Scottie Scheffler’s mind-bogglingly successful 2024 year continued Thursday when he ripped a 167-foot shot that went in on his first hole of the PGA Championship in Kentucky.
Not only did the 27-year-old drain the shot, but he did so a week after the birth of his first child.
There was no rust to shake off, no nerves to navigate and presumably, no sleep deprivation to keep the devout Christian and 2024 Masters Tournament winner off his game.
Scheffler ripped the shot, and although he was obviously pleased to see it hole out, he didn’t appear the least bit surprised.
To open his day at Louisville’s Valhalla Golf Club, Scheffler lined up on the par 4 with a nine iron. The rest will be a story he can tell his newborn son someday:

The insane shot instantly was good for an eagle and went viral on social media platform X:
Scottie Scheffler won the Masters and RBC Heritage in back to back weeks, took two weeks off to become a dad, and now just holed out for eagle during his first hole at the PGA Championship. This guy is unreal 🤣

As Golf Digest noted, Scheffler’s wife Meredith gave birth to their son Bennett on Tuesday of last week.
Scheffler’s 2024 thus far has included wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a win in The Players Championship, a second green jacket at the Masters and a win at RBC Heritage.
The hottest golfer in the sport was -2 through two holes on Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Xander Schauffele ended his first day of the PGA Championship shooting a 62, tying the record for the lowest round at a major championship, ESPN reported.
The only question about Schauffele’s first day is whether anyone will anyone remember it by Sunday if Scheffler stays red hot.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
