It was a moment of perfect capitalism on Friday when two fans wearing Scottie Scheffler t-shirts - one of which had the golfer's mugshot on it - were seen high-fiving the World No. 1 as he walked by at the PGA Championship.
Consider everything that had to go into this moment. Hours before, the golfer was arrested on second-degree assault charges stemming from an incident involving Louisville police outside the Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky.
Scheffler was booked at a local police department, his mugshot was taken, and then he was released on his own recognizance.
For these two golf fans, that presented itself as an opportunity - and somehow, they were able to get two T-Shirts printed before .
One was of Scheffler's mug shot, the other was Scheffler wearing a purple bandanna - a reference to the American version of the TV show 'The Office' where main character Michael Scott adopts the alternate persona of 'Prison Mike'.

But it wasn't just those two who were sporting merchandise alluding to Scheffler's arrest - with plenty of 'Free Scottie' shirts spotted about the grounds at Valhalla.
The golfer was able to overcome the events of the morning and turned in a stellar performance to move within striking distance of leader Xander Schauffele.
Scheffler shot a five-under 66 on Friday - with three birdies on the front nine and three more on the back nine, offset by a bogey on the 11th.
He's now just three shots back of Schauffele - who holds a one-shot lead over Collin Morikawa and a two-shot lead over Sahith Theegala.
Scheffler is tied for fourth with Bryson DeChambeau, currently the top LIV golfer in the field.
