PGA Tour shares hilarious praise for Scottie Scheffler after Memorial Tournament victory

Scottie Scheffler has been in red-hot form in recent events. He is ranked first in the world, and in the last four events, he has showcased his quality. Scheffler has three wins in his last four starts, including the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, and the Memorial Tournament.

After his win at the Memorial Tournament, the PGA Tour posted a hilarious (photshopped) update to Scottie Scheffler's Wikipedia page, changing his name to Scottie ("Himothy") Scheffler.

The word Himothy is a play on him, which is used in slang to describe a person who sets the standard and performs in clutch moments in sports. The PGA Tour's Instagram account captioned the post:

"Scottie Scheffler’s Wikipedia has been updated."

Talking about the 2025 Memorial Tournament, Scottie Scheffler finished the tournament at 10 shots under par. He ended his campaign with a four-shot lead over Ben Griffin, who finished second in this event. Scheffler became the second golfer to win the Memorial Tournament back-to-back, following Tiger Woods.
