Shocking news! Scottie Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer, arrested by police at the PGA Championship.

Scottie Scheffler, the world's number one golfer, made headlines for all the wrong reasons at the PGA Championship. Reports emerged of Scottie Scheffler being detained by police near Valhalla Golf Club just before the second round commenced. The shocking incident unfolded as a misunderstanding with traffic flow following a fatal accident led to Scottie Scheffler's arrest by Louisville Metro Police. Court records later showed that the 27-year-old golfer was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and more.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Scottie Scheffler was eventually released by the police ahead of the PGA Championship. The incident caused a delay in the event after a pedestrian was tragically killed in a separate incident, adding more turmoil to the already tense atmosphere.

The golfing world was left in shock by the dramatic events surrounding the top-ranked golfer, raising questions about his behavior and future in the sport.
