On May 17, 2024, world number one golfer Scottie Scheffler was detained by police just before the second round of the PGA Championship. The 27-year-old was stopped near the Valhalla Golf Club where the tournament was being held.
Play had been delayed due to a fatal accident near the course, and reports suggest Scheffler was attempting to avoid the scene when he was pulled over. ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington, who witnessed the incident, shared details on air. He mentioned that traffic had been building up and Scheffler tried to enter the golf club using a side median, but a police officer instructed him to stop. Despite this, Scheffler tried to continue, prompting the officer to physically intervene.
Scheffler was pulled out of his car, handcuffed, and detained on the spot. The details of what happened next are still unclear as this is a developing story.
