Scottie Scheffler stuns golf fans with the ‘greatest shot ever’ to help him win another $3.6million

Scottie Scheffler amazed golf fans and sports stars around the world on Sunday by producing a chip that some have called ‘the greatest shot of all time’.

The American sparked wild celebrations when he holed a chip for birdie from 81 feet to take a two-shot lead on the 71st hole of the BMW Championship in Maryland.

He would go on to win his fifth PGA Tour event of the year, pocketing a whopping $3.6million by doing so.

The moment of genius prompted a frenzy on social media with LeBron JamesPatrick Mahomes and a flurry of regular golf fans all left in awe by the moment of magic.

After both he and MacIntyre missed the green at the Caves Valley Golf Club’s difficult par-3 17th, Scheffler aimed a perfect pitch shot that took a full 12 seconds to trickle down the length of the green and directly into the hole.

The shot was reminiscent of Tiger Woods‘ iconic effort at The Masters in 2005, when his ball famously hovered over the hole before eventually dropping in.

‘It looked good when it landed, looked good when it was rolling, and it was nice to see that one go in,’ Scheffler said.

Mahomes posted on X moments after the shot: ‘Scottie is crazy man’ with several laughing emojis.

LeBron commented: ‘Scheffler so damn COLD out there!! Crazy ZONE he’s in currently!’

Pat McAfee called Scheffler an ‘absolute DAWG’ while Jost Hart of the New York Knicks described the shot as ‘insane’.

One fan posted: ‘That might have been one of the best shots ever on the PGA Tour, at least for this year.’

Another commented: ‘Scheffler’s mild manner can’t disguise the fact that he is an absolute 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er on the course. We haven’t seen anything like this since Tiger.’

‘One of the greatest shots I’ve ever witness live,’ one fan who was there in person added.

Another fan used the infamous picture of Scheffler in police custody after his arrest outside the PGA Championship last year, captioning it: ‘Scottie Scheffler after stealing the BMW Championship away from Robert Macintyre.’

Scheffler closed with a three-under 67 for a two-shot victory and became the first player since Woods to win at least five times on the PGA Tour in consecutive years.

It’s not over for Scheffler, who leads the 30 players who advanced to the Tour Championship at East Lake with a chance to become the first repeat FedEx Cup champion since the series began in 2007.

All 30 players at East Lake can win the $10m first-place check.

The field includes Harry Hall, the only player who played his way into the top 30 on Sunday, and even that was tense. Hall made bogey on the par-five 16th – the easiest hole on the course – and then went long and left at the 17th. He also chipped in for birdie and was safe going up the 18th.

Rickie Fowler was on the verge of getting back to East Lake only to twice miss the green from the fairway on the back nine, leading to bogey on the 14th and double bogey on the 15th, and knocked him out of the top 30.

Fowler finished with a 5-foot par putt – had he missed, Michael Kim would have been in the Tour Championship. Instead, the 30th spot went to Akshay Bhatia, despite making four bogeys on the back nine and feeling as though he had blown it.
