Scottie Scheffler & Jack Nicklaus – “He’s Played Better Than I Played, And More Consistent”
#scottiescheffler #jacknicklaus #memorialtournament #pgatour #tigerwoods
Following Scottie Scheffler’s latest triumph at The Memorial Tournament, none other than Jack Nicklaus himself delivered the ultimate compliment — calling Scheffler’s form “better than I played, and more consistent.”
Scheffler’s win at Muirfield Village continues his dominant 2025 season, and with praise like this from the Golden Bear, the comparisons are becoming impossible to ignore.
We break down the win, what Nicklaus really meant, and where Scheffler’s season ranks historically.

These two together are pure gold!
He`s beating up on scrubs.
Pretty disrespectful to his opponent Jack!!
Holy crap Sheffler is boring. Good guy, incredible player, but zero personality unfortunately.
He's great now; but just cant see him catching Jack in number of majors…😊😊😊
When you’re 85, have 18 majors, you get to be SAVAGE…”he looked around a knew the guys on the board were not at his level” 😂
Truth. Facts.
Differences between tiger and s ottie one has integrity
TV analyst, former player, and former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley on The Golf Channel said Scheffler is a monotonous player to watch bec. his game is monotonous. I agree. Tiger was exciting. This guy is boringly good! And his unorthodox swing is something out of the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog.
I mean, this was absolutely stunning to watch these two great champions sitting right next to each other. As good as Scotty is,it must’ve been difficult to say the least to swap stories with the greatest player who ever played the game, it was an absolute pleasure to watch these two Titans of the game speak about their experiences! Bravo!
"Use the gifts that I have for good". Scotty is a gem of a human being!!!
17:58 is Gold!!!
Jack’s just soft, spoken guy really but he speaks of being a better driver of the golf ball than Tiger Woods, who you guys say is the greatest of all time and basically all these courses are set up for driving and distance hell of Ben Griffin could’ve hit some more fairways he would have possibly beat Scottie, would’ve been fun to see a jack in 1965 1966 against Scottie. We all know what would’ve happened. Jack would’ve destroyed Scottie by three shots minimum.
