A year ago, Scottie Scheffler's life changed. It wasn't because of a major championship or another victory on the PGA Tour, but an event that the world No. 1 golfer probably never expected would happen.
At the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, Scheffler was arrested and put in a jail cell leading up to the second round of the tournament.

Scheffler had been charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer after moving his car forward during a heated incident. All charges have since been dropped, but it is still a moment that will live on in the golfing world, and in Scheffler's memory, for a long time.
On Wednesday, the final day before the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Scheffler made a choice with his outfit that calls back to that fateful day a year ago.
For his final day of prep, Scheffler showed up in a burnt orange polo shirt, likely giving a nod to the viral photo of him in an orange police jumpsuit that made waves a year ago.
Whether or not Scheffler was actually calling back to his mugshot with the outfit choice is currently unknown, but he certainly made some waves on social media once the photo hit social media.

"Scottie by 5 strokes this week," one fan said.
"Well played Scottie.....Well played," another added.
"This is so good," one fan added.
Of course, Scheffler could also be paying homage to his his alma mater Texas Longhorns with the burnt orange coloring, but the fact that he would wear in at the PGA Championship definitely causes some speculation.
Let's just hope that he doesn't end up in orange any other times this week.
