Now, let’s talk about the behind-the-scenes look at Scottie Scheffler’s emotional turmoil after his shocking arrest at the 2024 PGA Championship. In a sneak peek of season 3 of Netflix’s Full Swing, Scheffler opened up about the incident that saw him hauled away in handcuffs and booked after allegedly evading a traffic stop.

“I was freaking out because I somehow went from driving into the golf course to a jail cell, and I still don’t really know how that happened exactly,” Scheffler confessed in the clip, released on Monday, February 24. “I don’t think it ever really felt real.”

Charged with felony assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals, Scheffler found himself in a bizarre situation. The police report mentioned Detective Bryan Gillis attempting to give instructions to Scheffler, who then accelerated forward, dragging the detective to the ground.

But the story doesn’t end there. After spending just over an hour in a jail cell, all charges against Scheffler were dropped, and he made it back to Valhalla for his second round tee time. The body cam footage from the arrest shows a bewildered Scheffler struggling to come to terms with the unexpected turn of events.

One of the fascinating aspects of this ordeal was the authorities not recognizing Scheffler as one of the greatest golfers of his generation. “I assume you’re pretty good if you’re playing in the PGA,” an officer remarked, leading to a humorous exchange about Tiger Woods’ skills.

Scheffler managed to maintain his sense of humor throughout the confusion, particularly when asked if he had been drinking. His witty response about using mouthwash before playing golf at 8 am lightened the mood in a tense situation.

The golf community was stunned by Scheffler’s arrest, with his fellow players expressing disbelief and trying to make sense of the incident. PGA Tour star Tom Kim recalled seeing his friend handcuffed and walking to a police car, while golfer Joel Dahmen was still processing the whole thing.

Scheffler’s arrest even led to some playful banter among his PGA Tour peers, with Xander Schauffele praising his friend for handling the situation well. It’s clear that even in the face of adversity, Scheffler’s sense of humor and composure shine through.

So, if you’re ever feeling the pressure, just remember Scottie Scheffler’s tale of unexpected twists and turns. Stay tuned for the full story on Netflix’s Full Swing, premiering on Tuesday, February 25.
