A professional darts player has gone viral after launching an extraordinary tirade against golf sensation Scottie Scheffler, delivering a bewildering existential critique that left fans baffled.
In a bizarre outburst, the unnamed darts star took aim at Scheffler’s lifestyle, sarcastically remarking that the world No. 1 golfer "doesn’t even fly EasyJet or ride the Happy Bus"—a puzzling jab that has since become a social media talking point.
What Sparked the Rant?
The rant, which unfolded during an informal interview, saw the darts player question Scheffler’s relatability, suggesting his success has detached him from everyday experiences. "Does he even know what it’s like to queue for budget flights or take public transport?" the player quipped.
Fans were left scratching their heads at the oddly specific critique, with many speculating whether there was deeper animosity behind the comments.
Reactions from the Golf World
Scheffler, known for his calm demeanour, has yet to respond publicly. However, golf analysts have dismissed the rant as "nonsensical", pointing out that elite athletes across all sports often travel privately for security and scheduling reasons.
"This feels like jealousy disguised as satire," one commentator noted. "Scheffler’s dominance in golf shouldn’t be undermined by someone’s random gripes about airline preferences."
Why the Happy Bus?
The mention of the "Happy Bus"—a colloquial term for budget coach travel—added to the surreal nature of the rant. Observers joked that the darts player might have been "stuck on one too many long journeys" himself.
Whether this was a genuine critique or a failed attempt at humour remains unclear, but it’s certainly given sports fans something to debate beyond the usual tournaments and rankings.
