The story of Scottie Scheffler's Lexus TX350 melds scandal, arrest, wealth and more - now the luxury SUV is going up for auction in Kansas City.
The Caviar Black Lexus TX350 used by the world's number-one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, during a controversial incident at the most recent PGA Championship, will be auctioned on December 7 in Kansas City.
This is no ordinary vehicle: it is at the center of a story that has captivated millions of viewers through viral videos.Last May, Lexus became the official vehicle of the PGA Championship, aiming to raise its profile with new audiences. But on May 17, Scheffler was arrested in his 2024 TX350 after an altercation with police near the Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky.
Scheffler called the incident a “big misunderstanding” that occurred in a chaotic situation. Yet the event put Lexus in the spotlight in an unexpected way. Let’s say this was not what the automaker expected on entering into the sponsorship venture.
