‘Hope He’s Ok’: Scottie Scheffler’s Extremely Painful Moment Leaves Golf World in Splits

Following nail-biting action on Friday, the Travelers Championship is now headed into the weekend with several in contention for the prestigious title. While the likes of Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa missed cuts, players like Keegan Bradley, Denny McCarthy, and Rory McIlroy impressed fans with their powerful performances.

Among the golfers who will be playing in the final two rounds of the event is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The 2022 Masters winner has managed to script back-to-back top-3 finishes in his last four outings and is expected to finish his Travelers Championship run on a similarly amazing note.

However, this time around, Scheffler is the talk of the town for a different reason. On day 2 of the Travelers Championship, the golfer ended up making an embarrassing blunder, leaving the golf world in splits. Let’s dive in to find out more!

Scottie Scheffler’s embarrassing yet hilarious gaffe comes to light

All things considered, Scottie Scheffler had a decent showing at the TPC River Highlands on Friday. He shot an even par-70 on a course known for its low-scoring conditions. The Dallas native won’t have any regrets about his first 36 holes, except for an unintentionally hilarious gaffe that has now gone viral in the golf community.

The iconic moment occurred while the golfer was teeing off at the par-4 fourth hole on the course. He then let go of the club, which then hit his arm, ricocheted back, and struck him in the face. In the slow-mo clip of the accident shared by the @PGATOUR on Twitter, Scheffler’s nose can be seen taking the full force of the heat.
