Scottie Scheffler was frustrated with his game during the third round of the 2025 WM Phoenix Open and chopped down his bag in disgust. The American golfer has finally returned to the greens after being on hiatus for weeks because of his hand injury. He competed at last week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and then at this week's WM Phoenix Open.
However, during the third round of the tournament, the American golfer had a hard time on the greens. Seemingly disappointed with his shot, he was frustrated and later hit his golf bag with his golf club. The bag fell down, but he later picked it up and kept it straight.
On February 9, Nuclr Golf shared a video of Scottie Scheffler hitting his golf bag on its X (formerly Twitter) account along with the caption:
