Scottie Scheffler stuns golf fans with the 'greatest shot ever' to help him win another $3.6million
Scottie Scheffler amazed golf fans and sports stars around the world on Sunday by producing a chip that some have called 'the greatest shot of all time'. The American sparked wild celebrations when he holed a chip for birdie from 81 feet to take a two-shot lead on the 71st hole of the BMW Championship in Maryland. He would go on to win his fifth PGA Tour event of the year, pocketing a whopping $3.6million by doing so. The moment of genius prompted a frenzy on social media with LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes and a flurry of regular golf fans all left in awe by the moment of magic. After both he and MacIntyre missed the green at the Caves Valley Golf Club's difficult par-3 17th, Scheffler aimed a perfect pitch shot that took a full 12 seconds to trickle down the length of the green and directly into the hole. The shot was reminiscent of Tiger Woods ' iconic effort at The Masters in 2005, when his ball famously hovered over the hole before eventually dropping in. SCOTTIE. SCHEFFLER. ARE YOU KIDDING?!?! A chip-in birdie to take a two-shot lead on the 71st hole @BMWchamps! — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 17, 2025 'It looked good when it landed, looked good when it was rolling, and it was nice to see that one go in,' Scheffler said. Mahomes posted on X moments after the shot: 'Scottie is crazy man' with several laughing emojis. LeBron commented: 'Scheffler so damn COLD out there!! Crazy ZONE he's in currently!' Pat McAfee called Scheffler an 'absolute DAWG' while Jost Hart of the New York Knicks described the shot as 'insane'. One fan posted: 'That might have been one of the best shots ever on the PGA Tour, at least for this year.' Another commented: 'Scheffler's mild manner can't disguise the fact that he is an absolute killer on the course. We haven't seen anything like this since Tiger.' 'One of the greatest shots I've ever witness live,' one fan who was there in person added. Another fan used the infamous picture of Scheffler in police custody after his arrest outside the PGA Championship last year, captioning it: 'Scottie Scheffler after stealing the BMW Championship away from Robert Macintyre.' Scheffler closed with a three-under 67 for a two-shot victory and became the first player since Woods to win at least five times on the PGA Tour in consecutive years. It's not over for Scheffler, who leads the 30 players who advanced to the Tour Championship at East Lake with a chance to become the first repeat FedEx Cup champion since the series began in 2007. All 30 players at East Lake can win the $10m first-place check. The field includes Harry Hall, the only player who played his way into the top 30 on Sunday, and even that was tense. Hall made bogey on the par-five 16th - the easiest hole on the course - and then went long and left at the 17th. He also chipped in for birdie and was safe going up the 18th. Rickie Fowler was on the verge of getting back to East Lake only to twice miss the green from the fairway on the back nine, leading to bogey on the 14th and double bogey on the 15th, and knocked him out of the top 30. Fowler finished with a 5-foot par putt - had he missed, Michael Kim would have been in the Tour Championship. Instead, the 30th spot went to Akshay Bhatia, despite making four bogeys on the back nine and feeling as though he had blown it.

NBA icon Dennis Rodman fires brutal shot at Travis Hunter and his controversial relationship with wife Leanna Lenee
Former NBA champion Dennis Rodman took a shot at Jacksonville Jaguars rookie sensation Travis Hunter over the situation with the Heisman Trophy winner's now-wife. Despite many suggesting that Lenee was taking advantage of the fame of the two-way talent, Hunter tied the knot this summer and has been happily married for months. But Rodman doesn't seem to buy it. The 64-year-old appeared on a recent stream of YouTuber N3on. 'A 21-year-old young man, what advice could you give me to evolve as a human being?' the streamer asked. After a pause, Rodman replied, 'Just don't be Travis Hunter,' before bursting into laughter. 'I'm sorry, breaking news, what the hell... I don't give a s**t if it's real or not, s**t, it's fake news.' Over the past year, Lenee has been at the center of a firestorm of hate from online commenters - especially over perceived slights directed at Hunter - during the 2024 college football season. That season ended with Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy, the second ever won by a player from the University of Colorado, and led to him getting picked second-overall by Jacksonville. A few weeks later, Hunter and Lenee would tie the knot in Tennessee at a glamorous wedding following years of dating. But those years of affection and dating were ignored by trolls who lobbed accusations of gold digging and fame hunting toward Lenee throughout 2024. Recently, Lenee showed an insight into how that hatred affected her. In a post to Tik Tok last month, she posted footage of her from back in December - crying fresh out of the shower. The post had the sound of a Church sermon playing behind it while Lenee spoke into the camera. However, nothing that she said was audible. Instead, context for the footage was given in the caption of the video. 'I wish I could go back and hug December me, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way,' Lenee wrote. 'I don't even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grown [sic] and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. Lenee shared video of herself from back in December, showing her crying out of the shower 'I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this. Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you.' Comments under the video were supportive, including one from WNBA superstar Angel Reese which read, 'so proud of you bb! the storm doesn't last forever!' 2024 was a rocky season for Lenee and Hunter's relationship as the public cast doubts on Lenee's motives for dating the star. This forced Lenee to defend herself in a lengthy eight-minute video posted after Hunter won the Heisman. As Hunter was announced as the winner of the prestigious award, Lenee initially remained sitting while Hunter's mother and Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders stood up. She briefly stood and gave Hunter a hug after Sanders appeared to tap her, but promptly sat back down as Hunter continued embracing his group. Fans took issue with what they believed to be a slight, sparking horrific backlash on social media. It's one of many perceived snubs Lenee had to address. Others included a tense moment after a game against Oklahoma State and some comments she made as Hunter was taking photos with female fans during a pre-Heisman photo shoot . On a Twitch stream after the ceremony, Hunter revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep as she continued to be pelted with criticism. 'She's still sleeping, she's slumped,' the Heisman winner shared on a Twitch stream. 'You know when you're hurt but you just cry yourself to sleep and you just be gone? She drunk [sic], like, an OD amount tonight for no reason.' Hunter told people to stop targeting her, specifically calling out 'clickbait' pages, social media accounts, and websites. 'Clickbait pages stop, y'all better stop I'm telling y'all. Something bad is gonna happen to y'all [if you] keep doing that. Y'all better stop that. I ain't playing,' he said. 'Y'all hate on me then you go hate on my girl,' the two-way star continued. 'I feel the same thing that she feels. We're inseparable. We're with each other. If she's hurting, I'm hurting.'
