Scottie Scheffler Wears 'Lost and Found' Nike Shoes at 2026 PGA, Honoring Walter Hagen's Trophy Tale

Scottie Scheffler arrived at Aronimink in Nike shoes stamped "lost" on one sole and "found" on the other, part of the brand's 2026 PGA Championship special-edition release.
The design honors Walter Hagen's 1925 PGA Championship win, after which he handed the Wanamaker Trophy to a cab driver and the trophy never reached his hotel.
Hagen then won the PGA again in 1926 and 1927, avoiding questions about the missing trophy until a 1928 loss forced him to admit it had been gone for three years.
In October 1930, Hagen found the Wanamaker while going through old trunks in Detroit, completing the "lost and found" story Nike referenced with three PGA shoe models this week.
Is Nike's shoe a clever homage to golf history, or just a pricey commercialization of a legendary blunder?
What really happened to the Wanamaker Trophy during the five years it was lost before being found?
Can Aronimink's 'masterpiece' course challenge today's top golfers, or will Rory McIlroy's prediction of an easy week prove true?
