Scottie Scheffler Shares Hilarious Golf Story Ahead of Championship
UPDATE: Just hours before the start of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has fans buzzing with laughter over a hilarious golf story that underscores the unexpected twists of friendship.
In a light-hearted moment shared during a pre-tournament press conference, Scheffler recounted a time when a friend mistakenly believed he would score a free round of golf. The incident took place five years ago at a public course, and it has since become a running joke between the two.
“I remember the last time I didn’t get to play for a round of golf and one of my buddies in the pro shop had to pay for the round of golf. That was pretty funny,” Scheffler recalled. As he and his friend approached the pro shop, he greeted the manager, saying, “Hey, man, I’d like to pay for the round, we’re teeing off at 2:00 p.m..
The pro, however, responded, “No, you’re good.” Scheffler’s friend was thrilled, thinking he’d snagged a freebie. But the punchline came swiftly: “Actually, you’ve got to pay,” the pro quipped, leaving them both laughing.
This amusing tale highlights the camaraderie common among golfers, especially as Scheffler prepares for the championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. He will tee off at 12:45 p.m. on August 10, 2023, marking his first appearance since winning The Open Championship last month.
As the tournament kicks off, fans are eagerly anticipating Scheffler’s performance, especially after his recent victory. His ability to connect with audiences through humor makes him not just a top competitor but a relatable figure in the sport.
With the championship set to begin, the excitement is palpable. Golf enthusiasts and casual fans alike are encouraged to tune in and support Scheffler as he aims to add another title to his name.
