Scottie Scheffler is handcuffed and off to jail. Tournament is delayed at least an hour.
Scheffler attempted to drive around what he thought was security (the cops were dressed in yellow rain coats) to enter Valhalla. Scheffler was driving a marked PGA Tournament vehicle.
There was an accident and traffic was backed up. Cops stopped Scheffler, obscenities flying and cuffed him. Seems like a case of unnecessary escalation by the cop. Scheffler told the cop he didnβt think he was a police officer.
An ESPN reporter was a witness. PGA officials tried to intervene, but were turned away. Not a good look for Louisville cops. World number one player in custody somewhere in Louisville.
PGA press conference at 7:30.
