The past and present rarely collide so cleanly. But on Sunday, as Scottie Scheffler raised the Wanamaker Trophy, Nike met the moment with a wink and a nod.
In the wake of Scheffler’s dominant win at the 2025 PGA Championship, the brand released a commercial—part tribute, part tongue-in-cheek—that referenced a moment the golf world hasn’t forgotten: Scheffler’s arrest outside Valhalla one year ago. What followed back then was a scramble, a mugshot, and a surreal morning that somehow ended with him shooting 66. What followed now? A smile. A trophy. And the quiet triumph of moving forward.
