World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler unleashed at his caddie in a surprise rant in all-time meltdown on June 5, 2026.
Scottie during the first round at the PGA Tour’s The Memorial Tournament unloaded at his caddie at Muirfield Village in Ohio.
Scheffler hit a poor tee shot into the water on the left side on the par-3 16 TH hole.
He then headed on to unleash his frustration on no one but his lon-time looper Ted Scott.
Scheffler, who usually keeps calm and composed, lost his cool at the Jack Nicklaus built course as he posted a double bogey on the 16th hole.
It followed continued poor shots on the 10th and 14th holes; at that moment he had already suppressed a lot of anger waiting to explode.
The rant exploded on his caddie while he was standing in the tee box.
“I never thought that was the one. I don’t know what to do,” Scheffler.
“I can’t hear a word you’re saying.”
Scheffler then started moving towards to the drop zone, but he wouldn’t drop his pent-ups.
“I felt like that was a good short,” he said.
It was a good short,” Scott responded.
“Now I’m in the water because it came in out of the right,” Scheffler continued.
“Absoutely flushed a 7-iron and we get the wind wrong and I’m in the water.
“I don’t think you understand how frustrating that is. Like that was a good short.”
“Really was, flushed it, right on line. Wind turning out of the right. God, really.”
A par at the 18th hole secured Scheffler finishing one shot above par for the opening round with a 73.
Roud 1 wrapped up with a four-way tie at the top, as JJ Spaun, Wyndham Clark, Tommy Fleetwood, and Ryan Gerard all shot rounds of 67.
