Adam Scott, you are a wanted man.

On Sunday, the gorgeous, 32-year-old Australian golfer won The Masters (sorry Tiger!), and from what we Internet people can surmise, he's single! You know what that means: He should be The Bachelor.

Robert Mills, the reality dating show's producer, first proposed the idea on Twitter, writing, "So......Adam Scott as the next #Bachelor?? What say you, #Bachelornation?"

Chris Harrison was totally on board, joking about the golfer's hypothetical quest for love. "Yep it's now officially the most dramatic #Masters ever!" he quipped, adding, "Rumors this will be settled in a hot tub instead of replaying 18th #Masters"

Fans were, understandably, thrilled by the prospect of seeing gratuitous shirtless shots of the golfer. "The Adam Scott as #Bachelor idea has exploded," the show's producer tweeted. "Will try and meet."

A source who works on the show tells E! News exclusively, "We are definitely going to pursue [Scott]. So far, no meeting's been set but we're trying. He could be a perfect fit...We're also considering other people Bachelor fans already know."

A show rep tells us ABC does not comment on casting rumors.

Fingers crossed. As for Adam, who's been romantically linked to Kate Hudson and Serbian tennis star Ana Ivanovic in the past? Well, he's yet to accept this first rose, but secretive pre-show ish is often par for the course.
