Scottie Scheffler’s arrest prior to the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship remains one of the biggest stories in golf nearly a month after the viral incident.
Scheffler, who currently leads this week’s Memorial Tournament after two rounds, spoke to the media Tuesday
after it was announced that the charges against him were being dropped by the Louisville Metro Police Department.
“It was definitely a bit of a relief, but not total relief,” Scheffler said. “Because that’s something that will always, I think, kinda stick with me.”
On Friday, days after the charges were dropped and almost a month after his arrest, new bodycam footage from the incident was released by LMPD.
In one clip, an officer could be heard asking Scheffler a few golf-related questions.
“So I assume you’re pretty good if you’re playing in the PGA,” the officer said to Scheffler.
“I’m alright, yeah,” Scheffler replied.
“Is Tiger [Woods] as good as they say he is?”
“He’s pretty dang good,” the World No. 1 said.
He finished runner-up at the Charles Schwab Challenge just a week later and currently holds a three-shot lead at The Memorial Tournament.
That’s certainly better than ‘alright’ in our book.
Woods, meanwhile, missed the cut at the PGA Championship after finishing his first two rounds at 7-over. He’ll look to bounce back at Pinehurst later this month.
