That presents a 65.88% return on the $7,900 total wagered during that period. A number boosted by Scheffler's dominant 4-shot win a week ago Sunday in the Memorial at Jack's Place. 

Scheffler has won 16 tournaments, 3 majors, the PGA Tour Championship, and an Olympic gold medal during this remarkable 4-season run. Those event victories include two at Augusta National in the Masters, a pair of wins in the THE PLAYERS Championship, a gold-medal winning run at Le Golf National, and his victory in the 2025 PGA Championship. THE PLAYERS is considered pro golf’s unofficial fifth major. Scheffler's dominant run in 2024 helped him secure the PGA Tour season points championship. 

Almost as impressive, Scheffler has finished second or tied for second 9 times. And he’s finished in the Top 10 in 52 of his 78 events, or 66.6% of the time.

How Does Backing Scheffler Compare To Other Investments

The return on backing Scheffler each week he as played from October 11, 2021 through the 2025 Memorial outpaces the return on many of the major stock indexes, in addition to the price of gold. Only backing silver and Bitcoin during that span would have offered a better return than backing Scottie. 

October 11, 2021 was the first trading day after Scheffler missed the cut in the 2021 Shriners Children's Open. And the close of trading on Wall Street at 4 p.m. ET on Friday (May 23, 2025) was the last full trading day in our cycle. 

Here is a breakdown of where those major market indicators stood at the start of the 2021-22 PGA Tour season, where they stood at the close on the last trading day of the Memorial, and the percentage of your potential return compared to that of backing Scheffler over the same period. 

Scheffler Gets Tiger-Like U.S. Open Odds

Oddsmakers have Scheffler trading between +270 and +280 to win the U.S. Open at Oakmont. The year's third major begins Thursday. He was a high as +500 at BetMGM just 2 weeks ago. 

As always, shop around for the best price. 

At 28, Scheffler is in his athletic prime, if not his betting prime. 

Scheffler’s price of +270 tops the +300 he carried before the 2024 national championship. It also surpasses the number on Tiger Woods (+300) ahead of the 2009 national golf championship at Bethpage Black. Tiger opened that event with a 74 and rallied for a T6 finish. 

The action on Scheffler has been "similar to Tiger but in a smaller scale," SuperBook Sports VP of Risk Jeff Sherman told bookies.com in 2024. "His short odds have caused other golfers odds to escalate, but we used to get extremely large wagers on Tiger at even shorter odds. We see decent size wagers on Scottie but not in the neighborhood of Tiger." 

Scheffler hasn't finished worst than T8 since his 20th place finish at THE PLAYERS in March. 

The value on Scheffler has long evaporated. He was +1800 before winning the 2022 Masters. He was a negative money favorite at -120 before his win at Augusta this past April. Scheffler dominated that field in winning by 4 shots.
