The second round of the 2024 PGA Championship was delayed Friday after a fatal accident in which a pedestrian was struck and killed by a shuttle bus near the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was arrested by police misunderstanding ahead of his second round at the 2024 PGA Championship. Scheffler was booked at 7:28 a.m ET, according to online records accessed by Golfweek. ESPN was first to report. Jeff Darlington reported early Friday morning that Scheffler attempted to drive past a police officer into Valhalla.
Scheffler was released from custody at 8:40 a.m. ET and arrived at the golf course at 9:15 a.m. ET. According to a PGA of America source on site, Scheffler was personally escorted to the club by an owner of Valhalla and made his 10:08 a.m. ET tee time. He has retained local attorneys for the case.
Here are some photos from the golf course during Friday’s second round.
