Scottie Scheffler claimed the FedEx Cup title after clinching the Tour Championship on Sunday, September 1. This was his seventh win on the PGA Tour this year and the first FedEx Cup title of his career.

The World No. 1 golfer entered East Lake Golf Club with a two-stroke lead over Xander Schauffele. He looked in ominous form throughout all four days and never seemed to drop his level. Starting the week at 10-under, he shot 65, 66, 66, and 67 to aggregate at 30-under, beating Collin Morikawa by a two-stroke margin.

Following Scheffler's win, the PGA Tour shared a post highlighting the golfer's incredible achievements this year.

While the PGA Tour's post pretty much covered everything, fans online pointed out that the Tour 'missed' mentioning Scottie Scheffler's arrest during the PGA Championship. Here's a look at some reactions:

"missing the orange jumpsuit," Caleb Hull posted.
"Where’s the mugshot!," Barstool Sports' Dan Rapaport wrote.
"Can somebody photoshop his mugshot photo in here too?🤔🤔🤔," one user commented.
"I so wanted him to announce live during the trophy ceremony a $1M donation to the Louisville PD to be earmarked for de-escalation training! 😀," another user opined.
"You gotta add the jumpsuit/mugshot.. it makes it all so much better," one fan wrote.
"Congratulations all around, my man! One of the easiest athletes in the world to root for, and happy that my boys have a good example to watch on the weekends," this fan remarked.
