Scottie Scheffler cruised to his fourth major title on Sunday at Royal Portrush, in the *exact same* timeframe that it took Tiger Woods to win his first four majors. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Scottie's ascent to the undisputed best player on the planet, examine statistics framing him as the closest thing we've seen to prime Tiger, and hear quotes from Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele about Scottie's mindset and intimidation factor.
