Relive Scottie Scheffler's iconic scene from 'Happy Gilmore 2' at the FedEx St. Jude Championship with Scottie's Chicken Shack. A must-see for golf fans!

Fans at the FedEx St. Jude Championship this weekend can experience a piece of golf history with Scottie's Chicken Shack, a tribute to Scottie Scheffler's memorable cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. The event, presented by Netflix, brings to life the scene where Scheffler, in a playful nod to his real-life arrest, ends up in handcuffs after a humorous altercation on the golf course.
The Scene That Started It All
In the film, released on Netflix on July 25, Scheffler's cameo includes a light-hearted fight with a rival golfer, leading to his arrest. The scene cleverly references Scheffler's actual arrest by the Louisville Metro Police outside Valhalla Golf Club during the 2024 PGA Championship. The humor continues in the holding cell, where Scheffler quips about staying another night for chicken fingers, a moment that quickly went viral.
Scottie's Chicken Shack Experience
At TPC Southwind, fans can immerse themselves in the scene with a photo opportunity that allows them to "do their time" just like Scheffler. The shack offers a menu featuring classic chicken fingers, Memphis honey gold chicken fingers, and zesty lemon pepper wet fingers, ensuring a delicious and memorable experience.
Scheffler's Reflections
Scheffler expressed his enjoyment of the filming process, praising Adam Sandler and the team for creating a relaxed and fun environment. "It's one of the things I told them after we got done filming the movie was like, 'You're doing a great job, I think the movie is going to turn out great,'" he said. "But most importantly, everybody on the movie set was tremendous. Everybody was relaxed. They worked hard but they had fun while they were doing it."
A Star-Studded Cast
Scheffler wasn't alone in the film; he was joined by a host of golf legends and current stars, including Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka. Despite his discomfort with the spotlight, Scheffler acknowledged the positive reception from the public and the enjoyment his family and friends derived from the film.
Coming Off a Big Win
Fresh from his victory at the Open Championship last month, Scheffler continues to make waves both on and off the course. Scottie's Chicken Shack at the FedEx St. Jude Championship is a testament to his enduring popularity and the lasting impact of his Happy Gilmore 2 cameo.
