Collin Morikawa backs Scottie Scheffler after hilarious trophy mix up at PGA Championship

The 2025 PGA Championship ended with World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler claiming a win at the Quail Hollow Golf Club. While Scheffler was all smiles after his dominant win, a hilarious incident involving him led to the golf world having a hearty laugh.

When Scheffler was presented with the PGA Championship trophy, he lifted it high in the air only for the lid to fall. This led to many members of the golf community bursting into hearty laughter. However, the one person who backed the 2025 PGA Championship winner is Collin Morikawa.

On X (formerly Twitter), Morikawa quote-tweeted a video of Scottie Scheffler's mishap and wrote:

"Yes. Yes it does. Congrats Scottie 👊🏼"

It must be noted that Collin Morikawa himself is not a stranger when it comes to mishaps at the PGA Championship. Back in 2020, when Morikawa was 23 years old, he won his first Major championship - The PGA Championship. However, like Scheffler, Morikawa also made sure to leave fans laughing.

When Morikawa lifted the PGA Championship trophy 5 years before Scheffler, the lid of his trophy also fell off. This incident explains Morikawa's tweet after Scheffler's hilarious mishap on Sunday. While Scheffler was able to win the PGA Championship, Morikawa ended up finishing T50.
