Tiger Woods beat Scottie Scheffler to earn the top spot in the PIP rankings for the 2024 season. Golfers are ranked based on how much interest they were able to generate in the PGA Tour that year.
And while the result is surprising, it is not completely shocking as Woods' five competitive appearances last year managed to dominate the most extraordinary season that Scheffler had. The latter won seven Tour titles, Masters green jacket, Players Championship, season-ending Tour Championship, an Olympic gold medal and was also a part of the Presidents Cup winning US team.
Naturally, the US golfer also won the Player of the Year award. He became only the second golfer, after Woods, to win the Jack Nicklaus Award for three consecutive seasons. Notably, Scheffler also welcomed his son Bennett with wife Meredith in May 2024.
