Scottie Scheffler celebrates 2025 PGA Championship closing birdie on Saturday with “Fuck yeah, baby!” as he picks up his ball out of the hole at Quail Hollow with the crowd going wild as he finished the third round with a three-shot lead.
Si Woo Kim looks totally flabberghasted after watch Scottie Scheffler demolish the Green Mile at Quail Hollow in the third round of the 2025 PGA Championship. Scheffler was playing alongside Si Woo Kim and Max Homa as he took a three-shot lead into the final round of the second major of the year on the men’s side.

On the second season of “Full Swing,” Rory McIlroy sees a report on a TV in a locker room, and he looks agasp as the shocking news starts to settle in his brain. But replace anything you want on that monitor with some news that’s insane, funny or otherwise shocking, and you have yourself a meme.
Scottie Scheffler got such a look of exasperation on his face at the 2024 Players Championship that it can turn into a great meme for reading garbage comments online. Sometimes in life, you get so frustrated that you have to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths before you lose it on someone or something.

One of Charlie’s friends was caddying for Tiger’s son during one of the rounds, and Tiger Woods greeted him with a bro handshake and called him “Big Dog” instead of his actual name. Now people are using this as a...
