Scottie Scheffler releases Instagram statement following Friday arrest at PGA Championship

Scheffler arrested, released before PGA Round 2

Dan Patrick shares reports on Scottie Scheffler's arrest and release, as well as his initial charges, ahead of the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship.

Scottie Scheffler released a statement to his Instagram page Friday morning in relation to his early-morning arrest while trying to enter Valhalla Golf Club for Round 2 of the PGA Championship.

The statement read in full:

"This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I'm hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today.

"Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective."
