Video: PGA Championship Leader Gets Arrested


A “very stunned” Scottie Scheffler uttered, “Please help me,” Friday morning when he was handcuffed and detained upon an attempt to enter Valhalla Golf Club before the second round of the PGA Championship.

In footage of the ordeal captured by ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, Scheffler — making his return to the circuit this week following the birth of his first child — could be seen in handcuffs while walking next to two police officers before looking back as Darlington filmed the ordeal and said, “Can you please help me?”

As Darlington kept back, an officer in a yellow jacket told the ESPN reporter, “Right now, he’s going to jail.”

Man, these guys are serious about replacing your divots!

Scheffler tried to get into the club by stupidly attempting to drive around a police barricade as an investigation of a fatal accident. Police don't take too kindly to that in any circumstances. He did make it back in time for his rescheduled start today, but he'll spend more time than he expected in Louisville.
