The Scottie Scheffler Arrest Incident at the PGA Championship
The aftermath of Scottie Scheffler’s arrest at the PGA Championship has taken an interesting turn with new footage emerging of the World No.1 speaking to a police officer in a car. During his arrest, a Louisville police officer acknowledged Scheffler’s skills by saying, “I assume you’re pretty good if you’re playing the PGA.” The officer also asked Scheffler about Tiger Woods’ abilities.
Scheffler was initially charged with multiple offenses but they were later dropped. In the new footage, Scheffler can be heard discussing a preliminary breath test for alcohol and his eagerness to play in the event despite the incident. Additional clips show Scheffler expressing regret for the situation and narrating a story about Rory McIlroy’s near miss at a previous Ryder Cup.
The incident, which almost led to Scheffler’s withdrawal from the PGA Championship, ended with him finishing in a tie for eighth. Looking ahead, he is focused on the upcoming US Open at Pinehurst and has expressed his decision not to pursue legal action against the Louisville police.
New bodycam footage released by Louisville police provides further insight into the Scottie Scheffler arrest incident at the PGA Championship.
