All criminal charges have been dropped against golfer Scottie Scheffler by authorities in Louisville, Ky., it was announced Wednesday.
Jefferson County (Ky.) Attorney Mike O’Connell asked a judge to drop four charges against Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer who was arrested May 17 during the PGA championship. Scheffler was handcuffed and taken to jail on the morning prior to the second round of the tournament after an officer — apparently erroneously — accused him of ignoring traffic directions while seeking to enter the gate at Valhalla Country Club.
