After a week of scintillating action, the Memorial Tournament has finally come to a close. While the event concluded with intriguing playoff action, there were a few funny moments off the course as well.

Those included world number one Scottie Scheffler’s time in the studio, where he chatted about his golf campaigns with sports commentator Tony Romo. Furthermore, the golfer even confessed to a circulating rumor around the two, which resulted in a few giggles around the room.

Scottie Scheffler sheds light on the Tony Romo rumor

The 2022 Masters champion had a successful stint at the Muirfield Village Golf Club, but he was equally impressive behind the mic. In one instance, Scheffler was asked to clarify the rumor mills regarding his golf battles with former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and now-sports broadcaster Tony Romo, which he agreed were real.

But is Romo at a loss in his wars with Scheffler? Professional golfer-turned-analyst Colt Knost dug his heels into the topic. “Rumor has it you’ve been beating Tony Romo so bad on the golf course, CBS is actually signing his check over to you. True or false?” he asked, which invoked laughter from Scheffler.

Indeed, the two have been sharing quite a rivalry so far. “I will say last time I played golf with Tony, he did beat me, so shout out to Tony for that. He didn’t beat me in stroke play, but he did take some money off me,” he said. With the pleasantries aside, Scheffler tore apart his deal with Romo and claimed he had quite a few checks left for him.

“I was able to give him one of his checks back that he had given me before. So he was pretty frustrated with that, but… I’d kept it in my little pouch there for about four or five months. So I was able to give him his check back, which definitely upset him after the win,” he said with a smirk.

How did Scottie Scheffler fare in the 2023 Memorial Tournament?

Entering the event as the world’s number-one golfer, Scheffler shot a total of six under par over the course of the weekend at the Memorial Tournament. While it earned him a podium finish at the event, the 26-year-old missed out on a three-way playoff due to some shabby putting.

After a rollercoaster year in which he clinched his first-ever major championship, Scheffler is maintaining his consistency at the top of the rankings, albeit without a major. Can he add to his trophy count at the upcoming US Open? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
