The world's top golfer and recent Inwood Tavern imbiber caused quite the firestorm this morning before playing golf in Kentucky.According to ESPN, a fatal auto accident near the entrance to the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville just after 5 a.m. caused a significant traffic backup that led tournament officials to delay the start of the day’s golf action. At 6:01 a.m. Scheffler was arrested, cuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser.
“This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers,” Scheffler said in a statement given to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, who was present when the arrest occurred. “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, Scheffler isn’t the only one with thoughts on the matter. Social media has had a field day with the bizarre scenario featuring the best golfer in the world being hauled away in cuffs before he was set to tee off. Perhaps predictably, the posts range from the serious and somber to the silly and sarcastic.
I assume Scottie thought there was a small issue causing some traffic, and with a courtesy car, cops usually let us go thru ahead so we’re not caught up behind unnecessarily. Scottie was probably just thinking I need to get to the course to start my routine on time. Obviously…Column: A man was killed by a bus. Then a star golfer was arrested. And all everyone worried about was whether the golfer would make his tee time. A strange and terrible morning at the PGA Championship.
