NFL Icon Tony Romo Unveils ‘Incredible’ Scottie Scheffler Statistic After 500 Rounds of Golf with the World No. 1, Speculating on His Potential to Follow in the Footsteps of Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus

Former NFL quarterback Tony Romo has provided fascinating insight into the consistent brilliance of Scottie Scheffler – and explained why he believes the world No 1 can join the likes of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in the pantheon of golfing greats.

Scheffler continued his remarkable streak with a three-shot win at the RBC Heritage on Monday. It was his fourth tournament win in five starts.

The world No 1 has made more than $16million in the last 43 days alone, thanks in large part to victory at The Masters ($3.6m) and RBC Heritage ($3.6m) on consecutive weekends.

Across the 2024 season, Scheffler has now recorded 39 consecutive rounds at par or better. And Romo has revealed that the world No 1 maintains those standards out of competition, too.

The former Cowboys quarterback claims to have played alongside Scheffler hundreds of times but has never seen him have a bad 18 holes.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever played a round of golf with Scottie Scheffler and him not break 70. Ever,’ Romo said. ‘Which is insane.

‘Now I’m actually starting to count it where I’m like: we have to be around 500. And not one day you’re off in golf, where you shoot 70, 71?’

He added: ‘There are guys who have their time in the sun… but it’s so hard to sustain over a long period of time. Like Tiger, Jack did, (Ben) Hogan. These guys are generational.. I think Scottie is that guy.

‘He does not have a weakness and almost anybody I play with, there’s a weakness somewhere.’

One particular round left Romo gushing: ‘Oh my gosh, I have not seen a guy hit a golf ball like this since Tiger back in the 2000s when I played with him.’

Scheffler closed out victory on Monday with a bogey on 18 – before then, the world No 1 had gone 68 consecutive holes without dropping a shot. That streak stretched back to the third hole of Thursday’s opening round.

Speaking at the Invited Celebrity Classic, Romo said Scheffler has the ‘ability to autocorrect’ after making a mistake.

‘He’s had days where he’s played poorly, and he’s one-over after six and I’m thinking: he should be seven-over,’ Romo continued.

‘Then the next day he’s seven-under after six. All of a sudden he just gets it back and the next shot he has the ability to autocorrect.

‘Like his pitches – he’s one of the best pitchers ever, his short game is incredible. Remember Tiger? If he putts well, he wins. If not, he’s in the mix!’
