Scottie Scheffler continues to be the dominant world No 1 in men's golf, but how long will he stay top of the rankings and will he put more of Tiger Woods' records under threat?

Scheffler remains the most recent addition to the list of 25 players to have topped the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) since its introduction in 1986, with the American having four different spells at No 1 so far in his career.

The latest spell remains unbroken since May 2023, with Scheffler - as of October 12 - entering his 178th consecutive week as world No 1 and with a larger advantage over world No 2 Rory McIlroy than the Northern Irishman has over almost every active professional.
