Jim Nantz officially owns Scottie Scheffler’s old SUV after winning auction

Jim Nantz has several new wheels: old Scottie Scheffler wheels.

Nantz SMS -Y Adam Schupak from Golfweek Earlier this week, to confirm that he not only won the GMC Yukon XL Scheffler auction in 2012, but SUV was also delivered to his garage at Pebble Beach, California.

“It seems to me that just leading this SUV to the golf course should leave my difficulty by at least five shots,” wrote Schupak Nantz.

Nantz’s winning offer in the amount of $ 50,000, which he committed in October last year during the Houston fund collecting gala, will go to Triumph on Kid Cancer, a non-profit organization that was co-founded by James Ragan, a childhood friend of Scheffler, who died of Osteosarcoma in 2014. Ragan, Ragan, Ragan. who played the collegiate Golf in Rice and whose Scheffler devoted his junior victory in the US in 2013, he was only 20 years old.

Scottie continues to support TOKC, including Scottie, his own heroes, a follower who provides golf clubs for children with cancer.

Nantz also met Ragan, saying that Ragan “could be the president of the United States.”

Scheffler’s dad, Scott, bought a SUV while the family was in August, Georgia to take part in Masters 2012. Their previous vehicle broke for good, and Scott made a new purchase at Master Buick GMC. Ultimately, SUV was handed over to Scottie, who used him until his son, Bennett, last year, estimating in 2022 that he had about 190,000 miles. It was Scott who recommended the SUV auction for TOKC, which finances research on pediatric cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston and Mary Crowley Institute in Dallas.

SUV not only has the SCOTTIE 2022 Masters Parking in the front window, but is also signed twice by the two -time master Masters.

“He finally got it,” said Scheffler Golf Week on Friday. “He was sitting on our golf course for some time. But yes, it’s fun. We both met to help in a great cause and pulled an additional car out of it. “
