Scottie Scheffler was escorted to the back of a police car by two officers after being detained and handcuffed by local authorities outside of Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship over a traffic flow misunderstanding, as seen in footage of the incident posted by ESPN’s Jeff Darlington on X.
“Here’s the thing, right now he’s going to jail and it ain’t nothing you can do about it period. There is nothing you can do about it,” an officer wearing a neon yellow traffic jacket told Darlington, who was filming the ordeal.
Scheffler, the world’s top golfer, was detained by police around 5:45 a.m. while trying to get into the golf course amid a separate, unrelated incident involving an accident and a fatality.
