New footage from Scottie Scheffler’s surreal arrest at the PGA Championship has emerged, showing one police officer completely unaware as to who the world number one is,

before being asked a bizarre question about Tiger Woods.

The reigning Masters champion was taken into custody after a traffic violation before the second round at Valhalla last month,

with Louisville Police Detective Bryan Gillis claiming he suffered multiple injuries while arresting the golfer. Now, however, footage has emerged of police officers completely unaware about

who they had just taken into custody, and seeming legitimately baffled when learning he was the best golfer on the planet.

In the video, one officer is heard asking: “Just to confirm you’ve had nothing to drink today?” To which Scheffler responds he’s only had mouthwash, before joking:

“I try not to drink too much before I go and play golf at 8am.”

The officer then asks: “I assume you’re pretty good if you’re playing in the PGA?” To which Scheffler modestly replies: “I’m alright.” At that point, the officer appears to divert the conversation, asking: “Is Tiger as good as they say he is?” with Scheffler responding: “he’s pretty good, yeah.”

The clip then shows Scheffler and the officer discussing texts he’d received from his agent, with the golfer asking if his wife had got in touch yet. A different clip showed police officers joking around with him, with Scheffler appearing in good spirits and discussing Rory McIlroy’s police escort to the Ryder Cup in 2012.

Scheffler is heard asking: “What are the odds I’m going to be able to play golf today? 1%?” To which the officer advises him to call his lawyer as soon as they arrive in the police station. Scheffler then explains to the officer what the Ryder Cup is, before explaining the time Rory McIlroy overslept and had a six-car police escort to the event 12 years ago.

In Scheffler’s situation, he was later booked on charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals.

Those charges were dropped by prosecutors last week, who agreed with the golfer’s defence that the incident had been one big misunderstanding, and that he had done nothing wrong. While Scheffler was released in time to play his second round at the PGA Championship, it’s clear his head wasn’t in his game, as he struggled to keep up the pace with the leaders.

He did, however, recover for the Charles Schwab Challenge, as he finished tied for second place with a total score of nine under-par. He started well at the Memorial Tournament, and took an impressive lead into the third round on Saturday, having clocked a round two score of four under-par.
