- The world's top-ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler, was arrested Friday morning while trying to enter the Valhalla Golf Club ahead of Friday's second round of the PGA Championship. He's facing multiple charges, including assaulting a police officer, but was released and has since returned to the course. Golf.com writer James Colgan joined CBS News to discuss the situation.

If Scottie had just claimed to be an illegal immigrant going across police lines he would have been let in with no issues.
Now that IS funny! 😂
@@melissaannboone3639Not really
Oh plz this is more of cops being dictators. Why has common sense gone out the window with the putting on a badge? There was no damage done by his driving around the accident scene.
Definitely. I see so many people defend totalitarianism in this country. They “back the blue” but that is backing a police state! I will never back the police!!
Imagine if you went to work on one of the most important days of the year where you have an opportunity to get a huge raise and a promotion. Then you hear there’s an accident in front of work, and the only way in is blocked to the public, but they will let employees through still. You have a strict deadline to be at a certain place at work at a precise time or you lose your opportunity to present your case for promotion and a raise. Then you get to your work (later now than planned because of the delay), but the police refuse to let you through because they don’t believe you actually work there.
Remember that your job is also world famous, and your face is currently on millions of dollars worth of advertising. It would take about ten seconds to search your name and see countless official pictures verifying your identity. Wouldn’t you be a little surprised and maybe not sure what to do and possibly even agitated at how absurd this has become?
Then, because you know you are supposed to be let through, you make a move to go through, which sets off a chain reaction of police restraint responses. You know their boss already told your boss you can go through so you tell them they’re making a mistake. Now everything is escalating, and you’re in handcuffs being charged with whatever they can think of to prove themselves.
And the crazy thing is Scottie isn’t even one of the “random” players the police had agreed to let through. He’s either the second or third biggest player they should be ready to wave through. Obviously Tiger is the most, then maybe Rory next. But Sheffler is the favorite to win, and he just won the Masters. His face is everywhere in promotions, and they should have had department wide briefings on this major sporting event happening in their city this week. I do think it’s possible he lost his temper or made some heat of the moment mistakes about what to say, maybe even tried to budge past or something, but if they don’t release body cam footage with clear evidence he definitely crossed a line, then we should assume it was low scale “police brutality” (i.e. aggressive officers treating citizens as criminals). At least he’s a regular looking white man and didn’t have to fear for his life. The fact they escorted him back immediately after booking seems to indicate a superior officer got involved in the end.
I don’t know what would wilder, if he deserved it or almost got DQed because of incompetence? It could be a mix of both. What a bizarre turn of events.
VERY well worded!!
Imagine trying to arresting a pro golfer for attempting to get to the golf course
One news report said it was a misunderstanding. U think? 😂😂😂
Louisville is going to get itself taken out of contention for future events with the PGA. And Fuzzy Zoeller will cry.
Don't you love how THIS is the story... not 1 word about the person who was killed. 😐
It is standard procedure not to release information about the deceased until family has been contacted and the body identified by them. No one wants to discover a loved one died via a news report.
People die everyday. That is not news.
@@SignoftheMagiwasn’t when Kobe died.
Rest in Peace 🕊️
There are missing aspects to this story. Only time will tell. If it was that serious, the cops wouldn’t have released him that fast.
Trying to make golf interesting again? Yawn..
Just because you find it boring doesn’t mean it is for everyone 🙄🤡
True, and this guy doesn't look like he can assault a paper bag.
This is the excitement of golf!😮
Aren't you supposed to shout "Fore!" prior to running a police barricade?
that's funny..i'll be making a mugshot meme with the word 'fore'😂
Cant wait to see the body cam footage. 😬
Don't hold your breath
The cop didn't have it turned on.
@@NewWayFarm 🤔
@@THEPLAN6 😬
I'll wait until I see the body cam footage.
Of him dragging a police officer? I'm waiting in that, too.
The cop didn't have it turned on.
According to reports the booking Officer recorded the following items from Scottie before strip searched:
One gold watch
One alligator skin wallet Master Card
American Express Gold Card, Visa, Diner's Club, Carte Blanche
Two tickets...
La Bohéme, which Scottie replied- it's an opera.
He shall not going around the accident scene unless directed by police
He’s one of the nicest guys ever. Supposedly he was given different instructions from the first officer he encountered, then the 2nd officer was yelling something different. He was in a marked vehicle with credentials showing that all players drive. In time we will know more details. In my opinion, it was a huge misunderstanding in a chaotic, horrific situation.
He literally dragged a police officer.
@@BlackFemaleAnd50 So you saw that? Standard police procedure is don't grab on to a moving car. I can't believe he would do that on purpose. If you've watched him in any interview, you'd know what kind of guy he is.
More police overreaction
Driving around the traffic is one thing but if it's true that a Officer was hanging on the side of his car, then he should be charged JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE WOULD.
Officer was likely a drama queen living out his action hero fantasy. I had one almost jump on my Uber car because I didn't slow down fast enough for his liking (I was already going slow). Police lie and exaggerate. Hopefully they had body cam on to get to the truth.
Damned unfortunate.
Scottie Saved my family from a house fire a few months back. Such a solid dude. Who'd thunk it?

That's why he was arrested. There is no coincidence, there was a crisis and they took advantage of it.

According to Louisville Metro Government’s Economic Development Agency, the PGA Championship Week is set to bring in $80 million for the city’s economy from Monday through Sunday. Fans of the sport are also flooding the city, with an estimated 200,000 visitors coming to Louisville throughout the week. I hope the locals enjoy the money because I doubt the PGA will be returning there any time soon, not to mention other organizations that might be considering holding their event in Louisville. The incident could have and should have been handled in a more appropriate way given the circumstances as expressed by Scottie Scheffler himself in his after game remarks.
All because a cop wanted to have an ego trip
Let's see some body cam video before we all jump to conclusions. Innocent until proven guilty.
I am praying for that! oh dear God! What is going on?
Pictures appear that the officer uniform looks like a parking associate. Let's all take a deep breath.
Making an excuse for a man with was just charged with assault. No excuse if it were just a parking associate.
@@amain7965 If I know where I should be, and a parking associate with Napoleon syndrome tells me to go somewhere else, I'm probably going to ignore him. If a police officer tells me where to go. I'm going to listen. I'd say there's a pretty big difference in whom you might ignore and the consequences that come from that. And he was only charged with assault because the Bruce Willis cop thought it was a good idea to flop on his car. Was he stopping a terrorist?
Cops with no common sense making law enforcement look bad & supervision didn't handle it properly smh.
Cops had their whole life’s earnings on Scottie losing
I want to see the footage. I hear he dragged a cop for 30 feet from one person, then I hear this self-important golfer did nothing wrong from another. The only excuse I will listen to, is if one cop was telling him to go, while another cop was saying the opposite. I dont follow golf, so i dont know who this guy is. The " element" was big money.
Wow! What fore?
Questions who's wrong?😂😂😂
Lock him up! Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Just when you thought you was above the Law....
And he is, all charges will be 100% dropped. Mark my words 😏
Championship players have marked cars so they can use player designated entrances, and other players were doing the same thing he did. Police are totally in the wrong here
@moflow99 If he was above the law he would have never been in Cuffs,investigations come 1st.
@@concretejungle6938 The cop didn't even know who he was lol. Another cop had to ask the reporter who was in the car behind him "who did we just arrest?" 😆
@moflow99 He knew who he was & what thought he could do.
I smell a cover up for the poor little golfer.
Dang, I misread the title of this video. "... after trafficking incident" 😬😬😬
We can all guess what happened and Im sure he has been over charged. Not saying he is right and laws apply to him to.
Anyone who clings to a moving vehicle is a hot head and/or incapable of making a good judgment in a time of high stress!
And anyone who continues to drive their vehicle while a human is hanging on to your car is a sociopath
Sounds like the officer raged out, after Sheffler misunderstood his commands. Raging towards the slowly moving vehicle in the dark. Gillis trips while trying to jump on the vehicle, like an idiot. Embarassed with ruined pants Gillis claims sheffler is an outlaw and a degenerate. Arrests him. Didn’t activate body camera because he was not in a neutral mindset while handling this situation. Gillis swallow your pride. It sucks to suck. You lose.
You mean they greased the wheels of justice 😂💸💸💸
He'll get off scott free because he's a celebrity
Golf Lives Matter
Earning that hate one stop at a time
This idea that you can be charged with a felony because the cop is too poorly trained to not grab a car or let go of the car while it's moving is crap. This is a game the cops like to play called guess what I'm thinking. I'm going to guess that this cop not only didn't start his BWC intentionally but the whole bunch didn't mark the scene appropriately to direct traffic either.
Privileged mayo kid finds out his golf tournament isnt more important than a crime scene 😂
You're racism is showing
@@jimsouthward1549 I bet you only notice when it's mayo based 🤣
Tiger woods must be so happy
"traffic incident" is it funny way to spell being a massively entitled , overgrown brat .....
awesome
Your videos are very useful but they don't reach as many people as they should be because your videos are not SEO
U know what u are Mr. Scheffler?????….. Your A Black MAN!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 (in my Martin Lawrence National Security Voice) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a very sad story 😢😢😢
No it’s reality. Wake up Karen
I live in Louisville and was driving Uber for this event. I can attest to the fact that Louisville popo are rude @#%$heads and their directions are not always clear. The police officer sounds like a drama queen jumping on the hood of Scottie's car. Probably watches Bad Boys movies on repeat and saw his chance to be an action hero. One of them pound his fist against the side of my car when I was driving past him because I misunderstood his Helen Keller like sign language directions. #scottie'slifematters
If there was any doubt he's the next Tiger, it has been confirmed.
Let’s see the body cam if that would of been anybody else they would still be in jail
James looks like he’s no older than 16!
Right, but talks like a real pro - great job James.
The officer overreacted and Scotty was misled LED then over charged with ctimes that law enforcement always does to make it stack up
he pulled a randy moss
Bonkers 😮
Good thing it wasn't a Harold Varner lll!
Just comply
How do you know he didn’t?
If he hadn't complied, I really doubt he'd have gotten back to the golf course so quickly.
@@barbarabeagley6650 you’re making several assumptions here, such as whether or not he recognized the person as LMPD versus local security, what he had been told by others doing traffic control, and so on.
I’m not suggesting the police were right or wrong. What I’m saying is “just comply” hasn’t historically been some magic solution to interaction with LMPD.
@@barbarabeagley6650 Yet he was charged.
@@honeste6652 Those charges were what the officer decided to charge him with, let's see how it turns out once the whole story comes out. My comment was simply that he didn't get charged with anything that sounds like he really got out of line. He simply thought the officers were attempting to keep the general public out until tee time.
The only thing Louisville can get right is the Kentucky Derby. The roads out in the North East part of Louisville are newer, but still packed and chaotic. They may need to increase infrastructure around the club.
And he is currently 1 under after 3 holes this morning. He will be just fine, particularly when these charges are dropped.
golf is not important. A man lost his life. this golfer has zero respect.
Read the full story
😂 🤡
How about you read the full story before making a comment? Oh wait… it’s too late for that 🤡
@@Jacob-ed1blthat would be you 🤡
What's happening? People noooo.
How dare they treat an entitled white man this way !!!
Follow the law.
Elites are above the law, right or not? 😂😂😂
How do you know he didnt? Because a cop said he didnt?
Of course if it were Woods the cop would have kissed his ring and let him in.
He’s not the first to avoid traffic not knowing what ahead being in a hurry rush!
Literally never heard of this dude and could not care less.
Your so cool
@@sedrickwallace9466 Thanks. I know.
Pro Golfers are cry babies. I would wear his mugshot on a T shirt today.
He should still be in jail. Smh.
Go back under your rock
@@Jimbilly-nk4sc why? He’s charged with a crime shouldnt he be in jail? No wait he’s a famous person nvm.
@@Phoenix-nl2utyou do realize that non famous people get released instantly too right 😂
@@jcxtrooper after assaulting a cop? Umm ok.
@Phoenix-nl2ut Ge didn't assault a cop 😂🤡. These charges will be dropped, and he also had permission to enter. Also, in a marked car, the cop is an embarrassment.
CBS NEWS TV
4 charges, including assault on a police officer and he was released! Talk about a double standard.
It's because theyvare made up charges reports on the scene said he was ordered out of his car and immediately put incuffs he never assaulted anyone and had a simple miscommunication
Seriously? That’s your take away? SMH.
Making a comment before we know the whole story?? Talk about a stupid one 🙄😂🤡
Talk about blowing it
PGA could save him or save him. 😂😂😂
What’s up with the giggles? A person died and focusing on this golfer??
Sports is bigger than human life 🫢⛳️ yes I’m being stupid!
Another unstable screaming cop. And he has a gun.
How was the cop unstable. Sheffler totally dis regard for everything and everyone. My question is why I'd Sheffler out of jail with no bond no bail most of us would still be in jail.
But you people gave the police the able to not think and only react. You're welcome 🤗 Karen
Selfish
Selfish? He had permission to proceed to one of the biggest tournaments in golf, and he's literally the number one player. It's a huge deal despite your worthless opinion.
If he just listened...he would not be in jail😮😮😮 Y'ALL don't defend him...HE WRONG, HE SHOULD HAVE STOP💯
The reporter just said the police agreed to let players registered to play in the tournament through, but they didn’t believe he was a player. That means the police were “wrong” and shouldn’t have stopped him.
I suspect the combination of typical city police heavy-handedness mixed with his urgency to not be late (which is an automatic DQ from this major championship) and disbelief that they are supposed to be letting him, one of the players, through led to this stupid situation.
Kiss that tournament goodbye Louisville
Does he think that he's so privileged that he doesn't have to obey a police officer's directions!!
Doing Scottie dirty with that booking picture
no kidding....
Ted seizure 🐻
It's always the quiet ones that turn out to be dangerous felons 😂
Who died freaking news
Ha ha ha ha oh man
Someone died, but make sure your make your tee time.
People die every day. Do you stop what you are doing for all of them? If no... shut the hell up.

@@rayelwick5529 lololol
You are making a real dumb statement
You do the crime,then do the time.Scotty is not above the law.He must take his punishment like a man.
Golf? Pathetic game ... f'ing boring!!!! 🤮
Go back under your rock
@@Jimbilly-nk4sc: we got us a trump lover…
Scottie doesn’t know that breaking the law could cause him to end up in jail.
HI
🤡
He was tryin for a hole in 1, but wound up gettin one in his own hole.
Thanx for playin, said ole Bubba.
The situation is fluid...like my gender 😂
He has a sense of entitlement...Police were conducting a investigation into the death of a FAN OF THE TOURNAMENT. PGA will have a hard time defending Scott, while showing respect for ALL FANS!!!! And supporters of the tournament
hmmm looks like you have no idea what your talking about cuz you didnt read up on it. It was not a fan, but a worker...first sign of you not knowing anything about it
@@oldben1800 no different, please explain
@@paulvanallen-lononca no it isnt different, a person got killed. But it showed you didnt read into it, just yapping online
@@oldben1800 earlier reports said that a FAN was hit...my point was the entitlement, you or I wouldn't be playing golf in two hours after being arrested for assaulting a police officer..
@@paulvanallen-lononca probs cuz there wasnt actually assault and he complied from the point of being in the car on. Also had a lawyer, you or I cant afford the lawyer he got. Also, he has been charged, but nothing has been confirmed
There is NEVER any excuse for assaulting a police officer. There is NO misunderstanding. It makes no difference who he is or what he does. Quit trying to make light of the situation.
Eyewitness accounts say that it was an unstable cop who lost it. Imagine that.
@@jonathanwpressman Prove it.
@@jonathanwpressman you don't think that the news would be reporting eyewitness accounts of such nonsense? You're just an entitled hater.
I think the cop got his ego hurt. I doubt very much if That Scotty assaulted him let’s wait for the body cam
@@honeste6652 But isn't it on YOU to prove the accused was in the wrong? I don't consider jumping on a moving vehicle to be assault. I consider that stupid. WHy did the cop do that?
He went FULL DEMOCRAT.
no fan of the cops but if he would of got out of his car and talked to them and explained the situation might of gone better
@j.j.w.0.0.d.w. like i say dude no fan of pigs but if they say stay better off staying cause they can always if all fails arrest you
Looks like a PERRY ... LET HIM GO!
Of course, the police fabricated tactics, throwing charges to justify police incompetence. Assaunting the police could be anything like telking a cop ignorant and stupid because fragile ego.😂
The Athlete "Privilege" Card must have been expired...Let's Go Brandon!
Small town cops
So golfers don’t have to listen to cops
Doesn't matter.
Sounds like a cop's ego got bruised
You got that right?
Why are blaming law enforcement sheffler totally dis regarded barricades law enforcement he drove into a crime scene where another human lost their life and a golf tournament is more important than a person loosing their life
@@Stl.Cardinals it was reported Scottie, golfers and workers were allowed to go around the incident....read up
The police in the united states are horrible.
