Philadelphians have long carried the torch as one of the most passionate—and let's be honest, loudest—fanbases in all of American sports. And as it turns out, their energy isn't confined to the football field or the basketball court. It travels with them everywhere, even to the pristine fairways of a major championship.

During Wednesday's practice round at the 2026 PGA Championship, held at Aronimink Golf Club just outside Philadelphia, a group of spirited Eagles fans decided to have some fun with Scottie Scheffler. The world's No. 1 golfer, who is also a well-known Dallas Cowboys fan, was working on his game on the 12th green when the chirping began.

"Dallas sucks, Scottie!" one fan shouted, adding a playful jab, "We're gonna smash you on Thanksgiving!"

In a moment that perfectly captures the unique camaraderie between athletes and fans, Scheffler didn't just brush off the trash talk—he embraced it. The camera zoomed in to catch a wide grin spreading across his face as the crowd erupted with chants of "Go Birds!" It was a reminder that even at the highest level of professional golf, the spirit of sports rivalry is alive and well.

For Scheffler, who is defending his PGA Championship title and chasing his fifth major victory, the friendly banter might be just the motivation he needs. And if his Cowboys' recent record against the Eagles is any indication—Philadelphia has won four of the last six meetings between the bitter NFC East rivals—the fans certainly had a point.

As the tournament gets underway, all eyes will be on Scheffler to see if he can channel that same lighthearted energy into a winning performance. After all, whether you're on the course or in the stands, it's all part of the game.
