Former Masters champion reacts to his own older post backing Scottie Scheffler amid heat from Phil Mickelson

Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman recently revisited a March 2025 social media post in support of Scottie Scheffler. Immelman’s prediction came true when Scheffler triumphed at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, marking his first PGA Tour win of the year.

The post was originally a rebuttal to Phil Mickelson, who doubted whether Scheffler would win before the 2025 Ryder Cup. Immelman had confidently claimed Scheffler would silence critics. After the win, he reshared the tweet with expressive emojis.

Mickelson responded graciously, admitting his misjudgment with humor and congratulating Scheffler on a stellar performance. Their exchange added a lighthearted twist to a competitive season narrative.

Scheffler’s rounds of 61, 63, 66, and 63 secured a -31 total and the top spot. He edged out Erik van Rooyen, while Sam Stevens and Jordan Spieth completed the top four in a strong field of contenders.
