World No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler’s arrest on Friday morning has sparked a series of Tiger Woods memes on social media.
Several users on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, are comparing the two PGA stars’ mugshot pictures. Woods was arrested on DUI charges in Florida, during the early hours of May 29, 2017.
Scheffler was arrested by Louisville Metro Police as he tried to drive into the Valhalla Golf Club for this week’s PGA Championship.
Cars were stopped outside the golf course after a man was struck and killed by a bus around 5 AM local time. The golfer was then involved in a scuffle with an officer because of a ‘misunderstanding’.
Scottie Scheffler now faces charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic. The officer, identified as Bryan Gillis, has been hospitalized.
“Scottie Scheffler was headed to the range, and some kid said his mugshot was better than Tiger’s! That popped me🤣💀,” one person said on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Scottie Scheffler being handcuffed and shooting a 65 in the same day will put him above Tiger Woods imo,” another one added.
Meanwhile, Scheffler issued a statement saying: “This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I’m hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today. Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective.”
