World No.1 Scottie Scheffler was one of the four top golf stars who took part in the PGA Tour-LIV Golf showdown event. During this tournament, Scheffler was asked a strange question about his ‘jail life’ which brought out a hilarious reaction.

Scheffler was shockingly arrested earlier this year in May during the PGA Championship. He was arrested for trying to drive around the scene of a fatal crash on his way to the PGA Championship. His mugshot later went viral on social media.

Scheffler would return to the field later on and compete in the major championship. Two weeks later, all charges against him were dropped.

Since then, Scheffler has several times been trolled on social media for his arrest. During the Showdown event, the topic of his arrest was brought up by Kai Trump, granddaughter of US President-elect Donald Trump.

The young Trump would ask Scheffler about his life in jail. The two-time major champion hilariously replied that it was a “bit boring” as there was nothing to do.

Ya know, honestly, it was a bit boring. There’s not really much to do in there. I was in a cell by myself and you’re just kinda sitting there looking at the walls. So it was a little boring.

Scottie Scheffler said

Since that event in May, Scheffler has gone on to win several more events. This included a prestigious Olympic Gold medal while representing the United States at the Paris Games in August.

Scottie Scheffler gives comical response to winning cryptocurrency at the Showdown event

The Showdown event was a special event in golf. Not only did it mark the first where PGA Tour stars and LIV Golfers went directly head-to-head against each other, but it also saw the winners receive cryptocurrency. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy both won $5 million in cryptocurrency after emerging as winners of the Showdown. The 28-year-old later gave a comical response to winning this.

After winning the event, Scheffler was asked about what he thought about the prize. The golfer admitted that he did not know much about cryptocurrency and claimed that this was a good motivation to do some research on this topic.

You know I don’t know a whole lot about Crypto but this is some good motivation to do some research.

Scottie Scheffler said on TNT

The duo of Scheffler and McIlroy started off strong. Despite a fightback from the LIV Golfers, the pair of PGA Tour held their nerve and won the event at Hole 16. This turned out to be the tenth time this year that Scheffler had won something.
