As golf fans are well aware, Scottie Scheffler is on an absolute heater again. Actually, he never really got off one. Research shows betting on the World No. 1 to win every week for the past three-plus years would have been much more profitable than putting your money in the stock market.

Scottie Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament last week and made all kinds of history in the process. A few months ago it felt somewhat fair to wonder if we were in for a year headlined by someone else other than the world number one, particularly when Rory McIlroy won the Masters.
