Collin Morikawa had no idea how heavy the Wanamaker Trophy was when he attempted to hoist it in the air following his victory at the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park.
The result was a near disaster.
As Morikawa grabbed the handles of the oversized silver jug and began to raise it above his head for a photo opportunity, the top of the sterling silver trophy came off and toppled to the ground , making for one of the more awkward, if not memorable, victory celebrations in golf history.
"They told me it's heavy they didn't tell me the lid comes off," Morikawa recalled on Wednesday prior to the start of this year's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. "But it is way heavier than you expect. And then they tell you to lift it over your head."
Six years earlier, Rory McIlroy had a similar experience after winning his second PGA Championship at Valhalla.
