Golf has been good. The views too. Scenes from the Bahamas in December always warm the late autumn spirit.
But if we’re really going to rank this week’s favorites World Challenge of Heroes, Scottie Scheffler it might just be at the top, though not for his playing, which has also been great.
No, no, this greeting is for his dry joke on Wednesday.
It’s a gem. Notably, his crack focused on money, so it fits this article as well. He came in response to this question, asked during his pre-tournament press conference on Wednesday:
“I saw that Tiger joined you for a bit during the pro-am. What do you guys talk about when he’s there and is it a little surreal that you’re shooting it here Tiger Woods Especially after the season you had, how did you elevate your career?”
To which Scheffler replied:
“Yeah, I think most of the time we just talk about money and how the bags should be bigger. Today we really thought about the Ryder Cup and how such BS we have never paid. The tiger was really frustrated. He feels like he hasn’t made enough money in his career. I feel the same way. I feel like last year I wasn’t paid enough for what I did. That’s mostly it, just a bunch of catching up.”
Then he laughed. We did too.
With that, here are the payouts for the World Hero Challenge. The total purse is $5 million.
