Scottie Scheffler is owning up to his viral moment at The Open Championship, and we aren’t talking about his epic win.
The 2025 Open Championship winner spoke about his loud fart that was caught on camera.

“Yeah, that was me,” Scottie shared with Pardon My Take. “You’re out there for like six hours, you’re eating some different food over there, some things are gonna happen.”
At the time, Scheffler wasn’t aware that the moment was even caught on camera until Xander Schauffele showed him the now-viral video. However, Scheffler is not making much of the moment and added that he’s “definitely surprised it hasn’t happened more in the past, picking up stuff like that.”
Despite the moment, it had no effect on Scheffler’s game. While the golfer clearly loves the game, he shared that his faith and family are above all else, and he enjoys his anonymity when he goes out in public.

“I’ve said it for a long time: golf is not how I identify myself,” Scheffler said in a Sunday night press conference. “I don’t identify myself by winning tournaments, chasing trophies, being famous or whatever.
“There are two Chipotles that I eat at, at home. Actually, not really two anymore. There’s one right where I grew up, kind of near SMU’s campus. If I was to go to that Chipotle and try to eat nowadays, it would be very difficult for me. There’s another one in a different part of town. I’m not going to tell you where it is. But if I go there, nobody recognizes me, ever.”
It was his first time winning the Open Championship, and he had previously won the PGA Championship this season. Overall, he has four wins this year.
