PGA Tour fans at the Travelers Championship were in for a sweet surprise when Scottie Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 golfer, walked out of the clubhouse. Scheffler, who had just turned 28 years old, decided to share his birthday cake with the fans who had been waiting for him outside after the second round. With his son, Bennett, in a stroller, Scheffler approached the fans holding the cake in his left hand and offered it to them, saying, “You guys can have it. Y’all take the cake, seriously.”
The fans were thrilled and even asked Scheffler to sign items like a Domino’s pizza box, which he gladly did. The video posted on social media captured the fans’ excitement as they interacted with Scheffler and received autographs from him. It was a heartwarming gesture from Scheffler, who showed his appreciation for the support from the fans.
Despite the distraction of his birthday celebration, Scheffler remains focused on his performance in the tournament. He shot an impressive 6-under at TPC River Highlands, moving into a three-way tie for second place at 11-under with Akshay Bhatia and Collin Morikawa. The leaderboard is tight, with Xander Schauffele, the 2024 PGA Championship winner, close behind at 10-under in fifth place. South Korean Tom Kim currently leads the tournament with a score of 13-under after strong performances on Thursday and Friday.
As Scheffler heads into the weekend in Cromwell, Connecticut, he is determined to continue his strong play and compete for another win on the Tour this season. His generosity towards the fans at the Travelers Championship reflects his down-to-earth personality and connection with the audience.
