Prosecutors have announced that all charges against Scottie Scheffler, the world’s number one ranked golfer, have been dropped following his controversial arrest outside the Valhalla Golf Club during the 2024 PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky.
Scheffler, 27, was arrested on May 17th while attempting to enter the Valhalla Golf Club ahead of his second-round tee time at the PGA Championship.
Scheffler was in a car marked with tournament credentials, waiting for his tee time. He was sitting in traffic and then drove around the incident in a vehicle clearly marked with markings indicating a PGA vehicle door.
According to the police report, Scheffler refused to comply with instructions from the officer, Detective Bryan Gillis, and continued driving his vehicle, dragging Gillis to the ground as he tried to gain access to the course.
