Scottie Scheffler won nine tournaments worldwide in 2024, including seven on the PGA Tour, a feat not seen in male professional golf for more than 15 years. Many fans and experts have compared Scheffler’s current level to that of Tiger Woods in his prime, and now Woods himself has weighed in.

The PGA Tour has produced a documentary on Scottie Scheffler’s extraordinary season, which will be released on the Tour’s YouTube channel on December 23. Woods, who was interviewed for the documentary, gave his opinion on how Scheffler’s game is similar to his own.

Tiger Woods said (via PGA Tour),

“We see shots into the green very similar, how we miss golf balls in the correct spots. It’s not always pretty, but it’s not about the here and now. It’s playing the long game. It’s over 72 holes, it’s not a sprint. This is over a marathon. I think that’s the similarity between how we play the game” [0:08 – 0:25].

Woods also pointed out one particular difference in their game, saying,

“I did it differently. My game was very violent at times. We played differently. He slid on it, I snapped on it” [0:41 – 0:51].

The 15-time major champion also discussed one of the reasons Scottie Scheffler’s game is so effective despite his unconventional swing:

“Forget all the footwork stuff. If you just sat behind him, and you only look at the golf ball and how tight it is, he doesn’t move the ball very much either way.” [1:09 – 1:18]

He added,

“If you understand the fact that he hits in these tight windows and he shapes in varying degrees, you can understand why he’s able to control distance into the greens as well as he does” [1:27 – 1:38].

人気グループEXILEのボーカル、ATSUSHIさんが体調不良を理由に活動休止を発表しました。所属事務所の発表によると、ATSUSHIさんは3月中旬に体調に不調を感じ、その後の検査で一酸化炭素中毒の疑いがあることが判明したとのことです。この知らせを受け、ファンや関係者の間では自殺未遂の噂も浮上していますが、真相は異なるようです。   ATSUSHIさんは2001年にEXILEのメンバーとしてデビュー以来、多くの名曲を世に送り出し、ソロ活動にも力を入れてきました。しかし、今年4月の活動休止発表により、予定されていた公演は延期または中止となりました。事務所は、体調不良の原因が一酸化炭素である可能性があると説明しています。   一酸化炭素は無色無臭で非常に危険な物質であり、吸い込むことで急激に症状が現れることがあります。特に屋内での事故が多く、過去5年間で40人以上が救急搬送されています。ATSUSHIさんの体調不良は、仕事関係者との会食後に発生した疑いがあり、その際の換気不足が影響した可能性が高いと考えられています。   医師によると、一酸化炭素中毒の症状は数日から数週間後に現れることがあり、これを揮発性脳症と呼びます。ATSUSHIさんも現在、治療に専念しており、徐々に回復に向かっているとのことです。事務所は、ライブパフォーマンスができるまでには至っていないが、治療の必要があると判断したとしています。   ファンは彼の復帰を待ち望んでいますが、まずは健康を最優先にしてほしいと願っています。ATSUSHIさんの美しい歌声が再び響く日を心待ちにしています。
