He's definitely been booked. There's a mug shot and everything!

Disposed charges. I assume that's the police equivalent of ... "we fucked up"

Great start to the broadcast here, crazy that the two guys on air were witnesses to everything.

Vibes are definitely that it was a chaotic situation, players were abandoning their cars and walking up to three miles to get to the gates, players and media were told they were being allowed to enter. It's raining and dark. I'm no Scottie Scheffler fan (is anyone?), but I would need to hear a lot more to think this guy deserves to be fucking arrested.

I tend to agree. I can see the officer handcuffing, but what made it escalate to him being taken to jail?

Well if he's like me, he might've told the cop to fuck off.

It looks to me like both sides got a little high on their own power...especially the police.

Caper movie with Jordan and Rickie Fowler trying to rescue Scottie from jail while the diabolical prison guard, played by brooks koepka does the bidding of evil warden Greg Norman. Tiger plays the wizened old reformed criminal that they pull in for one last job.

10-15 without parole maybe!

He hasn't even teed off yet and the coverage is making me puke. Can you imagine getting arrested and booked, then immediately released and have to play a round of golf??? A ROUND OF GOLF, YOU GUYS!!!! HOW DO YOU DO IT????

I've watched enough bodycam videos to know... If you take a cop for an unexpected, out-of-vehicle ride... You're going to jail. There's no gray area and room for "cooler heads."

The situation was likely visually confusing, but... A cop stepping to your vehicle saying stop moving is not ambiguous.

Really upset I have back to back meetings starting soon. Reposting tweets here for the rest of the morning is what I really want to be doing.

Not Scheffler related, but too good to not repost.

Must be nice to be a rich white man and be back at your job 4 hours after being charged with a felony.

Not the pants!

(sounds bad for Scheffler assuming the officer wasn’t dumb enough to lie at this point)

Post by **brian** » Fri May 17, 2024 10:23 am

There was an ESPN reporter who witnessed the whole thing and you’ll never guess but sounds like the cops were lying! (Or at least grossly exaggerating reality.)

Yeah, that's the big question, isn't it.

Jeff Darlington saw the whole thing so the reports have been updated with his observation.

I wouldn't trust a sports reporter on giving truthful details about the incident. They don't want Scottie behind bars. They may lose viewership.

I also wouldn't trust the police report. Guess I am just cynical.

Don't blame you on the latter for sure.

With a bunch of likely other witnesses out there I don’t think a reporter is going to put their career at risk to carry water for a golfer. If anything they might be tempted to make it a bigger story than it apparently is.

Now if he makes a 7 here to shoot 69, *that* would be badass

Man it sounded like some dumb fuck yelled during Collin’s swing on 18, even though no one mentioned it.

I haven't really kept up with the LIV/PGA details, but wouldn't this be the one major where LIV golfers wouldn't be allowed?

This is legit the most stressed I’ve been about a shot in a long time. Love Xander, but how the fuck is he going to have a good shot here?

Tournaments are infinitely more fun with Bryson prominently involved.

PGA of America and PGA Tour are separate entities.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Mon May 20, 2024 8:53 am

Do we all consider the PGA Championship the little brother of the majors, and that's why this was in the non-majors thread?

Post by **brian** » Mon May 20, 2024 8:58 am

I think that’s both fair (it is probably considered the 4th prestigious of the majors), unfair (it usually has the best field as far as top 100 players year-in and year-out) and the result of laziness in not wanting to start a new thread.
