In 2015, at the Waste Management Open, Brooks Koepka experienced a pretty funny flub: the first tee announcer called him “Brooks Cupcake” instead of pronouncing his name correctly ( KEP-kuh ). It’s been ten years since that silly mix-up, but more have followed. Now, Scottie Scheffler is running into similar issues. In fact, this season, the world No. 1 has found himself being named differently repeatedly.
Back in June, after winning the Memorial Tournament, the PGA Tour had a special surprise (?) waiting for Mr. Inevitable . Apparently, his name on his Wikipedia page was changed to “Scottie “Himothy” Scheffler.” After noting the mistake, the tour quickly corrected the mistake and updated everyone on the name being changed to “Scottie Alexander Scheffler.
