Hours Before the $20,000,000 PGA Tour Event, Scottie Scheffler and a Fellow Pro Set Aside Their On-Course Rivalry to Embrace a Special Day

After the 2023 US Open, the next stop of the PGA Tour members is the $20,000,000 Traveler’s Championship. The players seem all geared up to take on the TPC River Highlands course in Connecticut.

One of the big names on the list of participants is Scottie Scheffler. Though, before his fourth appearance in the Championship, the golfer indulged in an equally important non-golf moment with another pro.

The on-course rivals Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler met to celebrate the biggest day of their lives. The combined celebration of the occasion made it all the more special.

Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler seem to share more than just their extraordinary golfing skills. It is their common birthday that looks to have created an off-field bond between the two players.

With the Traveler’s Championship starting from Thursday, both the golfers joined hands and celebrated their birthday together on Wednesday.

Kim took to Instagram to share a picture with Scottie with the caption: “21st birthday and sharing it on the same day with one of my closest friends, big bro, advice giver.”

He added how he has so much admiration for the one-time major winner, even though more often than not the American gives him a hard time on the field.

21-year-old South Korean Kim himself has impressed the golf world through his exceptional skills. The age difference between the two is just four years, and both appear to have a respectful and close connection.

Scheffler, meanwhile, uploaded multiple stories on his Instagram handle. The snippets from a typical American setting reflected how both professionals kept their special day simple — by sharing a pizza in a cozy setting.

“Happy birthday boys!”

“Happy birthday!!!!! legends”
