On Friday morning, Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was detained by police on his way to the PGA Championship. The incident occurred as he failed to follow police orders during a pedestrian fatality investigation. The dramatic scene unfolded as Scheffler was handcuffed and led to a police car, causing traffic to back up for about a mile in both directions on the road leading to Valhalla Golf Club.
According to reports, a pedestrian was struck by a bus while crossing the road in a lane dedicated to tournament traffic. Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, drove past a police officer in his PGA Championship-marked SUV, ignoring orders to stop. The officer had to attach himself to the car to bring it to a halt.
