After missing out on the Masters trophy, Scottie Scheffler is back in action at the RBC Heritage to defend his title. In a candid and unexpectedly humorous pre-tournament press conference, the world No. 1 opened up about the emotional toll of competing at the highest level — with a surprisingly wild analogy.
“It takes a lot out of you to win a golf tournament emotionally,” Scheffler said, recalling the final moments at Augusta. “I’m thinking to myself, I’m going at this pin… and then he makes it, and you’re like, well, tournament’s over. I lost.” What stood out — and stirred laughter — was his comparison of post-tournament exhaustion to “the adrenaline rush you get from getting arrested.” That offbeat honesty had fans buzzing.
Golf Digest shared the clip on X, and fans couldn’t get enough. “Love his press conferences, he really has some of the funniest lines, so funny and so genuine,” one user wrote. Another added, “Scottie humor is an underrated skill set of his!” A third simply put it best: “Just embraces it. Gotta love this guy.”
“Kind of like the adrenaline rush you get from getting arrested.”
