Scottie Scheffler has trophy mishap during PGA Championship celebration

Scottie Scheffler’s excitement over capturing the PGA Championship title quite literally blew the top off the Wanamaker Trophy.

Scheffler was in the midst of celebrating his third major victory when he held up the prestigious trophy, only for the lid to unexpectedly fly off. This prompted some of the PGA of America executives standing nearby to quickly scramble after the lid before it could hit the floor.

It was placed on a stand that the trophy had been sitting on and Scheffler put it back together while having a laugh about it. 

“Jim, looks like he can’t excel at everything,” commented CBS Sports’ Amanda Balionis during her concluding interview with Scheffler.

“That happens,” Jim Nantz said in response with a chuckle. 

Subsequently, CBS Sports shared another video featuring Scheffler noticing that the trophy’s lid seemed somewhat uneven. He attempted to rectify this by banging the top on the ground, trying to get it back into place.

“We’ll fix it,” one of the PGA of America execs tells him in the video. 

The victory on Sunday in Charlotte was well earned by the World No. 1 after he held off a charging Jon Rahm, who had tied for the lead with birdies on holes 8, 10 and 11 to get to 9-under, while Scheffler dropped down to 9-under. 

Scheffler finished with a score of 71 for the final round and 11-under for the tournament. 

“I knew it was going to be a challenging day. Finishing off a major championship is always difficult,” Schffler told CBS. “I did a good job of staying patient on the front nine and I didn’t have my best stuff, but I kept myself in it, and I stepped up on the back nine. I had a really good nine holes and that’s about it.”
