In May 2024, Scottie Scheffler was arrested near the PGA Championship site in Louisville, Kentucky, after an incident related to traffic as authorities were managing a fatal pedestrian accident scene. He faced charges including second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding signals from officers, but he was later released and continued competing in the tournament. This sequence generated substantial media attention at the time. [Sources: multiple outlets covering the incident and charges in May 2024]
