Tiger Woods claims consistency has been the key to Scottie Scheffler's superb 2024.

Scheffler is the first man since Woods himself in 2009 to begin and finish a calendar year as world number one and equalled the record for most wins in a year by retaining the Hero World Challenge title this weekend.

The American carded a final round of 63 to seal the title and Woods was full of praise for his compatriot.

The 15-time major winner said: "He [Scheffler] doesn't really do anything wrong.

"If you stand behind him and watch the ball flight it is very tight either way.

"Yes, he's making a significant number of birdies, but he's not making any mistakes. No doubles, no loose bogeys here and there.

"He can do it either way. He's got amazing feel."

The Masters and the Olympic gold were among Scheffler's nine triumphs in 2024 as he equalled Woods (2000) and Vijay Singh (2004) for the annual record.

Woods added: "You can see it around his short game and trajectory control into greens.

"If he has consistency on the greens he's going to finish top 10 every week and pick off a lot (of wins)."
