Scottie Scheffler detained by police for incident before start of PGA Championship | SportsCenter 

Cops escalating a situation... shocking.

I hope that there’s body cam footage so we can get to see the actual incident and not just rely on speculation.

Mayor needs to make a call or PGA will never come back to Louisville.

The cop overreacted and jumped on the car. Then couldn’t admit he was wrong and arrested him to save face. Unbelievable

This is why letting police do traffic enforcement in UNMARKED cars is idiotic.

This is going to go down very badly for the local authorities.

No more tournaments in Louisville.

Whenever the police show up, you can always count on them to make a bad situation worse.

This man is the #1 golfer in the world. Imagine what happens to just a normal guy with cops like this.

Congratulations Louisville police department! Made ESPN this morning by 7 am. Everyone will know how bad you messed up by 10am.

Scottie’s street cred just went up

Sounds like a cop should lose his job and the golfer should sue the police tbh. Total abuse of authority and it sounds like that’s what the guy is trying to say without saying it.

Cops like this always escalate the situation. They never make it better. Scottie trying to get to the golf course is not some kind of heinous crime. Cops pull people over all of the time on traffic stops and let them go with a warning. This cop could have done the same thing. Unfortunately this cop appears to be have a huge ego and wanted to arrest the No.1 golfer in the world so he could get his 15 minutes of fame and go back and brag to the rest of his buddies in the Louisville Gestapo. It's no wonder why people are starting to dislike and not trust cops.

Waiting for body cam footage.

There is honestly no worse police force than the Louisville PD.

The cops will not only never admit they were in the wrong here, but they'll double down and blame Scheffler.

It’s a normal sop for cops to overreact and over charge people like this. Nice police state we live in. Disgusting state of affairs in our country.

Sounds like a very confusing situation which was made worse by a stupid cop on a power trip.

A police officer had stopped traffic on a road I was traveling. I was right where I normally turn left onto a side road. I decided I would go ahead and turn left. The police officer screamed stop!!!! Next he was at my window, veins popping out of his neck, yelling at me point blank at the top of his lungs, lost his mind.. Two minutes later he says ok you can turn.

Welcome to Louisville. The worst police department in America. I’m here and a Louisville resident. The local police has made this tournament horrible

Sounds like a cop overreacted

Why are all of their cars unmarked? Unreal

We allow every person and their dog to squat, shoplift, and vandalize, yet when we accidently drive into the wrong area 25 cops come down on you. What an absolute joke.

So, what are the odds that the cops body cam wasnt turned on😂

“There’s nothing you can do, he’s going to jail. “ Really? The Scheff? Passive, confused… hopes he’s uninjured and that they let him go with a full apology.

If you think all cops are good - you’re living in a bubble

Becoming a police officer should require a 4 year college degree OR a 2 year degree combined with military experience. It's too easy to become a police officer.

So the cops weren’t wearing anything to identify themselves as cops. Scottie is litterally less than 20 yards to the opening - where the players yes even world number 1 have always circumvented security, and he circumvents what he thought was security. Only to have his vehicle attacked and surprisingly straight to jail. I love people blaming Scottie and clearly knowing nothing about the situation..

What is going on in this world when you can’t even go anywhere without some type of chaos

The world has officially gone mad….. this bloke wouldn’t know how to get angry

How many times do they say they don't want to speculate and then they speculate.

Tbis could've been de-escalated with a few minutes of conversation.

Hope Scottie did not get arm,shoulder,wrist injury from the police officer.

Scottie needs to play in his orange top

Sounds like the cop overreacted big time!

50 police cars seem excessive.

This was a misunderstanding. Ironically, if it were Tiger, cop would have recognized him and let him go. Most people have no idea who Scottie is even though he’s the number 1 golfer in the world.

Sounds like the police totally over reacted to the situation. Scotties luckey he didnt get shot.

Can you imagine being the Chief of Police arriving to work this morning, YOU GUYS ARRESTED WHO? .... Secretary: Chief, I got the Governor on line #1 for you. 🤣🤣🤣

"i did not know you were a police officer... i only disrespect security "

The blue line.... where cowards go to hide.

Did the cops inadvertently screw up his wrist or shoulder during the altercation?

We see it from school. Total geeks become science professionals, great jocks become athletes and bullies become cops. They are what they are, I’m not surprised.

Police states like Kentucky should be avoided in entirety.

Yes, Police State.

Overreaction, escalation, hurt ego, and misuse of authority. This crap will all be dropped by the state attorney! You’re good Scottie!

How about just stop and make sure you identify who you are when going through security.

Abuse of power and people wonder there is so much chaos

oh. and lets see how the chief of da police spins this to make it look like 100% cop was in the right. silly

Kentucky will never get another pga tour stop

"I'm officer McIlr... McMillan" 😂

i would never hold another sporting event in that state again do to fear of overreach by these clowns. i cant wait to see how the politicians spin this one. should be good. guarantee you not cops fault whatsoever is what these clowns will say.

The policeman sounds like the kind of cops that need to be suspended. Instead of letting Scottie explain the confusion, the cop went off on him. This will be on the police department when it’s all said and done.

Those cops knew who he was!! Those cops are a disgrace

All he had to do is comply.

So sad and that’s why I never ever go to Louisville Kentucky

Looks like the police officer had a power trip

It sounds like one cop lost his cool and ruined it for everyone

Sounds like a power trip

People who are supposed to protect us are the ones who are abusing us and that breaks my heart

This is so stupid. He's being charged with assault because he went the wrong way down a road around the course that had a confusing traffic pattern, so a cop decided to JUMP ON HIS CAR. He pulled over immediately. They keep saying "10 yards" but it takes 1 second to travel 30ft in a car so let's drop that "being dragged" narrative. The cop was doing typical pig stuff and acting like a huge snowflake after the fact. This is clearly a made up charge. They even threatened a reporter with arrest just for asking questions. The only good thing that hopefully comes from this is that we can ALL see how cops lie, overreach and try to ruin lives. This is seriously criminal on the cops part. Period.

Prayers to the family of the pedestrian.

No more golf fo= lousivle they just lost lousivle 400million dollars in revenue way to go

Major cities were burned and vandalized during the BLM riots and the police stood by and watched. Scottie drives around a van on a wide shoulder and a cop loses his mind. 😂😂😂

Finally after 8 minutes they offered prayers to the family who lost a loved one

Love the way he recounts the “going to jail and there’s nothing you can do about that” comment as if it’s some massive injustice and in a fair world golf reporters should be able to step in and veto police arrests.

Is the body cam footage out yet?

If i were players, i would just not play to make a point, this cop over reacted majorly no pun intended

Is there any clearer evidence that the police in this country are out of control. Think of all the people who have been arrested/detained with bogus charges because of a police officer's ego and power trip. Before the world of video, we were told encounters like this were isolated incidents, you don't hear that anymore, because incidents like this are commonplace. It's time for police reform, citizen oversight and limited qualified immunity. Until police officers are made to be personally responsible (like everyone else) for their actions, episodes like this will continue as police have no reason to stop bullying the citizens they swore an oath to serve and protect.

It was a misunderstanding. The charges need to be dropped immediately and get Scottie back to the course, then put this misunderstanding behind everyone....

LMPD is a joke. Just last week three cops shot and killed a guy with a knife. If they thought Scheffler was using his car as a weapon, he's lucky to be alive.

Meanwhile, someone died in an incident.

I would never drive myself to the tournament if I were in his position.

What a joke Louisville PD

Total misunderstanding from the cops

Release the bodycam

These are the people who we got protecting us and don't even know who the number one golfer is in the world bunch of idiots😅😅😅

We need the body cam!

Cop made a mistake and refuses to admit it. Civil suit incoming.

He should've followed police instructions 😂😂😂

Terrible job by the golf course and the cops.

And law enforcement wonders why more people are turning on them........

I'm calling complete BS on this incident. The police bodycam is always available to the public when it is beneficial to the police department. When officers are acting against policy (like this case) the bodycoma footage is never available. Just a complete disgrace to police departments all over the country. If this would have been an ordinary person such as myself confused over the traffic configuration (before or after a concert or a sporting event), I would still be in jail facing a felony.. The police system is completely broken.

Might have been a good idea to stop when the cop told him to

It sounded like this cop that went after Scottie only arrested him to save face. Lets not forget there was a fatality that was tragically. Scottie got caught up in that traffic and this happened. Jeff Darlington did a badass job reporting on this. Micheal Collins, Americas favorite caddie reported other golfers and caddies werent having an issue getting into the course. Clearly this cop was on a power trip and is now trying to save face. Thats my gut reaction right now.

It’s too early in the morning for this

He dragged a cop. Now he's blowing it off. This guy is an entitled prick who drove around police barricade during investigation of a fatal accident. And they don't know how it escalated? They're worried this guy is going to have a blight on his career? What about all the unarmed black men killed in traffic stops?

Keep the white man protected at all times

Imagine having to go back to the precinct and tell the boys you got beat up by a pro golfer.😂😂😂

no one is above the law there was a fatality

can’t wait to buy an old row scottie mugshot shirt

It’s scary that cops can just have unchecked power with no accountability. Sad that it takes a white golfer to make more people realize this.

This guy needs to understand that no matter if you're the world's #1 Golfer, you must follow lawful command. You guys commenting ain't doing anything but making excuses for Scottie. Scottie must follow the law.

Where’s the “Just Comply” crowd

This is the same police force that killed brianna

Absolute garbage cops.

Don’t want to speculate and then they speculate. Awesome.

"NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" So saying he's the number one golfer in the world DOES NOT MEAN CRAP to police officers and the LAW!!!!!

My question: why is Scheffler driving himself anymore?

Please help me, the police didn't move out of the way when I was trying to get through?
