Scottie Scheffler lost his composure on Friday, August 23, during the PGA Tour’s 2024 BMW Championship, when a less-than-perfect shot resulted in him dropping an F-bomb on live TV. The golf pro, 28, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, ran into a snag at the 10th hole of Denver’s Castle Pines Golf Club, where he hit his second shot into the water.
Broadcast footage caught a visibly baffled and frustrated Scheffler asking his caddy how the shot could not have made it onto the green. “How? How is that possible?” he was heard saying. He then audibly added: “What the f–k?” Scottie!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 pic.
twitter.com/aJBObEEz7h — Patrick McDonald (@pmcdonaldCBS) August 23, 2024 Scheffler’s ire comes as he is riding fresh off a victorious high, having scored an Olympic gold medal win for Team USA in individual golf on August 4 in Paris. The golfer charged from four shots behind with an incredible bogey-free final round at Paris’ Le Golf National.
His nine-under-par tally of 62 at the Games was enough to pass his two closest competitors and take the win. The event was Scheffler’s first time representing Team USA and marks his seventh tournament win of the year. Overall Scheffler has won six 2024 PGA tournaments, including the Masters and Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament.
His wins over the season have earned him more than $28 million in winnings, a new PGA record that bests a mark also set by Scheffler last season. He started competing in the PGA Champ.
