“He has poop all over his back, so be prepared.”
“He has poop all over his back, so be prepared.”
That’s what pro golfer Scottie Scheffler was told on live TV just moments after winning the Memorial Tournament.
In a now-viral video captured by CBS Sports with over 3 million views, Scheffler is seen soaking in his big moment—until his wife hands him their baby boy, Bennett, covered in poop.
Did he flinch? Panic? Call for backup?
Scheffler took the handoff like a seasoned pro and replied with peak dad energy: “That’ll happen.”

And just like that, a diaper blowout became the perfect parenting metaphor. One minute, you’re on top of the world. Next, you’re covered in it (sometimes literally).
The internet, of course, had thoughts. Facebook commenters jumped in with the kind of solidarity only parents can offer:
- @Christy Krusell: “If this isn’t real parenting life, I don’t know what is”
- @Paula Holmes Cheves: “Handled that like a Champ!”
- @Aaron Gulley: “Relatable to every dad out there”
The truth is, the most humbling part of parenthood isn’t just the sleepless nights or the endless laundry, it’s the way it sneaks into *every* moment. No matter how polished the highlight reel is, kids will always find a way to bring you back to Earth.
Scheffler’s reaction was a parenting win in itself: no drama, no delay, just acceptance. Because once you’ve changed a few hundred diapers, not even a national broadcast can shake you.
And honestly, isn’t that the dream? To be so grounded in your parenting that even a championship moment can include poop, pride, and presence. No outfit change required.
So here’s to the moms and dads wiping butts between milestones. To the blowouts, the breakdowns, and the beautiful mess of it all.
Because parenting doesn’t pause. Not for trophies. Not for TV. And definitely not for clean backs.
“That’ll happen.” And in parenting? It always does.
