Scottie Scheffler winning the 2025 BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland. With this win, he cemented his place as the new face of professional golf. His win hung in the balance on the pivotal 17th hole. There, he made an amazing chip-in birdie from the rough to take a two-shot lead.
The chip-in for a birdie has been touted as one of the best shots of Scheffler’s career. It’s a testament to his insane talent and clutch playmaking. This was the dawning of a new era at home, one that was heralded by sports commentators and personalities across every conceivable media platform. LeBron James, a prominent figure in the sports world, tweeted, “Crazy ZONE he’s in currently!” shortly after witnessing Scheffler’s impressive performance. He later followed up with “Scottie is on a different level⛳️” to drive home just how impressed he was with the golfer’s play.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tossed a few words of encouragement too. He shared his thoughts with his sons about Scheffler’s incredible shot, remarking, “This is really difficult….. Why? Scottie is crazy man 😂😂😂😂😂.” After the tournament, Mahomes tweeted at Scheffler to congratulate him on the phenomenal accomplishment, writing, “That was crazy Scottie Scheffler 🔥 .”
Mel Kiper Jr., perhaps the world’s most prominent sports analyst, commented on social media. He sounded just as impressed as James and Mahomes, himself, tweeting in response to Schffler’s win, “Scottie is on a different level⛳️” As commentators pointed out, that was one hell of a chip-in birdie, and Scott Van Pelt really drove home the point of how tough that shot was. He described the scenario: “Because it’s a bad lie, the green is going away from him, it’s really difficult to hit it the right distance… there is water on the other side… but he’s…”
Robert MacIntyre was all weekend the man to beat. He did so with phenomenal round-best margins of 62 in the first round and 64 in the second. Even with MacIntyre playing as well as he did, Scheffler was able to take control on the championship’s last day thanks to his own brilliant play.
News of Scheffler’s victory came as a surprise. Sports figures such as Josh Hart and Cincinnati Bengals’ Logan Wilson went on to social media to laud his incredible ability and determination. Comments calling his chip-in “crazy” and “ridiculous” revealed just how different that shot was in the context of the title match.
