It\u2019s the little things sometimes.<\/p>\n
After winning the $10 million Tour Championship<\/a> to close the PGA Tour season, Scottie Scheffler revealed that he wasn\u2019t exactly going to jump into a gold coin-filled pool after the accomplishment. <\/p>\n \u201cGosh, I don\u2019t know. Probably a cheeseburger. I\u2019m a big cheeseburger guy. Cheeseburger, fries\u2026 maybe a milkshake if they got one hiding back there,\u201d Scheffler told reporters when asked what the first thing he\u2019d be doing after winning the massive purse.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler walks off the 17th green during the PGA Tour Championship golf tournament on Sunday, August 30, 2026, in Atlanta.

It just sounded good. Right when we got off the course, I went in there, you know, these guys are trying to get me to do media and all this stuff. And I was like, \u2018Well, how much time do I really have?\u201d Scheffler said. <\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018We got a couple minutes.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018All right, let me just go inside so I can get some air conditioning.\u2019 And then there was an open bar right there. And I was like, \u2018All right, I\u2019m grabbing a beer.\u2019 It tasted great.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler poses with the trophy, wife Meredith Scheffler and sons, Bennett and Remy, following the final round of the TOUR Championship 2026 on Sunday, August 30, 2026 Getty Images<\/p>\n Scheffler can now retreat with his wife, Meredith, after winning three times on the PGA Tour this season to boost his career win total to 22.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a behind-the-scenes moment, Scheffler pointed to the camera and put his hat over the lens so he could relax in peace with his wife and two young sons, Bennett and Remy. <\/p>\n The world\u2019s No. 1 player added that his wife was surprised that he went with a victory beer.<\/p>\n Scheffler went inside the clubhouse for air conditioning while media waited. He saw an open bar, grabbed a beer (he said it was his first in a long time and \u201cwell-earned\u201d now that the season was over), then spent a few minutes with Meredith and the boys.<\/p>\n The clip in the post is\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/vxfnm31iNL<\/a><\/p>\n
