Rockies hilariously slam Scottie Scheffler, troll themselves after winning first series of the season

The Colorado Rockies are finally better than Scottie Scheffler.

After a brutal month where the top-ranked golfer in the world somehow managed to keep up with a professional baseball team, the Rockies are back on top — and they’re laughing at themselves perfectly.

The Rockies, amid a historically awful start, swept the Miami Marlins this week. Their win on Tuesday night officially gave them their first series win of the season, which snapped a league-worst 22-series losing streak dating back to last fall, and Wednesday’s win gave them their longest winning streak of the year.

While they are still objectively terrible — they sit at just 12-50, which is by far the worst record in Major League Baseball — the Rockies are now beating Scheffler. That wasn’t the case in May.

Scheffler has been on a dominant run on the PGA Tour. He flew ahead to a massive win at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson early in May, and then won the PGA Championship in his next start to claim his third career major championship. Then, after a T4 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament on Sunday.

Over that span, the Rockies also won just three times.

The key difference is that Scheffler made just four starts on Tour. The Rockies played 26 games.

While that led to plenty of jokes for the Rockies, they weren’t the only target. The Tour even trolled the Carolina Panthers briefly, though they deleted the posts, after Scheffler picked up his 15th career win since 2022.

Though the Rockies are flying high on their win streak, there’s one important thing to note here. Scheffler has yet to tee it up since they started winning. If they can’t bank a few more wins before the U.S. Open starts next week, and Scheffler’s run continues, the Rockies may find themselves back in the same position later this month.

Hey, at least they’re laughing with the rest of us.
