On Friday, May 17, 2024, world number one golfer Scottie Scheffler was detained by police just before the second round of the PGA Championship. The 27-year-old was later released after being stopped near the Valhalla Golf Club where the tournament was being held. Play had been delayed due to a fatal accident near the course, and reports suggest Scheffler was attempting to avoid the scene when he was pulled over.

Despite this, Scheffler tried to continue, prompting the officer to physically intervene. Scheffler was pulled out of his car, handcuffed, and detained on the spot.
