Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 PGA Championship, and Nike just released an epic ad to celebrate the victory. On X/Twitter, Nike shared a photo of Scheffler swinging a club with the caption, “Best player in the world? Guilty.”

In the post, Nike also wrote, “The verdict is in. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the PGA Champion.” Nike said this because Scheffler was arrested during the PGA Championship at this time last year.

During the final round of this year’s PGA Championship, Scheffler posted an even-par 71 to win the tournament by five strokes. He held off Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, Davis Riley and Jon Rahm at the Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina.

“I’m just really proud of the way we fought this week,” Scheffler said afterward, per PGATour.com. “I was battling my swing for the first couple days … it was a real team effort this week. I’m proud of the whole squad, and I’m looking forward to celebrating this one.”

Scheffler has now won three major championships in his career. Along with a PGA Championship victory, the 28-year-old won the Masters in 2022 and 2024. He just needs to win the U.S. Open and The Open Championship to complete the Grand Slam.

Can Scottie Scheffler become a Grand Slam champion?

“I have some dreams and aspirations that I think about, but I’ve always been at my best when I stay in the present,” Scheffler told reporters ahead of this year’s PGA Championship, per Golf.com. “That’s what works really well for me. You have certain guys that will write down a bunch of goals at the beginning of the year and that’s what motivates them, but for me, I do my best when I stay in the present.”

Scheffler was also asked about balancing everything that happened in the past year, including getting arrested, becoming a father and being the top player in golf. “I think it’s always a battle to try to stay in the present,” he said. “I think when I was in college, my coach did a really good job of helping me kind of learn that skill. He really preached on when you’re at the golf course, you’re at the golf course, when you’re in class, you’re in class. And when I’m out doing stuff with my friends — I don’t want to be at home hanging out with my wife thinking about my golf swing. I don’t want to be out here at the golf course thinking about being at home.”
