May 17, 2024 – Scottie Scheffler, world’s No. 1 golfer, was arrested in his vehicle on Friday morning while attempting to enter Valhalla Golf Club for the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship. The incident occurred after an exchange with a police officer.

Despite the arrest, he was released on his own recognizance and managed to tee off at 10:08 a.m. ET for the tournament12. The arrest followed a fatal accident involving a pedestrian outside the venue, which had caused traffic delays near the golf course1. The situation was captured on video, showing Scheffler being handcuffed and placed in the backseat of a police vehicle1. The incident led to a delay of 1 hour and 20 minutes for the PGA Championship’s second round.
