Tiger Woods has been the main name on the golf scene for years and the person who attracts the most attention from the fans of this sport. For many, Tiger Woods is synonymous with golf, and the reason why they even know about this sport or have started following it. His influence in the world is enormous, and that is one of the reasons why Tiger has so much respect from the top people of golf organizations.
It is known that for years Tiger has been the most searched term when it comes to the world of golf, but this year things have changed. Namely, after twenty years, Scottie Scheffler took over the throne.
For the first time, someone managed to dethrone Tiger and, at the same time, become the most searched-for golfer of the year. The 28-year-old golfer had an incredible season behind him, with as many as 7 victories on the PGA Tour and a victory at the Olympics in Paris.
Tiger has not played much this year, primarily due to injuries that are an obstacle to his return. The 28-year-old golfer did not attract attention this year only because of his golf quality. He became a father for the first time this year, and also his scandal before the second round of the PGA Championship marked this year.
Of course, there are rational arguments for those who want to underestimate Scheffler’s success when it comes to Google searches.
Tiger Woods did not have many public appearances or performances this year, so this outcome could be realistic. However, in previous years we witnessed a similar situation: years when Tiger didn’t play much but was again the most searched on Google. The list also includes famous names such as McIlroy, Murray, DeChambeau, and others.
1. Scottie Scheffler (100.0)
2. Tiger Woods (99.1)
3. Rory McIlroy (43.2)
4. Grayson Murray (31.5)
5. Bryson DeChambeau (31.3)
6. Jordan Spieth (16.4)
7. Nelly Korda (15.2)
8. Xander Schauffele (14.5)
9. John Daly (13.6)
10. Rickie Fowler (9.6)
Scottie Scheffler was named PGA Tour Player of the Year.
This year, no one could even come close to Scheffler, and the dominance he had is very reminiscent of that of Tiger Woods many years ago. However, in order to become a legend of this sport, it is necessary for him to keep up the pace in the coming years and be at least somewhat successful. Golf fans believe that he is on the right track to do so. Do you think the same?
It is clear that Scottie is currently the best golfer in the world, but for even greater feats, it will be important that he has the right mindset. It seems that Scheffler should not have any major problems in the coming years.
“It has been a fun year,” Scottie said.
“I have only reflected a little bit, but it has been pretty surreal. I don’t play for legacy and that kind of stuff; I just love competing. I don’t think about records or achievements; I just come out here and try to get the best out of myself. Golf is a pretty difficult game.
I do my best to stay in the present. I am very grateful for the wins but when I go home, I am looking forward to doing things that don’t involve golf.”
A special honor for this promising golfer is that fans appreciate his work. The best confirmation is that the 28-year-old was the most searched golf term this year. Scottie is looking forward to the next season, expecting it to be as successful as this one.
Google has also revealed the most searched terms in the field of golf, which are not related to golfers’ names. In first place is ‘golf courses near me.’.
This is followed by ‘US Open Golf’ and ‘LIV Golf.’.
The controversial Saudi-backed TOUR, despite the fact that it is often the target of criticism, is in third place, which speaks volumes for how well they know how to attract attention. Greg Norman can be happy, no matter how much some hate the Saudi project. It is clear that Norman and the leaders of LIV have clear visions.
Do you believe in the LIV Golf project? Looking at the reactions on social media, there are few who show optimism towards the controversial Tour that is just treading its way to the top.
Golf fans generally favor the PGA Tour, given that it is a Tour with tradition and prestige. LIV Golf will have a problem gaining sympathy from golf fans, but if they work in the right way, we have no doubt that over time some can change their image. The final deal could be a great chance for them to show themselves in a different light.
