Facebook Tweet Email Link Every superhero has an origin story and Scottie Scheffler’s narrative arc can be traced back to November 15, 2020 – a series of events that barely anybody noticed at the time. That was the day Scheffler and Tiger Woods played together in the Masters tournament: the first and only time that they’ve ever played together. Despite the fact Woods was defending champion, he was out of contention on the final day.
