‘Petulant’ Scottie Scheffler Smashes Club in Fit of Rage at TPC Southwind; Leaves Golf World Outraged

The 2024 season has been a wild ride for Scottie Scheffler, filled with highs like his second major win and lows like a shocking arrest. But during the opening round of the first FedEx Playoff tournament, Scheffler made headlines again—for all the wrong reasons.

After a tough stretch on the 13th hole, where his ball found the sand twice, the World No. 1 golfer let his frustration get the best of him. A video shared by NUCLR Golf on X shows Scheffler slamming his club into the sand after his third shot landed 13 feet from the hole, ruining his bogey-free round. The tweet captured the moment perfectly: “#WATCH Scottie Scheffler (former Inmate #00654436) is PISSED!”

As the tournament progresses, fans and critics alike will be watching to see if Scheffler can channel his emotions and climb back to the top.
