Being a PGA Tour pro certainly has its perks, and Scottie Scheffler’s recent story confirms it. The World No. 1 golfer hilariously recalled not having to pay for a round of golf due to his pro status.During a press conference ahead of the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler was asked if he remembers the last time he paid for a round of golf. He said he doesn’t remember the last time he paid, but he remembers the last time he didn’t have to pay.The 17-time PGA Tour winner recalled going to the pro shop at a local public course and attempting to pay for a round for him and his friend. His fee for the round was waived; however, his friend’s wasn't, and they both found the situation hilarious.“I was like, I'd like to just pay for the round, we're teeing off at 2:00. He's like, you're good. My buddy was like, thanks, man, that's awesome, appreciate it. He's like, actually, you've got to pay. It was probably five years ago and we still laugh about it to this day because he was so excited to get the free round and the pro was like, actually you're still paying, buddy,” he said, laughing.
