Animal Antics and Odd Moments Light Up Quail Hollow
The 2025 PGA Championship has been full of surprises—from snake sightings to snapping turtles. Shaun Micheel faced down a slithering snake on the fairway, while Ryan Gerard had a run-in with a turtle near the 14th green. But neither reptile could compete with the hilarity that followed Scottie Scheffler’s unique practice routine.
Scheffler’s Viral Swing Drill
In a now-viral clip posted by Golf on CBS, World No.1 Scottie Scheffler is seen mid-practice with a team member holding and guiding his hips during a swing. The motion, intended to aid hip rotation and generate more power, has stirred both curiosity and laughter across social media. The sight immediately reminded fans of the iconic “It’s all in the hips” scene from *Happy Gilmore*—and comparisons rolled in fast.
Golf World Reacts
PGA Tour pro Wesley Bryan cheekily tweeted, “Scottie is on to something! He literally just won the golf tournament. Mark my words.” Other fans were less serious, joking that Scheffler was “half a second away from getting pantsed,” while others suggested the real focus should be on his feet—especially after Scheffler stumbled post-swing.
Is It Genius or Gimmick?
This unconventional drill has triggered debate among fans and analysts. Some see it as a testament to how elite golfers obsess over every detail, while others view it as another quirky chapter in PGA’s highlight reel of 2025. Still, Scheffler’s stats speak volumes—four birdies in a single day and a climb to 5-under going into the weekend show he might be onto something.
Big Season, Bigger Personality
Scottie Scheffler has had a stellar 2025 so far—winning The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, placing second at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, and earning nine Top 25 finishes. Currently fourth in the FedEx Cup standings, he continues to prove that whether by skill or swagger, he’s among the game’s elite.
Method or Madness?
Scheffler’s hip-swing routine might look funny, but it’s just another example of the extreme attention to detail professional golfers embrace. Whether it becomes the new trend or remains a viral moment, one thing is certain: fans won’t forget it anytime soon.
