On Sunday evening, Scottie Scheffler cemented his legacy as the world’s top-ranked golfer by clinching the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, securing his third major title with a commanding five-shot victory.
Nike, Scheffler’s longtime sponsor, wasted no time celebrating the triumph with a bold and witty marketing campaign that has taken social media by storm.
The brand’s X post, which featured Scheffler mid-swing with the caption “Best player in the world? Guilty,” alongside their iconic swoosh, cleverly nods to his 2024 legal troubles while highlighting his undeniable dominance on the course.
Scheffler’s journey to this victory was nothing short of cinematic. After a turbulent 2024, where he faced charges of second-degree assault of a police officer and other misdemeanors following an arrest near Valhalla Golf Club during the PGA Championship, Scheffler has emerged stronger than ever.

His resilience shone through at Quail Hollow, where he overcame a shaky front nine—losing a five-shot lead—before rallying with back-to-back birdies on holes 14 and 15 to finish at 11-under-par, earning the Wanamaker Trophy and a $3.42 million prize.
The campaign underscores Nike’s strategy of leveraging storytelling and athlete endorsements to connect emotionally with fans, solidifying Scheffler’s status as a golfing icon and Nike’s unwavering support for their star.
Scheffler is on top of the sport once again, and looks here to stay. He has now reached the halfway mark of the career Grand Slam, a feat accomplished by Rory McIlroy at the 2025 Masters.
The former Texas Longhorn standout has become one of the most consistent ball-strikers on the PGA Tour and has established himself as a formidable force for the years to come.
