World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler found himself in a tense situation as he was detained by police in Louisville, Kentucky, just before the start of the second round of the PGA Championship. The incident occurred when a misunderstanding with traffic flow led to Scheffler’s attempt to drive past a police officer into Valhalla Golf Club.

The start of the second round was further delayed due to a tragic accident involving a shuttle bus that struck and killed a pedestrian outside the golf club. The Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed the unfortunate incident to ESPN.

According to reports, the police officer tried to stop Scheffler’s car, leading to a confrontation where Scheffler was eventually handcuffed. The incident took place as the unidentified man was crossing Shelbyville Road outside the club’s gate and was hit by a bus in a lane designated for buses. Tragically, the man lost his life at the scene.

Emergency responders and law enforcement officials were present at the scene in the early hours of the morning, with PGA of America officials announcing a delay in tee times for the second round. Scheffler’s scheduled tee time of 8:48 a.m. was impacted, with the round expected to begin at least an hour after the subsequent update at 7 a.m. ET.

While the second round was initially set to commence at 7:15 a.m. ET, the unforeseen events surrounding Scheffler’s detainment and the pedestrian accident led to a shift in the schedule. Stay tuned for further updates as the PGA Championship navigates through these unexpected developments.
