Can World No.1 Scottie Scheffler Rewrite Jordan Spieth’s 9-Year-Old Legacy at the 2023 Hero World Challenge?
Are legacies meant to be broken? Well, one should sure hope so as the 2023 Hero World Challenge comes to a close on Sunday. And, vying to create a mark of his own on the event and the sport is none other than Scottie Scheffler as he aims to take home the title of the champion and the trophy.
However, it might prove to be an uphill task for the athlete. Regardless, many eyes are on the PGA Tour Pro as he tries to win the Tiger Woods-hosted event all the while aiming to rewrite a 9-year-old legacy marked down by Jordan Spieth.
The hype is reaching its maximum in the golfing world as the PGA Tour’s unofficial event reaches its finale on the fourth day in the Bahamas. However, topping the scoreboard currently is Scheffler who registered scores of 69, 66, and 65 on the first three days. Although the golfer is well on his way to victory, the question remains- will he be able to pull off the best win ever in the tournament’s history?
To answer that question, one should look into the event’s past dating back close to a decade. Conjuring up the same, the 2014 edition of the Hero World Challenge saw Spieth emerging victorious at the event as he registered a whopping 26-under 262, at the Isleworth Golf & Country Club. The 3X major champ clinched the win with the lowest score ever to be witnessed in the competition all the while boasting the largest margin of victory, 10 below the runner-up Henrik Stenson at 272(-16).
