PGA Tour hilariously shares ‘new logo’ for The Players Championship as Scottie Scheffler wins back-to-back titles
The PGA Tour hilariously shared a unique new logo for The Players Championship inspired by Scottie Scheffler, who defended his title on Sunday, March 17. The prestigious PGA Tour event concluded with the finale on Sunday at the renowned TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course in Florida.
Scottie Scheffler, who won the tournament in 2023, recorded his second straight win with another incredible performance. He was impressive throughout the four rounds and came from behind on Sunday to emerge victorious.
The PGA Tour shared a hilarious post on its social media account to celebrate Scheffler's resounding victory. They shared a new logo of The Players Championship, replicating a shot of Scheffler from last week's event.
The Players Championship's trophy and logo feature a replica of a golfer taking a perfect shot. The PGA Tour tweaked the logo a little to make it look just like Scheffler's shot last week.
On the 12th hole of the Stadium Course, Scheffler took a shot with one leg in the air, and the Tour used that picture to create the new logo for fun.
It is important to note that the logo was created to celebrate Scottie Scheffler's fantastic victory at the game.
However, it's not only the PGA Tour that created a unique logo; even the Korn Ferry Tour congratulated the World No.1 by posting Scheffler's picture on their X (formerly Twitter) account. They have edited The Players Championship trophy by adding Scheffler's face.
Before earning the PGA Tour card, Scottie Scheffler played on the Korn Ferry Tour and was awarded the Player of the Year award in 2019 for his impressive performance.
