If he is in the hunt on Sunday, he has to wear the orange polo.

I think this is probably my biggest takeaway.

From what I’ve read, traffic control/access was already a shite show. You have a pedestrian killed by a shuttle bus right outside the entrance to the club. Chances are pretty good that the pedestrian, the shuttle bus, or (more likely) both were there because of the event.

Then a cop who is directing traffic - but apparently hadn’t been directing traffic for the event up to that point - arrests the number one player who is trying to enter the event in a marked PGA courtesy car based on the instruction he had received previously about going around the traffic. The cops double down and actually book him.

Now it’s a national news story, an embarrassment for the city, and an even bigger shite show that ultimately leads to the PGA having to push the event’s start time.

When you add it all up, I would think the PGA is going to seriously consider whether the city is capable of handling this event in the future. Regardless of whether Scheffler handled the situation appropriately, the whole thing will be a black eye for Louisville. The economic impact to the city will be much larger than whatever Scheffler winds up having to pay his attorney to make it go away.

Why would a cop jump on a car turning into a golf course? Even if this wasn’t someone in a marked courtesy car, jumping on the car in a non emergency situation is just overly dramatic and stupid. Doubling down with an assault charge isn’t going to go over very well. LPD deserves all of the shite coming their way.



It's their culture.

Why did no other golfers have an issue, but this guy did?

Obviously he caught an attitude or pulled a don't you know who I am or something

If he did, this seems like one of the few legitimate times that card should be played.

You very clearly are bothered by the reactions to this moron cop's actions.

Its come out that the arresting officer was not even assigned to the traffic for the event.

So clearly he did not get the memo that everyone else got.

All of the golfers were told by the PGA and Valhalla officials that they would be able to go around and get in.

Everyone else did.

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington was right there when everything went down and he said Scottie never raised his voice or anything.

A previous poster suggesting the PGA would suspend Scottie is peak level tard.
