Scottie Scheffler after Round 2: 'Stretching in a jail cell was new for me' | 2024 PGA Championship 

This guy’s composure is unreal. This must be the sort of mental toughness one needs to be playing such sizzling golf. More respect for this guy than I ever did.

You aren’t a true Masters legend until you have a crazy arrest story

Scottie got moved from 9 under into the top 5 in the PGA tournament. Prison can change a man :)

Pulling for Scottie to Win 🏆 PGA . Remarkable round today considering everything that has transpired. Incredible

I have watched golf for nearly 60 years. The great thing about golf is there is always something that happens where you say, wow, I have never seen that.

Scottie I been there. Louisville police arrested me for trespassing at my house. Ridiculous!!

Dude is a beast. PGA and PD dropped the ball on this.

Stretching in the jail cell 😂 🐐

Mentioned the family multiple times when he didn’t have to. Class act. Well done, Scottie.

When they gonna release the body cam footage?

Absolutely a joke to be charged with felony assault cause some officer grabbed the handle of a moving car and it dragged him down. That’s an embarrassing look on the department. No two ways around it.

Y’all- I have cut Scottie’s hair since he was 10 years old. AND EVERYTHING Scottie presents about himself, is 100% real. It is not an act - the down-to-earth, regular guy you see in interviews, that's genuinely who he is. He doesn't need or really want any special treatment nor does he want those special favors. He's just a decent guy. For real. He’s like the friendly neighbor who's always willing to lend a hand when you need it. He's always thinking about other people, never expects anything in return. Polite, sincere, and quick with a kind word. If you were in a tough spot, Scottie would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. That's just how he is. Scottie’s dad Scott , is the same way. When they went to Scotties golf tournaments as a kid, instead of getting hotel rooms, they'd just sleep in the car and pack some sandwiches. Probably a nice father-son bonding thing, but I got the message that Scott was trying to show Scottie to live with the simple things in life. I can honestly vouch that his appreciation for his fans is 100% real. Scottie is just a caring, kind-hearted, compassionate young man. Words can't fully describe what a solid character he really has. Scottie is such a stand-up guy. He’s the best. I was reading all these wonderful comments about Scottie and I was thinking, can such a guy really exist??!!! So I’m just saying that yes! It’s true and his name is Scottie Scheffler. ❤😊

This was absurd of LMPD, I hope Scottie wins this tournament!

12 minutes of intervirpews and all the same question with a word or two changed. Dealing with the press is far more punitive than getting arrested...handled both like a champ...wait...he is a champ

Respect to Scottie for not calling LMPD the dogshit organization it is. Class act

Man lost potentially everything he worked for 2 hours then went in beast mode when he got out… jail can change a man

This is absurd. The police officer “attached himself” to the car?

Stretching in the jail cell 🐐 😂

Dude is clutch AF!! Shooting 5 under is uneffing believable!!

I once was directed by the Police during a traffic accident. The officer waved me through, then screamed at me to pull over and then gave me a ticket. The ticket was dismissed in court.

Speaks so highly of the police officers who took him in 😂 he’s all class

This young man's class and composure are amazing.

Two dark nights ago I came upon a wreck on a two lane road where officers were on the scene. As I approached, I had already seen several cars in my lane pass by the wreck. I was driving very slowly and prepared to stop, but only saw an official on the side of the road by my lane, so I moved slowly toward the center to go around him. Suddenly, he stepped out in front of me with his hand up. I was able to stop easily, because I'd been driving slowly, but the officer clearly didn't know how to use his light direct traffic, and I couldn't see his hand up in the darkness until he stepped in front of me. He didn't yell at me or do anything, but I wondered how easily it could have been misinterpreted or escalated when I was trying my hardest to do the right thing.

Class act all around.

I really admire his mental strength and mindset !!

While driving on the wrong side of the road he dragged a police officer causing the officer to be injured. Clearly Mr Scheffler was using his driver against the officer as his putter would have inflicted minimal injuries. His Caddy was reported saying "it's 180 yards to the next police officer. I wood (sic) suggest you take a 7 iron to hit your target" or a Toyota Prius.

The same question asked 10 different ways. Good ol sports reporters. 🙄

Shame on police officer and city which obviously exaggerated the charges. City got so much revenue from this tournament and even that idiot officer’s yearly pay. Nowhere in any video Scotty is seen resisting or assaulting so called officer. Total shame to humiliate such a decent guy 😡😡😡

So… he is charged with assaulting a police officer as they joked with him? I think we can all agree they didn’t think their partner was assaulted. His lawyers better about to have a field day.

What a level-headed guy 🐐

A born criminal on the PGA!😂

Probably the most courteous potential felon on the planet.

Thank you for being candid for your fans Scottie. Just unreal you played golf today and stayed in contention in a big way.

Great job Scottie, whatta pro you are! Unbelievable how you handled this with so much class…..

It takes a special kind of human to be able to go out and shoot 5 under par after what happened to him. There are a lot of golfers out there that have the same abilities as golfers like Scheffler, but there are not that many that have the mind control of these guys on the PGA tour. In a lot of cases, that is what sets these guys apart from other golfers like them.

Scottie Scheffler is such a classy guy. Complementing the Police Department was consistent with his incredible character.

Every. Single. Person that makes up this great game called golf is the absolute best. Seriously. Met some of the coolest people in my life playing golf. Scottie is that dude. Handled it like a G. My prayers go out for the mills family in their time of loss.

Scottie- my heart goes out to the family of the person involved in the accident...Not to mention the driver of the vehicle...The people involved in the accident on both sides are devastated....I am super disappointed that this crap happened to Scottie.. did they really have to take the dude to jail?? like SERIOUSLY?? I am always a supporter of the cops but this one is a huge L- yall arrested the NICEST MAN ON THE PLANET. He's a golfer- NOT A GANGSTER. This Effing cop says he's "injured"- COME ON BRO.

Scottie is the man. Love him. Great for golf

I can just imagine the incompetency from the cop that arrested Scotty. It’s unacceptable people!!!!!!

Stupendous guy, respectful of the officers that wronged him, then went out and put up some solid numbers. Great guy, proud dad!

Crazy

No video?

Class act 👌

Class act!

Such a crazy story.

This is new they not asking him no badgering questions on assaulting a cop or felony charges as opposed to anybody else and how he get bail so fast

He should do an "American Express" do you know me commercial. It would be a good way to make light of the unfortunate situation. Both sides could get a good laugh. Laughter is a great way to relieve the tension. The one question I wished someone would have asked would be "are you going to drive to course tomorrow"?

He got street cred now. Waiting on the album. F the cops❤️

Class act from Scottie

One of us!! One of us!! 😂

How variations of the same question could these goofy reporters ask? Good lord.

Absolute beast

Pullling for you man, go win it all this weekend !

The officer was really pulling for him today. 😂

Now I really want Scottie to win.

Sounds like a communication issue. He obviously didn’t do anything wrong, time for the police department to drop it and move on.

Respect to pga for not disqualifying him

Classy move to talk to the media. I would imagine that most other people in his situation would duck the presser.

To be the GOAT, you will need a mugshot.

There were two agencies directing traffic, One letting all PGA personnel through and One only focused on the accident. Who is at fault? They are both at fault for not communicating with each other. Scottie will get a slap on the wrist and the Cop that manhandled Scottie will stay on night shift for ever.

Sorry this happened to you Scottie! God bless you & your family!

Looking forward to seeing the police body cam video on Lackluster soon.

Legend.

I need a mugshot tshirt of Scottie ASAP

Acted with class once he realized he was in trouble. Did not resist and followed instruction. Glad you made it back out there.

I retract any previous comments. Lol. Dude is a class act.

Scottie, such a class act Should make Friday Orange Shirt a thing Win it all Scottie!!!

Cross that off the bucket list 😉

Charges dropped and they will beg him for forgiveness. It was a screw up by the cops who panicked and couldn't handle the situation.

So class that he still thanks the Police and didn’t name drop.

Absolute class act. He'd have every right to throw those officers under the bus but he's not. Speaks volumes.

This a press conference masterclass. He is one levelheaded professional athlete.

Crazy times we live in

Latest from the ESPN app, BWC was either not turned on or non existent (per the Louisville mayor). There is other footage available from a traffic camera that should be available to the public in a few days

Class act all around

He will get off scottie free!

Legend

Unfortunate for the family of person who died.... This has to be the first scenario like this in a tournament. Shuttle bus driver must be in shamble as well.

If he ends up winning, which he legitimately has a good chance of doing, this would be the stuff of legend.

His arrest was a sham.

The idiot detective overreacted and got embarrassed when his fat but fell of the car.. He should have never jumped on the car to begin with. There should be no reason for anyone to be jumping on an official PGA vehicle. It will all come out when or if they show he body cams. I cant wait to see them.

Mr knox will support you mr Scotty ! Hes a huge golf fan thats why i have a respect for golf much respect for you !

To ESPN: He was arrested. He wasn't detained. He was led away in handcuffs and jailed. That's an arrest. It's not a detainment. Jesus - get a clue.

could have been so easy for him to just fall apart today.

He may be the most legit and street cred golfer ever! Scottie is the man!

I mean this guy is the ultimate golfer - the sport is all about focus - and to be able to focus through a round of golf when you basically got arrested for breakfast - holy smoke - the guy is a stud

How good a person besides a great golfer is this guy😮😂😮😊

Dude has ice cold water through his veins. Crazy ups to him for acknowledging the passing of the pedestrian.

We want Scotty Mug shot tee shirts!

“stretching in a jail cell” 🤔

Crazy that he shot a 66 after going through all of that!

Scottie the 🐐

Scotty is a class act under lack of class circumstances.

Firing -5 after an arrest 😮

Scottie is too humble. He should have name dropped.

He should have played the round in his orange jail garb.

Dude shot a freaking 66 he’s winning this tucky tourney man’s game Scottie

I love the fact that they humbled his bish ah

Tiger Woods says hold my 7 iron
