Golf enthusiasts were left scratching their heads this week after noticing something peculiar about world number one Scottie Scheffler's appearance in official PGA Tour images.
Sharp-eyed fans quickly took to social media to point out what appeared to be obvious digital alterations to the Masters champion's hairline in recent promotional photographs.
The Photoshop Controversy
The images in question show Scheffler looking noticeably different from his usual appearance on the greens. While the 27-year-old Texan is known for his boyish looks and modest hairline, the official photos seemed to present an unusually full and perfectly shaped head of hair.
Twitter users were quick to spot the discrepancy, with many joking about the PGA Tour's apparent attempt to give their star player a digital makeover.
Social Media Reacts
"Someone in the PGA communications department got a bit too enthusiastic with the clone stamp tool," quipped one golf fan on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: "First they airbrush models, now they're giving golfers hair transplants? What's next - photoshopping perfect swings?"
The controversy comes at an interesting time for Scheffler, who has been enjoying phenomenal success on the course while maintaining his famously unassuming appearance.
PGA Tour Yet to Comment
As of publication, neither Scheffler nor the PGA Tour have addressed the photoshop speculation. The images remain on official channels, continuing to fuel debate among golf's passionate fanbase.
This incident highlights the growing scrutiny of digital alterations in sports photography, where authenticity has traditionally been valued over cosmetic perfection.
