Scottie Scheffler jokingly trolls Sam Burns as the World No. 1 expresses a wish ahead of the Ryder Cup

Scottie Scheffler and the other members of this year's Ryder Cup Team USA recently took part in the "I am passing the phone challenge". It is one of the most popular social media trends where someone first refers to another person by a nickname or something else before passing the phone to them. While it is a fun way to refer to someone with a witty phrase, Scheffler used it to mock Sam Burns.

Sam Burns created a lot of buzz during the 2023 Ryder Cup when he debuted a new hairstyle. He adopted the Mullet haircut (longer in the back, shorter on the sides), with USA written on the sides. Interestingly, Burns stated that the hairstyle was only a part of his motivation for the tournament. Scheffler mentioned this hairstyle in a recent PGA Tour Instagram reel.

The World No. 1 stated that he hopes Burns does not sport this hairstyle again since the Ryder Cup is right around the corner. Scheffler said:

"I'm passing the phone to someone who hopefully won't have a mullet for ithis Ryder Cup."

Ironically, during his turn passing the phone, Sam Burns hailed Cameron Young as having a terrific hairstyle.

The 2025 Ryder Cup is quickly approaching, and Team USA has generated a lot of excitement among spectators. Keegan Bradley is leading the team this year, with some big names like Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Sam Burns, Collin Morikawa and others. But at the same time, Team Europe is not looking like an easy opponent.

Led by Luke Donald, Team Europe features numerous well-known golfers, including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Tommy Fleetwood and many others. The tournament is scheduled to take place at the Bethpage Black Golf Club, where Team Europe will attempt to retain their title.

While fans are looking forward to the tournament, Scottie Scheffler and other golfers are focused on the PGA Pro Core Championship.
