putting statistic against a 20-man field. Thomas, whose last victory was the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, started well enough. He also dropped two early shots on the par 3s and twice had duffed chips, one of them on the par-5 ninth that kept him from making birdie in a bid to keep up with Scheffler.
