First Tiger Woods Now Scottie Scheffler – Why Can’t Dominant World No.1s Dominate For Team USA?

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered the 2026 Presidents Cup seeking to improve his overall matchplay performance for Team USA. Despite dominating individual stroke play with 25 career victories, four Major titles, and an Olympic gold medal, Scheffler holds a 6-11-4 record across three Ryder Cups and two Presidents Cups.

Scheffler's team record has drawn comparisons to Tiger Woods, who famously struggled to replicate his individual dominance at the Ryder Cup. Heading into the event, Scheffler acknowledged that trying too hard has likely contributed to his underwhelming results in team competitions.
