Read our privacy policy Masters champion Scottie Scheffler said he knew five days in advance that charges related to his arrest during the PGA Championship were going to be dismissed. “That mug shot, I’m sure is not going anywhere anytime soon.” Even with the U.S. Open approaching, images are still hard to forget of Scheffler in gym shorts and a T-shirt being led to a police car in handcuffs. A surveillance video released by Louisville police last week showed Detective Bryan Gillis pursuing Scheffler’s vehicle on foot and stopping him from entering the course. “I did not want to have to pursue legal action against Louisville because at the end of the day, the people of Louisville are then going to have to pay for the mistakes of their police department, and that just doesn’t seem right.” Scheffler played the following week at Colonial and did not speak to the media.
