Overview
- The moment occurred Sunday in the scorer’s hut at the 3M Open when Brian Harman raised his middle finger toward a CBS/ESPN+ camera as he and Scottie Scheffler signed scorecards, and Scheffler reacted with laughter.
- A clip of the exchange was shared on X by Golfweek reporter Cameron Jourdan and circulated widely online, driving the story in reports from multiple outlets.
- Tournament results were unchanged: 21-year-old Jackson Koivun won, Scottie Scheffler finished second at 22-under, and Harman tied for third at 20-under and earned $429,550.
- The PGA Tour Code of Conduct bans obscene gestures and vulgar behavior, but no disciplinary action has been confirmed at the time of reporting.
- The episode feeds a wider debate about how much behind-the-scenes access broadcasters should have, recalls prior on-course reprimands and penalties, and could prompt tournaments or networks to tighten rules on camera placement and private spaces for players.
