Scottie Scheffler eyes third-straight Memorial Tournament title to join list of PGA Tour greats to three-peat

Scottie Scheffler is hoping to match Tiger Woods in securing a third-successive Memorial Tournament title this week as the world No 1 looks to join the list of golfing greats to three-peat on the PGA Tour.

Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller and Gene Littler are the Hall of Famers who have managed to win specific tournaments three times in a row, with Woods doing so at the Memorial - on a the Nicklaus-designed course at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio - from 1999 to 2001.

Steve Stricker is the most recent to have secured back-to-back-to-back titles on tour when claiming the third of his John Deere Classic wins in 2011.
