Scottie Scheffler beat Tom Kim on the first playoff hole to win the Travelers Championship to secure his sixth win of the season — the most since Tiger Woods won six in 2009 and the most before July since Arnold Palmer in 1962. With roughly five starts remaining in the 2024 season, how many more wins do you think Scheffler can realistically get? Josh Sens, senior writer ( @joshsens ): Five. Not being cheeky here.
Could happen. Odds suggest otherwise, as he has only won a little more than 1⁄3 of his starts so far this year. So maybe he will just grab two or three.
But Scheffler running the slate would not shock me. Jack Hirsh, assistant editor ( @JR_HIRSHey ): Sens, I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but you are off your rocker here! There’s only nine more tournaments plus the Olympics! I say two. My guess is that he won’t even play the Scottish Open so he’s only going to make four more starts.
I say he wins the Open and grabs the Tour Championship with his two-shot headstart. Seems a little unfair that he has the most FedEx Cup points ever under this format .
