Little did Scottie Scheffler know what was in store for his 2021-22 PGA Tour season.
Scheffler had never won on the PGA Tour before this season, yet in February, he won in a playoff at the WM Phoenix Open. Then, he won again. And again. And again.
Scheffler, who won four times in his incredible breakout season, was one of 13 first-time PGA Tour winners this season, but he undoubtedly went on to have the most success of any of them. He nearly won the FedEx Cup, too, had it not been for final-round heroics from Rory McIlroy.
There was a first-time winner in more than 25 percent of the PGA Tour events in the 2021-22 season. Those victories came in a major, a FedEx Cup Playoff event and more.
