Scottie Scheffler to make another appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay at Georgia vs. Texas

What will be in store for Scheffler’s next appearance? We’ll find out this weekend.

Two years ago, Scottie Scheffler was caught off-guard during an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay before the Longhorns football team hosted then-No. 1 Alabama in Austin.

Texas men’s golf coach John Fields presented Scheffler with the Jack Nicklaus Award for being the 2022 PGA Tour Player of the Year in front of the reigning NCAA men’s championship golf team.

What will be in store for Scheffler’s next appearance? We’ll find out this weekend.

Scheffler will be on set with the GameDay crew as the top-ranked Texas football team hosts one of the biggest games of the college football season, as the Longhorns welcome No. 5 Georgia.

The news came out as ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit mentioned it while making an appearance on Thursday’s Pat McAfee Show.

Scheffler isn’t the only prominent golf figure to make a recent appearance on the show. Justin Thomas made an entrance in a souped-up golf cart complete with a roll bar before a Crimson Tide football game in 2019, then pulled an iron from the back and set up as if to hit a shot off the mulch right into the camera lens.

And in 2020, six-time Masters champion Jack Nicklaus joined the GameDay crew live via video to pick the winners of the week’s best college football games and the 2020 Masters.

Former Alabama QB Joe Namath will be the guest picker for ESPN’s College GameDay in Tuscaloosa before the 2020 Iron Bowl between Alabama…

Tomorrow, before the 2020 Iron Bowl, ESPN’s College GameDay crew will be stationed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama doing all things pre-game and making their picks for games all over the country.

Like every week, the crew brings on a guest picker to help make picks for all the different, highly-talked-about games. This week, it’s former Crimson Tide star quarterback Joe Namath.

Namath, who quarterbacked Alabama in the early 1960’s, won a National Championship ith the Crimson Tide in 1964, and went on to have a very succesful career with the New York Jets in the NFL – which will be forever remembered with a Super Bowl win, as well as a spot in Canton, Ohio at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
