Scheffler causes social media storm after ‘petulant’ Smith incident

LIV Golf

Aug 11, 2022

The awkward encounter between World No 1 Scottie Scheffler and LIV's impending recruit sent the golf world into turmoil

It’s barely been 24 hours since sources confirmed Cameron Smith to LIV Golf was a done deal, and the Aussie’s impending defection and awkward refusals to rebuke the claims have been getting everyone riled up – including possibly World No 1 Scottie Scheffler.

With the two paired together in the FedEx St Jude Championship, the golf world was sent into turmoil after a video surfaced of Scheffler walking in front of Smith as he was reading a putt.

But was it really as bad as the Twitter world are making out? Watch the clip and decide for yourself…

Smith’s face was certainly a picture if that’s anything to go by.

As for social media, most of the golf world couldn’t believe what they’d just seen…

Quit being so petty. Just lost some respect for Scheffler.
