Watch: Scottie Scheffler Jokes About His Arrest in New PGA TOUR Doc

Christmas came a few days early for sickos and Scottie Scheffler fans (who should be one in the same after the historic 2024 the World No. 1 golfer just had), as the PGA Tour just dropped an hour-long, documentary-style video on YouTube chronicling the year of Scheffler. Trust us, it’s worth the time to watch in full, but here are some of our favorite moments from the vid.

The piece outlines the ups and downs with his putter, his win at Bay Hill, and the mental toughness required at the 2024 Players battling a neck injury.

Justin Thomas confessed feeling guilty for laughing on the tee after seeing the wonky follow-through created by Scheffler’s neck injury at Sawgrass. Ted Scott admitted he called his wife after the round to tell her they’d likely be home on Saturday, expecting Scheffler would have to WD.

It’s a moment we see the acute difference in mindset that sets Scheffler apart. Unable to move his head even a degree to the side, and with pain shooting through his swing, the now 28-year-old took it hole by hole.

“I told myself after I got hurt, I was ‘like man if I could just get to the Clubhouse today maybe I'll feel better tomorrow,’” Scheffler said. “And then on Saturday I was like, ‘All right if I can just get to the clubhouse maybe tomorrow I'll play more like myself.”

That he did, becoming the first player to ever win back-to-back at the Players Championship. Keeping things simple and being aware of issues, but not letting them take over, seems to be Scheffler’s specialty.

In another moment, Ted Scott agonizes (more than his player, even) about missing greens early into the 2024 Masters.

“I was frustrated that I can't even get my guy within 15 yards or where we're trying to land a ball,” Scott said. [But] he hits a perfect nine-iron and it lands 15 yards short of what we're trying to aim, then he hits a great chip [and] makes the putt…he just never got frustrated. I was like, ‘wow this guy's tough.’”

Scheffler’s tenacity and calmness in chaos is a common thread, as seemingly every top player on TOUR weighs in via exclusive interviews for the film. From his playing partners to the pros that were served second-place-finishes by Scheffler throughout the year, the theme rang true of how impressive of his tenacity, consistency and calmness through chaos.

Even Tiger Woods couldn’t help but compare the strength of their games and talent.

“We see shots into the greens very similar [and] how we miss golf balls in the correct spots…It's not always pretty but [we know]... it's not a sprint, this is over a marathon. I think that's the similarity between how we play the game,” Woods said. “I did it differently. My game was very violent at times. The way we play, he slid on it, I snapped on it. The control of the ball flight is what amazes me the most, the spin, the trajectory and the shape”

The documentary would be remiss not to include two of Scheffler’s biggest off-course moments in 2024, both taking place within 10 days of each other.

The interviewer hits that head on about 39 minutes into the documentary, asking Scheffler:

“Heritage is your fourth win in five starts but then it takes you a month to win, what happened between Heritage and Memorial?”

Scheffler responds candidly in his matter-of-fact tone with a touch of levity:

“Yeah so I guess Bennett was born, I got arrested…um you know, made good friends with a lawyer in Kentucky. That wasn't, you know, on my bingo card to start the year.”

From a year that felt part history book, part reality show, this documentary truly felt like a behind-the-scenes look at Scheffler’s record year. It wasn’t just nine tournament wins and an Olympic golf medal, it was real, it was gritty—it was peak professional golf, and we can’t wait to see what 2025 brings. (Which is, hopefully, one less run-in with the law).
