Nike didn’t waste any time on Sunday afternoon.
The company immediately released a new ad honoring Scottie Scheffler after his dominant win at the PGA Championship. While that’s not surprising on its own, Nike didn’t hesitate to hilariously reference the top-ranked golfer’s arrest at last year’s tournament in its new ad.
Well done.
Scheffler was arrested after an incident at last year’s PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, when he was trying to drive into Valhalla Golf Club ahead of the second round. Police were investigating a separate incident outside of the course gates that ended in a pedestrian fatality at the time.
