Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 golfer, was arrested on Friday by police ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship while attempting to drive around a traffic stoppage outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.
Traffic outside the golf course had been stopped because of a crash that killed a pedestrian around 5 a.m. ET.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported Scheffler attempted to continue driving another 10-20 yards. When he stopped, a police officer asked Scheffler to exit his vehicle. Darlington reported the police officer opened the car door and placed the 27-year-old in handcuffs and in the back of a police car.
