Imagine standing on a stage, all eyes on you, and then—bam—you fumble. It’s awkward and embarrassing, and you wish there were a magical delete button to erase the memory from everyone’s mind. But in the age of the internet, nothing ever really goes away. it’s there, forever, ready to be replayed, memed, and shared. That’s exactly what happened to a PGA Tour commentator at The Sentry.
So what happened was that the commentator came across Nick Stubbe, aka “Fat Perez” from Bob Does Sports after the round. He asked Perez for his thoughts on the tournament, to which he responded by saying, “One of the best golf swings in the world, and Scotty’s at home, so everybody’s got a chance, right?” Well, that’s true Stubbe.
Scheffler is currently taking some time to heal his punctured hand after being wounded during his Christmas shenanigans. Now that he was forced to withdraw from the season-opening event, the rest of the players in the mix may have sighed in relief as now there are fair chances of winning in the absence of World No.1.

Stubbe’s response impressed the commentator, who tossed out a “Pretty good pick, guys.” But then, what started as an innocent interaction took a hilarious turn when with a slip-up. As the commentator was wrapping up, trying to keep it smooth, he turned to Perez and said, “Thanks a lot, Fat—” and then, oops! What came out of the commentator’s mouth was practically a meme in the making for the internet.
