The 2025 PGA Championship came to a thrilling end with Scottie Scheffler emerging as the winner at the Quail Hollow Golf Club. The World No. 1 golfer celebrated his victory with a smile, but a funny incident involving him left the golfing world in stitches.
As Scheffler lifted the PGA Championship trophy, the lid unexpectedly fell off, prompting laughter from onlookers. Despite the mishap, one person who showed his support for Scheffler was Collin Morikawa. The 2020 PGA Championship winner took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video of Scheffler’s blunder and congratulated him with a fist bump emoji.
Interestingly, Morikawa himself had a similar experience during his PGA Championship win in 2020. When Morikawa lifted the trophy at the age of 23, the lid also fell off, leading to a light-hearted moment. This shared experience likely influenced Morikawa’s supportive tweet towards Scheffler.
In terms of earnings, Scheffler took home a hefty sum of $3,420,000 for his victory at the 2025 PGA Championship. On the other hand, Morikawa earned $40,674 for finishing T50 in the same tournament. The total purse for the championship stood at $19,000,000, with Scheffler claiming the lion’s share of the prize money.
Overall, the 2025 PGA Championship was filled with exciting moments and unexpected twists, making it a memorable event for golf fans worldwide. Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler on his well-deserved victory, and kudos to Collin Morikawa for his sportsmanlike gesture towards his fellow competitor.
