Tiger won the 1997 Masters on April 13, 1997 and The Open on July 23, 2000. 1,197 days exactly.
At that time, Tiger was 24 years, six months and 23 days old, he ended up with 15 major wins. Nicklaus ended up at 18 major wins, he won his fourth (1965 U. S. Open) at age 25 years, 3 months, and 10 days
Scottie Scheffler won his fourth major at age 29 years and 29 days. I don't think Scottie will get to 15 major wins. My guess is he'll be like Watson, who won his fourth major at age 30 years, 10 months, 16 days. My guess is that Scheffler gets to nine major wins.
BTW, one of my biggest sporting thrills was watching Tom almost win the 2009 Open when he was nearly sixty. Lost in a four hole playoff.
Stanford/Watson trivia...he played on Stanford's golf team, but also represented Stanford in one other sport. What was that sport?
